I appreciate your post regarding the many ways that you try to deal with the pain and fatigue @migizii. As @grandmar said in her recent post you are well organized in your efforts to help yourself. I so admire people like yourself you are working to help themselves and you are a great advocate for your own health care by participating in PT, etc.

You mention, however, that you have not been back to the pain clinic. Is there a reason why? It could be that if you shared your fatigue with them that perhaps they could help. Just consider it.

Will you continue to post and let me know how you are doing?

I think the main reason I haven’t been back is that my life turned upside down immediately after coming home after the appointment (and I live a long drive away). Our house burned down 3 hours after arriving home from that appointment in March, 2018 and we are still in the process of rebuilding. We are hoping to finally be back in our home in December. I didn’t even get a chance to really take in all the valuable information I learned at the first round of teaching but have tried to incorporate some of the life balance lessons taught. I really haven’t had the motivation to make the long trip again and I think, some of the time, I continue to live in denial. I also have to travel to Mayo for a lung condition and osteoporosis and as yet, have not been able to coordinate the appointments. I live in northern Minnesota and with winter right around the corner, I don’t look forward to driving down there (my husband is always willing to do the driving in the winter). Perhaps too much info, but thanks for listening.
