What other health issues do you have?
As most of you know, I am here as a supporter (nurse) but I have Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue(severe), and myofascial pain syndrome. (the covering layer of my muscles is shortened and stiff, making it difficult to move without pain). I am hugomongous since my initial back injury. It is so difficult to deal with the weight issue being so exhausted and in pain all the time. I wanted to open this discussion prior to Saturdays chat about the same thing.
So, how do you deal with the normal health issues on top of deficits related to your TBI?
I force myself to be active with my grandson once a week, and I'm getting ready to start PT tomorrow. My hardest thing is making myself leave the house. I also have high intolerance to being over heated. I'm working on reducing my meds to try and reduce some fatigue. My blood pressure was an issue and may be again. I was on the muscle relaxer zanaflex and my blood pressure dropped to 70/30, bad news.
