Hello everybody, it's been awhile since I last posted, that's primarily because I've been busy lately, and in turn that helped me keep my mind off of things. Not only that, symptoms that I've posted about in the past have been improving. So I've been enjoying having a clear state of mind lol.
Speaking of the symptoms I've been posting about in the past. The last thing I addressed about them was the possibility of sleep medication being a contributor to my bowel problems. That was the last post before taking a small hiatus. And the time spent inbetween posting that thread and typing this new one. I've been limiting my use of sleep medication and switched up my diet a little. And things are finally improving. I don't have abdominal pain, it doesn't feel like I constantly have to use the bathroom. And for the most part my stool seems healthy enough. But it does still look a little lumpy (I will never get over how awkward it is talking about stool shape). So that is out of the way.
But like I said in the past, comparing my anxiety to sharks teeth. After one anxiety trigger passes, a new one takes it's place. And whilst this doesn't cause me severe anxiety. it is still very worrying to me. So anyway, last night when I was getting ready for bed. I had knee pain that I didn't notice until then. I'm not out of shape. But i'm not very active either. So I don't know how my knee could feel sore. And now today the pain is still there. But it's more irritating than actually aching like it did last night. And I know despite not being an injury caused by activity, this isn't very worrying. But i'm terrified of having a repeat incident of what happened to me as a child. I don't remember what doctors called it, but I remember my grandmother telling me that they called it a virus. I don't know what that could possibly be or if it has a legitimate name. But basically. As a child I remember having a similar aching pain in my knee, nothing to worry about like today. But the next morning when I got out of bed and bore weight on my knee. I was met with terrible pain that sent me crawling on the floor not being able to put weight on it at all. I had to sit in a wheelchair for awhile while it healed. I'm worried that that will happen again.
