Thanks, Medlib. Mind and body work so mysteriously to me.
Well, today is Friday, and while I had a really good day yesterday, and went to sleep with a sense of "thank God that's over"...I woke up sick again today. All the symptoms are back. I feel just terrible -- YUK! So, I decided to try another approach rather than giving in to this (collapsing) or screaming bloody murder at my docs. I decided I'd call my therapist. Told her how much better Thursday was after working with her the previous night, and that now I was really sick again. I told her I didn't understand, and what could this be, yadda, yadda, and she stopped me short and told me get a pen and paper. She gave the following "Rx": 1.) Don't try to figure it out! Do not dwell on it. Just "be" with it. 2.) Call my physician's office and leave word with his nurse of my symptoms as a means to keep him informed of what I am experiencing physically... not to create an emergency. 3.) Treat any symptoms I have (such as if I have diarrhea all day, take something for that, or if I have a headache, do some meditation, take some tylenol) and keep in mind that while all this is very distressing, it is NOT dangerous. 4.) Do what I like that is enjoyable today -- Even if if means just taking a bubble bath, reading, taking a walk...whatever I can do given the situation and symptoms at hand, make time for me. 4.) And finally, she told me to go rent and watch the following video: Indiana Jones and the Holy Grail. She said that there was some stuff in there that has to do with following clues, and seeking the "truth" or something. Hmm.
I am following her Rx today. Never saw any Indiana Jones movies before. The bubble bath was nice. Maybe I'll sit on my patio in the sun before driving to the video store. Hmm. I'll do whatever I can to make this the best possible day, no matter how terrible I feel.
P.S. Thanks for the URL's...I'll check them out another time. Today, I am just going to "be".
