When I awoke today I felt 30 pounds lighter. Why? It was the first day in almost three weeks in which I didn't have a pain of some sort shooting through my head, neck, shoulders or back.
Since Christmas, my schedule has been quite full. I'm assuming all the busy days has led to muscles tightening in my neck and shoulders thus causing me headaches ... every bloody day!
I received an hour of massage therapy the other day and although I'm a little sore from the treatment, I can feel that it has relaxed me a great deal. I'm going back for another treatment within two weeks to remove all the knots and tightness in my muscles ... and I use the term muscles very loosely.
The massage therapy, along with stretching, anti-inflammatory medication from my doctor (yes, I visited him to make sure the headaches weren't anything serious) and learning that I don't need to ram 73 things into one day, should alleviate my itis* and make me feel somewhat normal again.
*itis = a term used by our clique meaning a general malady. Politely borrowed from medical terminology meaning "inflammation of."
