What a week.
I wonder how stress affects the symptoms of Polymyositis? I was reading somewhere else where it was talking about those diagnosed with Polymyositis had some type of stressful/traumatic type of event that triggered the onset. Now, if I think back, I did have an extremely, over the top stressful month prior to becoming ill. But, as with all things, there were just as much being said about all those diagnosed without the stress as a precursor...so, it remains unknown.
What we do know, however, is that stress can trigger relapses of symptoms. So, I wasn't surprised when my CPK levels were on the high side when I had my lab work done this week. The week prior has been crazy stressful.
While my van is in the shop, I've rented a car for the weekend. Okay, so I realize I still need my conversion van, even if I'm not in the wheelchair. Getting in and out of a car is nearly impossible. I did it, with much difficulty. (But, I sure like the gas mileage better on a little car).
Mik had her first formal last night. She's growing up too fast. Before I know it she'll be moving away :(
