Health Update time: I started seeing a chiropractor (as I’m still without insurance) and unfortunately the first one I was seeing was just too aggressive and kept causing very very bad flare up’s, so I went to a different one and he’s been amazing! I’ve seen him twice and he’s so gentile! I also found a wonderful massage therapist that does cranial sacral massage and trigger points and she was also amazing. I’m stretching daily and exercising almost daily…after the massage I was able to get into a “rest and digest” state and took the deepest breaths I had in probably over a year. I’m able to now recognize when I’m back into fight or flight and pay attention to my body and get my nervous system to relax. I can reset my vagus nerve on my own, so that’s been useful.
I still have a ways to go, and a lot of uncertainty in my life so it’s a slower process since I can’t just focus on my health…but I am healing!!
Maybe I can start to even socialize again soon!! lol
This is a painting I finished yesterday of a Luna Moth, it has beautiful iridescent accents but it’s hard to see in a picture or video.
