I love to practice Yoga. I'll be totally honest: I just love the positions and the exercise. I carry minimal Zen within me. The entire idea of concentrating for 1.5 hours on the breath alone constantly eludes me. Recently, I grabbed a Groupon for 12 Yoga classes at a for real Yoga clinic for $24. I mean the words "for real" because they chant and "ohm" and meditate. Plus, they are strongly promoting a Vegan lifestyle. Steve Ross (a famous Yoga Dude based in Los Angeles) says in his book Happy Yoga that when you are Vegan, you can catch a whiff of decay emanating off of the body of omnivores. So, as I was receiving my complimentary neck and shoulder massage from the instructor, all I could wonder was, "Do I smell like dead baby sheep?"
The Numbers: 11/2/11 - Food - Lamb, carrots, pear, sweet potato. Medications: ProSed DS TID, amitriptyline SID, Vagifem, Zytec SID, gelnique 1/4 packet. Pain - Outstanding from 8 am- 5pm. Afternoon at work was stressful, and I felt the bladder pain start to return during the afternoon/evening, up to about a 5 and concerns with leaking of urine. Vulvodynia pain was a 2.
11/3/11 - Food - Lamb, carrots, pear, sweet potato, asparagus, plums (I got to add these 2 items per my obgyn. Asparagus seems gross without some seasoning. The plums were so delicious!) Medications: ProSed DS TID, amitriptyline SID, Zytec SID, gelnique 1/4 packet....Progesterone topical SID. My progesterone levels were low when I had my most severe pain last Thursday. All my prayers are on this being the fix... Pain: Bladder was a 3 today...some times less. No vulvodynia. Not a bad day.
