I'm still suffering from migraines and daily headaches. I finally was able to see a neurologist, and we're trying a medicine safe for me to take while breastfeeding. I've finally been having a day here and there without a headache. My biggest issue during my pregnancy was my back, neck, and arm pain. I know everyone was hoping it was due to the pregnancy and would stop on its own post-partum. Unfortunately, it has only gotten worse. There are days I can barely roll out of bed. I'm currently in physical therapy to see if they can help the issue. I have even been going to a chiropractor, and it has definitely been helping. My neurologist did some extra testing to see if it could be some nerve issues. I won't find out those results (unless they are super serious) until mid to late July.
All that being said, my health journey isn't going to be an easy task. I have to find ways to get healthy and fit that won't irritate my current issues. One easy fix is eating healthier. I'm already 10lbs below my pre-pregnancy weight, and all I've really done is make a few better food choices. What I really want to do though, is get fit. For now, that has really taken a backseat. My goal lately is to work on getting my back, neck and arm issues resolved or under more control. The only fitness I have really been able to do is walking {and I don't do that enough}. My kids are my motivation, and I really do plan to work on this. No one said getting fit and staying fit are easy... and in my case, it's more of a challenge than I had expected.
I look forward to the day I can look back at this post, and be proud of all that I did actually accomplish. I just keep reminding myself that I've been blessed beyond measure. #NoExcuses #OnlyResults
