As I write this, I'm doped up on muscle relaxers. It's not common for me, reaching for prescriptions. But, for 13 14 days, I've been suffering: stiff neck, semi-locked shoulder, and arm pain.
It started with my left arm, then moved to my shoulders, then to my neck, then to my right biscep. I've tried massages, acupuncture, chiropractic treatment, Traumeel injections, lymphatic drainage, epsom salt baths, heat packs, cold compresses, a sling, compression garments...nothing's helped.
In desperation, I went off all of my meds/herbs on Tuesday. The docs (and I) hoped, if we stopped treating so hard, things would settle down a bit.
They haven't.
In a dream, I consulted Kim Kardashian about what to do. She didn't have the answer. She did, however, tell me she got 75% off Vegas shows and advise me to dress up like a showgirl.
I'm not sure how desperate I need to be to consult a reality star or to wear a glizty bikini, but I'm pretty sure it's significant.
Feathers. Check.
Ridiculous Outift. Check.
Feeling better? No dice (pun totally intended).
Maybe I should talk to Khloe?

ALTER EVERYTHING
What do you get when you combine a creative, Type A personality with Chronic Lyme Disease? A choice: A) Be swallowed whole or B) Reinvent yourself--daily. Alter Everything is my quest to respect "A" and embrace "B" as much as possible. Here, I recount my daily adventures in pursuit of an altered life.
