Pain is back.

.

About a year ago, I stopped hurting.  Did better, for about six months... or so.  For about thirty five years, to then, I had been in constant pain.  Exhaustive pain, adding to simple exhaustion, doubling or tripling the effects.  Now, while pain ended, exhaustion remained.

The last six months, pain has returned.  Exhaustion has increased with it.  That, exhaustion, had never left.  But, with pain gone, it was simpler, easier to ignore... sometimes.  With pain returning, complete exhaustion is now pretty much complete.

I thought going carnivore had been the cure?  Maybe it was.  I am much closer to general keto than carnivore, with mom here and doing the cooking.  So... might have to get back much more into carnivore?  Maybe.

Blood sugar is good.  At 113 fasting, or the equivalent of an 5.6 A1C, it's good.  And, with testing blood pressure on top of meds, just this last week or two, bp is down into the 120-135/80-90 even before taking medicine, on top of now cutting medicine in half.  (Which tells me that testing bp trains for lower readings... meaning extra medicine doesn't help, without testing bp.

Anyway, so even with stats being managed, pain remains.  However, the pains aren't the same.  It used to be my kidneys and liver, mostly, that hurt.  Doctors told me those can't hurt.  But from my experience, and talking with my brother, I... we... disagree.

Now the pain is different.  Torso aches yet.  Some of the pain is as if I was hit by a 2x4 across my midsection.  More the ache a few days afterward.  As well, a pain opposite (frontally) from my kidney.  As well, general aches and pains inside my torso cavity.

Not severe pain.  Then again I can handle a kidney biopsy, and recovery, with other severe aches and pains, without pain killers.  So... I am rather... pain tolerant.  I would count the pain as... about two thirds of the biopsy recovery pain.  The difference is the biopsy pain went a way in a few weeks.  This is steady.  If that makes it easier, in a way.  Though I can escape it in sleep.

Will see if taking back control of bp, lowering that, will help.  If not, I'll push back to carnivore and fasting.  Though, too, perhaps warming will help.  It is supposed to hit 80 degrees today (F ~ 26.7 C).  Which seems rather pleasant?  Almost cool.  Losing weight has serious benefits.

Oh?  And a few extra visits this month.  If... one can believe the numbers... there have been a record number of visits?  Just over 380,000 visits?  I'm not... an absolute believer.  But... that is the number shown.  If there were even twenty thousand, or even twenty, real visits a day, I should think there would have been a few comments.  Just saying.  But it's... funny.  And I do enjoy in some small way.  Just big impossible numbers.  *grins*
