Last asert treatment done! Audiology test yesterday. My hearing is within the normal range. My right ear is not quite as good as left ear that could result in balance problems. No fluid in the middle ear. She suggested I get more testing done at a balance clinic. Aching in my left shoulder. Some sciatic pain on both legs. Jaw has felt tired and sore since Sunday. Naturopath is going to talk to rmt because I am apparently not good at sharing everything I need to. She is going to warn that I am very sensitive and may need to go slower through the treatments.

On Monday, I went for a walk and did a lot of stairs and my knees felt so bad I didn't think I would make it. My hips felt off throughout the walk. Sciatica (or whatever it is) acted up on my left side (usually is on the right). I had a lot of sitting to do that day. Not fun. Stomach has been okay considering I haven't been eating that great and I am feeling stressed. 
I had my second Bowen yesterday. I like it. She did a lot for my hips, pelvis, sciatica whatever. And she did some TMJ stuff. Apparently the jaw and the pelvis are related? I don't think Bowen is going to be a quick answer to all my problems, but I think it will help over time. 
Audiology appointment rebooked for Monday. Last Assert on Tuesday!

I tried Bowen massage on Thursday. It has the potential to help with my ear/nausea/motion sickness issues, and with my back pain, and shoulder tightness, and pelvic pain. We'll  see. I have had a million appointments this past year and I have made it to all of them and on time. I went to see the audiologist on Monday, and I was a day early. I had to reschedule it. I cried. I really want to get my ears figured out and I was so sad that I couldn't get it done that day. I will be trying Bowen once a week for the next couple of weeks. I'm hoping for the best.

Saw the doc today. She thinks that I may have benign positional vertigo. Fun. I am going to try Bowen Therapy. You aren't allowed any other therapies while doing Bowen. I am going to miss my chiro. I am not going to miss nausea or oil massages.

Did my first acupuncture treatment today. I am hoping it will help my left ear and my motion-sickness/chronic nausea thing. Next treatment in 2 days, seeing my doctor on Monday to get warts treated and ask what the heck is going on with wanting to vomit all the time.

I got motion sickness last Wednesday and it was awful. I felt a lot better Thursday, but I was unable to sleep that night and was very sick all day. I felt better Saturday and Sunday and then last night I got really sick again and I feel gross today. We'll see how the traveling goes.

I am tired of thinking of my body. But I can't leave my body, thus I post. I learned that I take seeds to help balance my hormones. And boy do I never need them balanced. The pain accompanying my bleeding has once again been terrible. I also learned that the castor oil packs are also used to help with the whole shedding the uterine lining. So I am going to start back on the seeds and the oil pack. I have been going to my massage therapist a few times and it is helping with my shoulder pain. But I really don't like touching and I really don't like oil. I am taking next week off and I'm planning on cooking a lot and getting back on track with a solid self care routine. Hello yoga. Hello iron rich foods. Hello health and wellness.
