minitata's Journal, 25 June 2018

42 hours into my fast and I'm on my 2nd 2 litre bottle of water. Because of the bursitis in my hips I'm not getting enough sleep. This morning I made myself stay in bed until after 6 am as I know that Tony will wake up and won't go back to sleep properly if I'm up and he needs his sleep too.

I don't know what to do about the bursitis. I've been having intermittent steroid injections since I was 19 (44 years) and last time I was warned that I shouldn't keep having them as I could get brittle bones - but nothing else calms them enough. It's been well over 5 years and they just keep getting worse and worse. Ah well it's not that big a deal in the scheme of things - others have it worse - and I can always have an afternoon nap.

Horrid condition, bursitis. Sorry to hear you've had it for so long. Have you tried physical therapy?

You have such a wonderful positive humble attitude. I am inspired.

There may be a natural cure. Will let you know when I find the information. I know someone who had it and used a natural remedy.

Yes Doobrie, I do several exercises everyday - I think it's the only thing that's kept them under control - that and the Transvasin cream anyway. That's when Tony isn't using the Transvasin to clean his teeth - which he's done a couple of times. Once when he was sober and I was drunk(ish) and once when he was 'thinking'.

Don't be inspired adefwebserver - I'm not humble about it. I just get sick of hearing myself complain. I'm lucky - I have a wonderful husband, a beautiful home with my mother-in-law - Tony looks after us both. Money for food and I'm happy & content. A lot of people have a lot less. My glass is certainly more than half full

@ Allen14 I'd love to find a natural cure. I can't do a lot of exercise and most of the cures call for lots of exercise.

Can I ask are you off sugar, gluten and refined carbohydrates?

Hey Mini.. I had hip ultrasound for bursitis in March.. then saw a Physio fir specific hip strengthening exercises 3 weeks ago.. According to Physio the new thinking is that hip bursitis often occurs due to a weakness in the large muscles surrounding the hip.. this often appears after a trauma.. I’ve had bursitis for your , but after a fall UP the stairs on 3/7/17, they crated my hips for fracture as the pain literally made me cry on weight bearing and a year later I still can’t use exercise bike/stairs due to pain.. I am booked to have steroids injected under ultrasound on 25/7 and see orthopaedic consultant on 2/7.. I know there are 2 more procedures they can try if this doesn’t work.. will share the info with you after doc appt.. I almost literally feel your pain, hope it resolves a bit soon 🤗🤗🤗
