Yesterday...two good things
...Chance apparently knew I needed extra kitty loving, because twice he stood on his hind legs, kneaded my chest gently, and licked me on my face.
Also in the good things realm, I think I *may* possibly have solved the mystery of the stabbing pains at night. I believe it has to do with the long-standing thermostat wars that have occurred in my household since time immemorial, that go something along the lines of, "I am cold and it is cool outside, even though no windows are open to let in the cool air, I will turn off the cooling completely" and then someone else going, "Why is it so f'ing hot in here, who turned off the cooling??? I will now turn the house into a fridge."
So last night I was SUPER hot and also, maybe randomly, having the pains. So I thought, I will go make it a degree or two cooler or at least turn the cooling *back on* if the person-who-shall-remain-nameless has turned it off (I forget if they had). And guess what? The pain stopped.
Oh, POTS/dysautonomia and your bizarre ways of saying "I am heat intolerant make it stop."
(In retrospect, maybe I could have figured this out sooner if I had thought more about how when the pain started, it would stop if I slept on the couch...in the coolest room in the house.)
Praise be to All God(esse)s of Sleep, and may this problem resolve itself with a minimum of drama regarding the thermostat setting at night.
