Keeping it normal is important to me.

When doctors don’t have a reason, they stop looking. It’s a Schrodinger’s cat situation. They say nothing’s wrong, so technically nothing is medically “wrong.” Nothing they have ever found has been overly abnormal.

But, I really choose to keep it normal because of all the previous transitions in this condition. They always preyed on my hormones, too, so I would swing wildly from extremes during those times.

It’s better to just endure it and smile. I just kick its ass every day, one at a time.

From a documentation perspective, I’ve had some roaming pain today and just the general leg aches. It’s pretty remarkable that what is going on isn’t just incredibly painful. The roaming pains can be more intense but the leg aches are usually below my “i can mentally ignore this” level.
