Full summary
It's important I stay within my limits. I know that being a passenger in the car, lifting over 2 kilos etc impact my life. I will keep looking for treatments but pacing is key for me. my life has changed and I have to accept that.
How did the pain begin?
I was sitting on a fitball (exercise ball) it was my seat in the studio but it exploded and I fell to a concrete floor
Describe the health issue briefly
Neuropathic pain (pelvis)
Has there been a diagnosis?
Pudendal Neuralgia
Note any health cover / insurance
Health 1 private insurance but Workcover no longer help at all.
Note any medication
None but previously stopped very low doses of Amitryptaline
Note past treatment (list current treatment in next section)
Peripheral stim implant that I use daily
Other important details worth noting
I am able to do a little walking but I cannot lift more than a few kilos, I cannot drive and being a passenger or commuting is very difficult. I cannot sit without a seating aid. I can no longer work more than 15 hours per week. I require much help to be able to work and this is distressing.

2019: Going strong! A little nervous hearing about COVID-19...
Sep – Nov: I saw my pain specialist and began PEA and it's really effective. My mood has lifted. Strange how you can't tell what it is that's bothering you until it's dealt with. Being in a better mood makes a huge difference. I could never have explained that.
Jul – Aug: I think the heating is bothering me and the electric blanket might be causing my flares.
Feb - Mar 2017: I feel like myself again. Although I have to adjust my days dramatically to be off medication, I'm feeling better without all the medication side effects. I hope I can manage this way.
Dec - Jan 2017: Holiday seasons are so hard. I paced myself and although I was in great pain in the afternoon of Christmas day and New year's day, I have recovered ok.
I got a hula hoop for a present
Jan: I've manage to walk 3 evenings for a short time each in 10 days.

2020
Stress certainly doesn't help. Covid-19 is terrifying. I can't see my GP however Telehealth is definitely helping and is a great support when I can't drive and need to speak to my GP.
NOV 4
My headaches are starting to ease a little.
This means I can get better quality sleep. I hope this holds up. Thought it was worth noting. Perhaps this is all just sinus.
