My doctor suggested that using a cane might help me get around a little bit, so I used a cane today. He actually suggested a walker, but I would rather die. 

He was right, but it's just super embarrasing. It's probably in my head, but I feel like even old people are looking at me with pity. 

Also, my arm muscles are just not used to this. 

Today's been a long day- it was busy at work, I feel so self-concious when using my cane, and I overall just feel shitty. I kinda feel like I'm getting the flu. I'm running a small fever again too, but that's not too crazy.

So far this month I've had:

• Chest pain for 18/20 days (doctor said it is costocondritis)
• Moderate to severe joint pain 12/20 days
  • All the other days have been mild, except for 2/2 where I miraculously felt almost normal. 
• Moderate to severe fatigue 9/20 days
  • I count it moderate if I can't function for longer than 15 minutes without becoming too exausted to move, and severe if that limit is 5 minutes. 
• A fever 7/20 days
  • I'm couting everything over 98.6 as a fever, but I've noticed that when I'm feeling good my temperature is actually in the 97 range. If I count anything 98 and above I've had a fever 9/20 days. Most of the time my temp is apparently 97.5. 

I'm just going to ride my exercise bike for 20 minutes and then go to bed, even tough it's only 8pm.
