Default Socks & Hot Yoga

SOCKS: This might sound a bit weird, but if my socks are comfortable and made with mostly cotton, I’m comfortable. But if my feet gets cold (socks made of synthetic material), I'm cold. Or if my feet get sweaty (wool socks), I'll also feel sweaty and uncomfortable.

Maybe it’s HOT YOGA: I used to sweat A LOT, mostly in my transition time of when my meds/herbs were fading out and my new dose was fading in, and it didn’t matter what kind of socks I was wearing. I would get my t-shirt absolutely soaked and would have to change it, sometimes three times. But this gradually stopped once I’ve started taking Bikram Yoga classes about 6 months ago. It’s 90 minutes of yoga in a room heated to 104 degrees with 50% humidity. I must sweat away a gallon of sweat. The towel I use on my mat would get absolutely soaked. Anyway, I think that might of cured(?) my sweating problem. I go 3-4 times a week. Maybe I sweated so much during class, theirs nothing left, who knows.... I haven’t had a another sweating bout for months now.
Or maybe this is just one more symptom I can check off on my path to recovery. In some areas I’m still improving, but in some areas I still needs to rebuild.
I did something really stupid over the summer. I went bungie jumping and injured my back, I’m still suffering from it, IDIOT. I was doing pretty good over the summer; hiking, kayaking, biking, swimming, etc. And now my sciatic nerve is killing me. I can still do yoga (just have to avoid any serious back bends), but if I have to walk, I can only walk for a few minutes before my back and sciatic nerve starts killing me. I’m seeing specialists for my back and it’s slowly getting better. It like I was taking baby steps forward in helping my body recover from pd, and now I just took a giant step backwards from this back injury. That's ok, it’s just another bump in the road.

Enjoy life always, it couldn’t hurt. Just don’t bungie jumping.
