Hang-Ups: Weight, Health & Pscyhe

Friday, February 19th, 2010

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the dieting aspect of my life and the reasons why it’s so hard for me. I know some of it is due to the sedentary lifestyle I lead which is partially choice and partially the fibro. I need to take the choice part out of the equation and [...]

Work & Health

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

I haven’t been writing about this issue because I wanted to get it resolved with my family and my employer before I spoke of it online. It was common courtesy.
I’ve been having issues with my health at work, again. I spoke about the fact that I pulled out my shoulders and was having flare-ups. [...]

Take Things Slow

Monday, January 18th, 2010

I got chastised a little today by the chiropractor for attempting the “Couch to 5K” before my body was ready. He said, “I bet it’s called you on it, hasn’t it?” and I said, yes, definitely. I’ve hardly been able to do anything the past few days. I keep meaning to get up and go [...]

New Year Clean Up

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

We’ve spent the past two days working on the clean-up and making a lot of headway. It’s really helped us to have a chart listing what is the priority and which order we’re going to attack things in. It’s made a horrendously huge task manageable. Hubbie’s been working the past couple of days and again [...]

Lawyer Time

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Today I had a meeting with a lawyer who specializes in disability cases. I was very nervous about going, especially as I was going by myself, hubbie stayed home to watch the munchkin, and I didn’t think until rather too late that there were a few people I could have asked to watch the munchkin, [...]

Disability Frustrations

Friday, November 20th, 2009

I finally got a letter from disability yesterday, as soon as Kore picked it up at the mailbox I knew that it was bad news. There didn’t seem to be enough in there for there to be anything different, and I was right. They’ve denied my claim. I shouldn’t be surprised by this because I [...]

Happy Tears

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

I got some good news just before I left for work yesterday, and I was in a bit of shock. I couldn’t quite believe it. I still can’t quite believe it, but I’ve spoken to my father-in-law and his fiancee and they’ve both confirmed that they are indeed going to do this and it is [...]

Busy

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

It’s been a busy few days, between vets visits, doctors visits, work and clearing up the back yard. But I’m very pleased that I actually have mobility and energy enough to do some of these things whereas in the past month they would have completely wiped me out after only a few minutes.
With all this [...]

Cervical Kyphosis

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

I had my evaluation meeting with the chiropractor yesterday morning. I was both nervous and hopeful as to what he would have found and pleasantly surprised that the office runs so smoothly. I was almost immediately taken in for electrode treatment and after that was done the lady took me to the doctor’s office and [...]

Chiropractor

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Today is my first ever trip to a chiropractor. The idea is to get some x-rays done and see if there’s anything they can do to help relieve some of the fibromyalgia symptoms. Apparently they have some sort of electrode machine which has helped several other fibro patients quite a bit. I’m a bit nervous. [...]
