Posts under ‘fibromyalgia’

As anyone on Facebook and livejournal knows we’ve had a shake-up again as far as our inter-connectivity goes. Kiddy came back. I’m always reluctant to say “came back” because it implies that she was gone completely, but in reality, she was just sort of “sulking” in back for a while, contributing to discussions every once [...]

I dislike certain aspects of the fibro more than others. The achiness is annoying but I can deal with it. However the itching. There are many times when it itches like I have eczema and the skin burns, touch is extremely sensitive. One of our friends brought over a paraffin wax bath the other day. [...]

Yesterday was a “fun” day; the sort where root canals or walking a mile on broken glass might be preferable; at least until around 2 p.m. then things improved a bit…for a little while. I woke up to munchkin demanding I get out of bed and get dressed, always a fun way to start the [...]

I was thinking about something last night and I think I will have to take ‘my own’ advice. We’ve been working little by little with the ‘room of requirement’ last night we had what amounted to a ‘town meeting’. Each of us ‘alters’ took our place in the room and we had a sort of [...]

I love when people want to try and help me with my health issues but some times I wish they’d listen to what I was saying. I’ve had so many people recommend to me arthritis relief and rheumatism relief, or tell me that I shouldn’t go to the chiropractor because it will cause me issues, [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]
