Season Changes

I don't know about the rest of you, but the season changes are my biggest enemy. Winter to spring and fall to winter are bad. Give me summer and I'm one happy camper. Of course, you have to factor in the low pressure systems that come in with our weather systems. Those can be a problem, too.

It's been rough but I'm making it and am getting ready to get back on the supplements that really make a difference in how I feel. I'm really excited about that. It's amazing just how much of a difference they can make.

Good Intentions

When I first started this, I had hoped to be able to keep it up-to-date. Alas, life got in the way and I had to take an extended break from all the things I like to do. Now that I'm back, my 'good intention' is to continue to learn more about fibromyalgia and pass along what I can find out.

It's been a while...

Well, sometimes life has a way of taking over for you. With my return to Iowa in December, my mother's illness and death and other uncertainties, I'm please to say that I'm back. Yes, my FM is still making itself known. Due to all of the stress from moving and coping with my mothers' death, it's taking its toll. Right now, I've been out of the reading and studying up on it so I don't have any words of wisdom to share with you. With life settling back into a more 'normal' routine, I should be able to catch up and see what I can do.

For all of you who are suffering, hang in there. I know what you are going through.

No Solicitors!

I am so glad to know that there are people out there who are looking at my blog and I do love to get your comments. But, I am not interested in buying or selling anything so please don't list them on this blog. If you have a legitimate comment about fibromyalgia or something to share about FM, then please post. Otherwise, take you solicitations elsewhere. Thank you.

Too good to be true...sigh!

Well, what I had hoped to be a long respite from the FM turned out to be just one very good day. Lately it has been difficult to raise my arms above my head to get my hair washed. The pain in my shoulders never seems to go away. Today was a really bad pain day.

I received the newest newsletter from the FM association but haven't had a chance to read it. I'm going to check it out to see what interesting little tidbits they have to share this time. Seems to me I've said that before. This fibro fog sure plays havoc with my head.

Dare I hope it's true?

I've been noticing a difference in the time that has passed since my last post here. The pain seems to have abated somewhat. Does this mean a remission is in the making. I can only hope and pray that is what is happening. Life would be so much better. While I will never be what I once was, just being able to function better would be a blessing. I'm looking for work again after a year and a half sabbatical due to a surgery that rearranged my life for me. I look forward to the day I can bring in that paycheck and start back on the supplements that help with the FM. When I have them, I feel fantastic. I want to get there again.

Now I'm out of here to go read the lastest newsletter from the FM Association. There is a link to their website so be sure to look it over and take advantage of it. It's full of information.

To those who live with FM, hang in there. Good days can be had even though for some they are few and far between.

It Hurts!

Two weeks ago I slipped and fell in the shower and yesterday, Friday, I fell just trying to turn around and head out a door. Two falls in two weeks time has left me aching and wanting to just sit in a chair and never move again. I've noticed that I'm losing my balance more lately and really do begin to fear that there will be more falls in the future. It's not a pleasant thought. Does anyone else seem to have a problem staying upright? I keep wondering why this FM stuff had to find me. I could have lived without quite well, thank you very much!
