This has been an extremely difficult few days. The illness itself seems to have mostly run its course, but it has left me feeling like a wet rag. I can’t focus, can’t sit upright for longer than an hour or two, and I am sleeping an inordinate amount. My hands, feet and upper spine are [...]

it wasn’t supposed to be like this

Today was a pretty high pain day if I tried to do anything other than sit. Talking on the telephone was exhausting; so of course I did a lot of it. Typing kills, and yet I’m not quite done. If I hadn’t spent time on the telephone today then the mortgage people would be calling [...]

I’m late, again, but I’m not nearly so excitable about it as the White Rabbit was.
I’ve been having more and more difficulty concentrating lately. Part of it was the extreme levels of clutter in the house, part of it was the higher levels of fatigue. I haven’t done much today. The last few days even [...]
it decided to move on…

Sorry about yesterday (if you were looking for me yesterday). I was so tired that when I thought of doing the painmap it seemed too overwhelming. No real pain issues, though. Moderate was the worst, shoulders mostly. I just haven’t had any energy. I completely forgot to mention my escapade with the wiring.
I decided, the [...]

Today has been interesting. I woke up energized and cheerful, got my daughter off to school on time, did a little work, got my son off to school on time, and crashed. I tried to go back to work and was so exhausted I couldn’t see the computer monitor clearly. I kept listing to the [...]
it’s a day

My tags are alliterative today.
I slept reasonably well last night, though the last 3 or 4 of hours were difficult. Every hour or so, I kept waking up and having to sit up and stretch out my muscles before I could go back to sleep again. Thankfully, I could go back to sleep.
Sleep is a [...]

We’ve been shopping for a desk chair for me for several days. Three or four days in a row, we went out after dinner and either couldn’t find one that worked or the store was closed. One of those days we parked a little too far out, only to find the store had just [...]
like pea soup, but less fragrant

Everyone who’s heard of fibro hears about the fog. Possibly second after the pain, but it’s a close second. The fog makes you stupid. It makes you walk into a room to do something and wonder why you’re standing there ten minutes later with no pants on. And 10 minutes later you realize [...]

Hallelujah! We have a good day. I started the day with a ferocious headache, but it had subsided by 2, and the rest of the day the pain hasn’t been too bad.
Pain levels: started high, dropped to moderate/low.
Extras for the day: Still battling the extreme fatigue. It’s hard to [...]
