#fibro fun

[headlamprey]

UGH I somehow always forget that my ONE DOCTOR forgets to refill my PRESCRIPTION ON TIME even tho its a controlled substance that makes me hella sick after missing a dose. My other doctors are so on point about it that I just KEEP FORGETTING AHDGAGAFA. like how do I keep forgetting I gotta bug her a week before I'm about to run out, this is the NERVE PAIN MEDICATION thE ONE medication I am on that makes me go through WITHDRAWAL. My psych doesn't even do this with my kpinssss like GURL PLZ

Fibromyalgia

Pro: Easily check all limbs and appendages are still there.

Con: checking is really that they all hurt so you can’t forget them.

Don’t you just love how incredibly inconsistent bodies are? Like, yesterday, 5 hours of sleep got me a good 14 hours of feeling semi-energized. Today? About 30 minutes.

Just wild.

fucked up over the fact that pain makes pain worse. if my neck hurts when i move it, i move it less and keep the muscles tense = more neckpain??? sometimes painkillers really are the medicine. biting scratching etc etc

Feel like crap again

There was me getting a handle on things and then the Fibro and ME kicks the chair from under me and I feel like utter crap again.  

I’ve just read this great book written by someone else who has ME and it all made so much sense that I really did feel as though it was helping.  It did help.  I have a new understanding of what’s happening to me and why it’s happening and I felt I was starting to reach acceptance.

I don’t feel quite as accepting any more.  I’m loaded with cold and then have cold symptoms on top, which has set off my costochondritis so have searing fire across my chest with the occasional stab, so fun.  Then add in the extreme pain I have with my left knee, right hip, head and lower back, again fun. The brain fog that stops me from remembering things and at times my own kids names, ooo lots of fun.  Crippling fatigue and exhaustion with insomnia so there’s nothing I can do about it, oddles of fun. And the cherry on top is the wide spread pain throughout by body.  

And the absolute killer is that this isn’t even a bad day for me.  I even left the house today.  I drove and everything.  Imagine all that and more on a bad day.

I’m not suicidal any more, thank goodness, because that laundry list is the kind of one that could push someone over the edge.  I have family and friends to get me through this.  My boys are the light of my life and I want to see them grow up and see what they become and who they love and love their children.  Those things are the only things that keep me going on days where I feel like I want to give up.  I just need to remember that.  I need to keep fighting for my family.

maybe if more people left me offerings i would be more able to do things like how do you know i can't grant wishes??? where are my altars?? where are the rituals performed in my name?? this is why i'm disabled guys

Fuck, I have been in so much pain lately. 

I don’t know if it’s the weather getting cold or what, but my whole stupid body aches like it’s bruised, and my wrists just feel like they’re mildly on fire 24/7. 

I’m worried the PT isn’t going to help them and I’ll have to get surgery on both hands. 

I’m just so over having a broken body right now.
