Went to the doctors today for a revisit of my FM medications (upped my Cymbalta to 60mg) and blood work for my other condition (hypothyroidism). I am a hard draw and so the nurse used a heating compress to help bring my veins to the surface. I thought the pack was neat, so here is a picture of it.
I especially like that it is Made in America by Americans with Disabilities!
I also mentioned the continued exhaustion, loss of appetite and tingling I have which I know can be a side effect of FM, I am being tested for my magnesium level as well as Vitamin D levels (I've been taking VitD for about 3 months now). I am anxious (not in a bad way though) to see what these levels will show.
My doctor also suggested therapy, I told her about my blog and that it is helping to just write about my condition. So we'll see if I actually go to a therapist or if this will continue to help.
We are slow again at work today which is always appreciated, it really does help with my stress level. Not that my job is stressful, but certain aspects can be.
Made speghetti for dinner, yum...oh and a couple glasses of red wine. Overall, not a bad day.
