Magic 8 Ball Says: "Buckle Up"
Today was a pretty unnerving, dare I say upsetting, day?
I didn't feel so hot yesterday. I went shopping at a moderate pace for two hours with my mom yesterday and then went to their house for dinner. Steve joined me later and we played with the Wii a little before going home. Today I feel like I got hit by a Mack truck.
My arms hurt if I extend them or bend my wrist in any way. My back hurts, there's a ball of pain in the middle right portion. My neck/shoulder junction hurts, both sides are rock hard. We've been noticing more spots of tenderness creeping in for the last 3 months or so. Spots on my arms and shoulders where it didn't use to hurt to lightly massage. Now if he presses on them I'm wincing. The accupuncture wasn't working very well for me, and that's besides putting me $300 in debt a month, so I stopped. The supplements gave me gas. The Aleve my doctor suggested doesn't work. Is this what my future looks like?
I'm blessed to have friends and family close by, including a wonderful husband. If the Fibromyalgia continues to creep up on me like this I know that I'm not alone. Still and all, the exhaustion lately has been worst of all. I can deal with more pain than I let on. Exhaustion is another thing. One of the reasons I stopped going to the gym was because I started having pain doing even the lightest of arm exercises, and the exhaustion afterwards actually had my legs feeling watery. And yes, I was taking it easy. The pain on the days in between was making it so I dreaded going after my 'day of rest'.
And I'm lazy. I'll be honest.
Just some thoughts, trying to work through them in my head.
