I am proud of myself - I did Yoga this morning, all of 18 minutes combined, and it was HARD despite being almost nothing - some stretching, lots of work with my arms, breathing exercises. I took an Ambien last night and it did shit. Granted I was only cat napping until Tyler got home from seeing his friends in Battle of the Bands, which went way ( Read more... )

Fatigue, exhaustion, pain, all at same levels as yesterday. Ambien again last night - think I'll try to not use one tonight and see if the feeling of fatigue/drugged changes - I am always paranoid that part of this is caused by the drugs meant to help ( Read more... )

Made it through yesterday, got home, and literally crumpled and bawled my eyes out and I just could not stop. Overwhelmed, upset, in pain, lost and confused, all generated by exteme emotions the previous day, so what did I do? Allow more extreme emotions to take me over last night, cause extending this flare is fun and joyous. Had leftovers for ( Read more... )

My dad would be 80 today. I see him in my mind at 80 - he'd be the old guy with the iPhone, the latest in digital cameras, with a kick ass theater system at home. He'd be on Facebook bugging my kids, and he might even play a few video games, he liked to watch me play rather than play himself, except for Pong, I remember him playing Pong with us ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a bad day.  Besides the huge pain I was feeling, the sort of pain that makes it hard to sit still cause I feel like things are crawling on my arms and legs and I have to move to try to make it hurt a little less, and then moving hurts...there was also a ton of drama and my shoulders are in knots.  Well, I should say that the very ( Read more... )

New Yoga DVDs came yesterday, so this morning the alarm went off at 4:55am and I put in the "Warrior Workout" one and chose the 25 min chapter that is the "Warrior Warmup". Figure HEY, I've been doing this a while, same style, same people...easy right ( Read more... )

Ambien not ready to leave the party this morning.  C'mon coffee...

Gotta get the Honda worked on this morning, which means I have to get there early enough to get one of the workstations they have set up, and just work from there.

Did not take the nose spray yesterday, and did not have the same feelings for the most part - had a few dizzy spells ( Read more... )

Last night, took the Ambien early, with my other meds, figuring it has never hit me, and I usually have to lie there waiting to fall asleep - took it at 7:30. By 7:50 I was hit HARD. I couldn't even walk normally. Went to bed, don't remember getting into bed or choosing a position to lie down in, or anything. Just know i woke up at 4am feeling ( Read more... )

Prednisone still controlling pain. Can't say it's doing much for my nose, but I'm being impatient. Started new nasal spray today - EXPENSIVE new nasal spray - OMNARIS. Not going to bother checking online for side effect right now. Supposedly different because it's "inactive" until it hits the tissue it's supposed to help. We'll see ( Read more... )

Either way it sucks. And now I have to get through today w/out flipping out. Will post more about that later in a locked post ( Read more... )
