Don't know what to do.

It was a pretty bad day yesterday. The only way that I can think of the pain I was in with my right shoulder area is like an open nerve in a tooth. But not able to put Anbesol on the area to numb it. I tried laying down, I was able to take a nap. I tried laying down again. I did have my arm in my sling, and that helped a bit. I went to bed at 9:45, and woke up at 1:00....couldn't get comfortable, so I got up. I hope today is better. I never would have thought I could have pain like this.

In pain.

Ok....#1, this time change has really messed with my body. I've still been in major pain this morning. Still having a lot of pain in my right shoulder. After writting this...my arm is going in the sling. My physical therapist just left....and boy did it hurt! She did my left arm first....I had no idea it was in as much pain as it was....probably because of my right arm taking over. When she got to my right arm, I just about flew through the roof! I was getting pretty sick to my stomach. My neck, shoulder, upper back, and upper arm, and pretty much the whole right side of my upper back was killing me. She hit a spot on my shoulder that triggered another pain in the front of my lower right side of my neck! She told me that it was very swollen. The whole area I just described was! The spot that was triggered was called the brachial plexus, (upper dorsel spine), spinal nerves. So, that nerve was swollen as well. She rubbed it, and it hurt so bad, I thought I was going to get sick. She told me to lay in bed for awhile to rest that whole area. I did...I honestly couldn't move. Took some deep breaths, and just relaxed. Just when I think that a part of my body can't hurt any worse....something does. But, thats part of having fibromyalgia.

Have a pain free day. :o)

uuuggghhh...another time change!

I went to bed at 11:00 last night....then I get up at 3:00! Not including the time change. I just layed in bed...the last that I looked at the clock was 12:20. I was so hot! I had to change my nightgown twice. All day yesterday was very painful. Again my whole body was in pain. My husband would touch me, and it hurt. I felt so bad, I couldn't even be touched! No where. :o( I layed down twice yesterday because of getting up so early, and I didn't do a thing! I rested the whole day. I don't want to end up in bed for a day. Maybe I should have yesterday. Still very much in pain this morning. I honestly don't know what has been causing this. I have been doing my best with getting rid of my stressers like my physical therapist said to do. It has been making me feel better spiritually. So, I'm waiting on the rest of me. :o) Gentle hugs to you all.

The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Yesterday was fun and very painful. My daughter and I went to lunch at Cracker Barrel. It's so good to see her eat. :o) And boy does she eat! :o) This month is my son's birthday. We both seen a shirt there that fit him to a tee! lol So...I got it for him. I had planned to also go to Wal-Mart to get a pad for the changing table.....but...couldn't do it. After eating, I wanted to get a new Bible. I've never had one of my own, just the one that my stepdad gave me that was his. I've used it so much...the binding has come off. :o) So...we made the trip to the next town to the book store. :o) While there, something came over me like I had something very heavy on my shoulders. I still wasn't feeling all that well when we left to have our little outing, but I just wanted to do it. I should have listened to my body. I know, I don't know how many times I say that. The "inside" of me was still having fun and enjoying myself with my daughter. I had given her $20.00 for herself. She never has any money just for her...in fact, she never has any money at all....her boyfriend doesn't even do that much for her. :o( We left the book store...and I has just enough energy to drive home. When I got home, my whole body was feeling like stone. I still don't know what that means. My right arm was basically useless. My back/spine felt like every one of the vertebra's were grinding together, with a bit of electrical shock shooting through my body. My leags and hips were very weak. I was at a 10. My husband helped me to the couch, and there I stayed until I went to bed at 9:30. I did put my right arm in my sling, to keep most of the pressure off of the shoulder. It helped some. I got up this morning at 2:00. I was really hoping to sleep a little more than that. But at least I did get that much. :o) This morning, I am able to walk better, and my back feels a bit better....but as for my right arm and shoulders, they still hurt pretty bad. All in all...I still had a great time yesterday! I love to spend time with my kids! :o)

A much better day. :o)

Yesterday turned out to be better then the day before. :o) My daughter is feeling better.

Now myself....my muscles in my upper right arm were still feeling like they were turning to stone...and by the time evening came, I could hardly use it. My right shoulder couldn't be touched at all. My husband put his hand on it....it just about sent me through the roof. He didn't know. The pain is that bad. My right knee cap went out of place several times. That hurts. The pain in my shoulder generated down my back as well. I had to watch what to wear, because the "feel" of differant fabric would make my body hurt all over. Both hips are still in pain. Laying down even made me hurt. I tried to lay on my back, well....I still had pain, but I could stand that pain over my hips. I've been using my breathing technics, and when I do lay down, I have a CD player next to my bed, and I put in a beach sound CD. It relaxes me to hear that. I've been doing everything that I can think of, and what my physical therapist told me to do. I am going to try even harder today to feel better. ::::crossing my fingers:::: My husband will be here today, and he can help me. :o) Just keep me in your prayers. :o)
