Not to well today.

I am not feeling all that good today. The pain has worsened a bit more again. :o( My physical therapist will be here this morning...I'm hoping she will help.

Ok.

Yesterday my daughter and I went to the cinama to see "Cursed." My husband is still doing electrical work in the house, and he needed us not to be here...so thats were we went. :o) It wasn't a bad movie...we both liked it. While I was sitting there...which I was comfortable...my left arm went numb on me 3 different times. Thats never happened before! My right arm and left leg do it all the time...but this time...it was my left arm...and it kind of bothered me. I felt fine. I had gotten a bag of popcorn, with extra butter, and I added more salt to it...and the container was hard to handle, and I pour a little too much in it. :o( Not good. My daughter and I were sharing it, and when I was done, thats when my arm started to go numb. Right now...I'm going to blame it on the fibro..I have no other evidence of it being anything but the fibro. Afterwards...my legs were so weak, I had a very hard time getting out of there, and to my car. I didn't take my walker, instead I held onto my daughter's arm. I thought I was going down a few times. When we got home, my husband came out to greet us, and he could tell by the look on my face that something was wrong. He came over to me, and I told him that my legs were about to give out on me, and he took me and got me inside the house. :o) Whew! I don't know what happened, but the next time.....the walker goes with me! :o)

The fibro has a mind of it's own.

Well....Not too much has changed. The good thing is that I'm not a hard 8 right now...I'm in a 7. Good! :o) Theis fibro stuff really wears your body down. I'm still having a hard time getting around the house. I just "grin and bare it." What else is there to do? I still don't feel that I can just sit and talk to anyone about how I really do feel. If asked, I just say, "I'm ok." Because I know deep inside...when someone asks how you are doing...they "really" don't want to know. Maybe soon I'll be able to actually say how I really feel. :o) I can wait...I have all the time in the world. :o)

I think of life itself now, as a wonderful play that I've written for myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part.

Still in pain.

I was able to get a good nights sleep last night. But, it didn't seem to help my pain. After a nap yesterday...it went from one side, to my whole body. It's still a hard 8. I didn't do much yesterday, and I know I won't today...I can't. I'm hoping that I will be better tomorrow. :o)

Not again.

I did not have a very good day yesterday. I was in so much pain, I could barely walk. Baby steps. After my physical therapist had left, the pain seemed to get worse through out my day. I layed down for a nap...in hopes that it would ease the pain, like it normally does....no luck. I went to bed at 10:30 and woke up in pain from my left side of my body at 2:45...and my left knee was in the worst pain. Nothing I did helped. I'm in a pain level of a 9 right now. I pray it doesn't go into a 10.

Hmmmm.....

Ok....yesterday was not a very good "pain" day for me. :o( I was an 8! Ouchie! I did, however, get a good nights sleep once again....which does help with my pain. But...it hasn't yet this morning. I woke up with pain all over my body. Not good. My right shoulder and arm, my lower back, my left shoulder, and my left hip and leg, and both of my knees! Whew! I think that covered it. Oh...and my right hand is "doing it's own thing" today as well. It's having a lot of muscle spasms today. It's a weird feeling. It's making it a little hard to type. My physical therapist just left...and she said that my right shoulder was very swollen, along with my lower back and left hip. Geesh! Last night...my right arm, my right upper leg, and the right side of my face started having pretty bad muscle spasms too! I'm going to blame it all on this stupid weather we are having. Well...not all of it. :o) It's all a part of my life! :o)

The same.

I'm still feeling pretty much the same, as I did after my physical therapist left yeaterday. Except for that now my left hip has joined in on the festivities of the pain party thats going on in my body. I didn't do much yesterday....mainly because I couldn't, so the only thing that I did do was to make super. Whoo Hoo! That just wore me out. I went to bed at 10:30, and I woke up this morning at 8:30! YAY!!! :o) my body and I really needed that sleep. :o) It looks like this new medicine that the new neurologist gave me is going to work out for my body. High 5 to that! Got to go...I need coffee! :o)
