Elsa, you put that really well, and I second the rain, the cycle, and the pain it puts me through. Hurrah for being a woman. Time for a bubble bath. Feel better!

First real cold front has arrived....

( insert rant here)

Not very verbal ( again) but gentle hugs to everyone.

And those of you over doing things .... Just knock it off !!!

Back to painting and soon putting more flooring down.

hehe

Thing is that a character trait of folks with fibro is that we tend to overdo.

Personally, am looking forward to my week off.

tho not the most graceful of birds, the wild turkey is wary and cunning...

may you see IT coming and get away~!

Happy Turkey Day~ (week)....

I started a thread in Current Events about part of what's going on with me. Can find it here:

Am frustrated that the ranting continues about politics, but I barely got any responses.

I tried to take the letter from the t regarding Belle to the office today but there is no one there. Perhaps they took the week off for the holiday. They do that sometimes.

Belle and I are getting along great. She is learning things pretty quickly. She is smart and loving. She hates having to stay in the bathroom while I go somewhere and I hate it for her, but there is no other alternative.

My eyes are worse and my exhaustion is bone deep and getting worse by the day. It's not because of Belle. After more research on the methotrexate, I learned it can cause chronic pink eye and exhaustion of this magnitude, among some other problems I'm having.

Thanks to the methotrexate I can walk and am relatively pain free, but I'm down to not functioning. I go back to the rhuemy in early Dec., and we'll see if we can work out something else. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm afraid. I have to be able to walk, but I also have to have the energy to walk somewhere. Also, I'm afraid it's ruining my eyes. I've been fighting the infection for what, two or three months now? It's in both eyes again.

Still, I have so much for which to be thankful. Belle is a big part of it, but so are each of you. I love you.

Weather is changing and I'm flaring.

Kiya · Nov 24, 2016, 01:47 AM

Yep. I am also in a full year… Could be the weather, the stress, the holiday, or the food. Or all of it LOL. Anyway wishing everyone the best and for those who are involved in the holiday tomorrow I wish you all good luck; Mayor stresses be small and you were good times be better. That sounds really cheesy but that's the best I can come up with right now rofl 😂

I am right with you guys

Well we made it it was the worst flight of my life. Sooooo much turbulence that I ended up throwing up in the bathroom. Plus there was about 5 screaming kids the whole trip. Unreal. Then trying to get our rental car was a hassle. By the time we got to the hotel my body was screaming. My uncle snapped at me and I snapped right back. He said he was done with everything. 30 minutes later he came over and hugged me.

I can't do much more travel my body hurts like you would not believe. I just want to curl up and cry.

January · Nov 26, 2016, 05:26 PM

Everyone please check in as soon as you can and let us know how you're doing.

We are supposed to have my family's Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow at my brother's house, but I've broken out in those huge hives again and I'm not sure I can stand the pain for that long. We'll see.

cakeladie · Nov 26, 2016, 09:47 PM

Jan try and take it east and try not to stress. I am in so much pain I could cry. I will need a vacation from my vacation if that makes sense.
Places that I did not know could hurt are hurting.

For those who are wondering my daughter is back home but she
Teaches a dog training class and since she left her boyfriend he will not let her let her have their dog. So she went out looking for a puppy and my husband and allowed her to bring in a puppy into our home. He believes that allowing her to have the puppy in the house will keep her away from her abusive boyfriend. All of this happened the day before we flew out. It's a big mess and I'm going to walk into a big mess when we get back from our trip

Sorry I know this is not the thread I should be writing this in but you guys understand how I am feeling and some of you understand what I'm going through with my daughter and I just don't know where to turn to you anymore

Take care everyone

Hugs

January · Nov 27, 2016, 02:32 PM

Cake, please keep telling us what is happening with your daughter. I'm so glad she's home.

My brother is mad at me because I couldn't get dressed to go to the dinner today.

Love to all.

Kiya · Nov 28, 2016, 07:15 AM

What I get for using the speech function. "Year"
Was supposed to be "flair" and "Mayor" of course was "may your"...

((((( hugs all )))))
Sorry y'all are hurting so badly

Got thru thanksgiving x2, driving through some pretty heavy rain and standing water on the freeway, across state lines @_@ gnarly, dude! Surf's up!

Meet *another* new therapist tomorrow. How many times have I said that now? 20? I've lost track.
A coughing fit woke me over an hour ago and I can't get back to sleep. It's 4:18am.
Part of my mind went back to post op 3 years ago and worrying about my upcoming surgery Jan 18.
Woah, I just realized the "growling" sound I often hear is my neighbor snoring

These long dark nights are hitting me harder than usual- maybe because I'm upstairs now and can see the dark? Downstairs I couldn't see anything beyond the fence so I was more active.
It's been dark 12 hours now and we have another 4 to go... (ish)
I should do something... Either get up or take an Ativan to try for more sleep. Man he snores loud!!! Unreal.
Ok all, take good care!!!
Hugs!!!

January · Nov 28, 2016, 09:59 PM

Kiya, who snores loud? I missed something.

My SIL brought me some leftovers today! I was so glad. I'll have good food for a couple days. My SIL is an excellent cook. I am mediocre because it's hard to cook for just one person.

I discovered Belle is nuts about turkey. She refused to eat her regular food and begged for turkey instead. Who knew?

Sleep well, everyone.

Kiya · Nov 29, 2016, 01:36 AM

Body reacting strongly to stress. Painful convo with my toxic mom tonight. Heart "hurts", bones hurt. Fatigued and sad even as I held my boundaries, my space, and tried to be kind but honest. She's still in victim mode and I know there's nothing I can do about that; that's hers to work on. Noticing my clenched gut and muscles, working thru the physical and mental pain.

Gus1234U · Nov 29, 2016, 08:33 AM

gosh, i just realized how long it's been since i visited with y'all~~
i gave myself a good dose of food poisoning for T-day (fish, of all things)... and then i did 11 loads of laundry and vacuumed,,, so it's been a ME ME ME week~!

hope you all recover from this holiday before the next one strikes~!

lizardlady · Nov 29, 2016, 05:21 PM

I had a nice day for Turkey Day. Friends invited me to dinner at their house. It was a nice quiet time with people I enjoy being with.

Fibro is, well fibro. Doesn't help that I had a raging case of insomnia Sunday night. I got about 45 minutes of sleep the whole night. Then had to get up and go to work Monday. Got about 10 hours sleep last night. Hope to grab a similar amount tonight.

January · Nov 30, 2016, 03:16 PM

Thank you Gus for the pretty picture!

I hope you are feeling much better! Food poisoning is so bad....

Kiya, I hope you are feeling much better after your talk with your Mom. I had nightmares of mine coming back alive. I'll just leave it at that.

Liz, I hope you get some more good sleep. Insomnia stinks!

I didn't get the MRI today. I was sick all night and I still have the blisters. I rescheduled for Tues. Surely the blisters will be better by then. I'm out of a couple meds, but too sick to go get them. It won't hurt me to go a few days without them.

I hope all of you are safe and warm. Love to all.

cakeladie · Dec 01, 2016, 12:30 AM

I am here just having isuees

But I thinking of you guys every day and I pray for you guys every day
