This is not fibro related, but I need to whine about health stuff...
Still struggling with respiratory bug. Today is first day on meds. First day of meds kicks my butt. I think it's my body and the meds fighting the infection, but it makes me feel even worse. I feel like death on a stick. Meds include steroids which increase appetite in other people. It kills what little appetite I have.  To top things off I think this is moving into my chest. Time to break out the nebulizer. Okay, that's enough whining! I just had to add this because it's funny. Antibiotic is labeled one at breakfast, one at bedtime. "Do not lay down for 30 minutes after taking"  Do they think people sleep standing up !?!Last edited by lizardlady; Jan 26, 2022 at 12:11 PM. |

Our weather fluctuated over the last few days. I used to like cold weather however now it triggers my Fibromyalgia.
I can’t remember if I mentioned purchasing a foot massager. It really helps with tender points. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Friends, I'm not posting much at the moment. I feel like poo which makes me cranky. So I'm lurking for a bit. I have no patience for what seems to me whiney, crybaby behavior. There are times I just want to scream at people. Hence, not posting much. |

Still struggling with the sinus infection. Called Teledoc Thursday. She ordered me stronger antibiotics and stuff for my asthma. Started the new stuff last night. We'll see how it goes.
I made the mistake of telling the Queen B about still being sick. Asked if I might be able to take breaks during the day. She lived up to her nickname. Basically told me I needed to do my job. Gawd I miss my old boss. He would've told me to do the best I could, but take care of myself. |

 Ups and downs Downs I was symptomatic for three weeks. Chronic Illnesses flare up. I attended three medical appointments last week… my primary care, endocrinologist and immunologist. I started another medication to control Hashimotos. Fibromyalgia I experienced a week of increased Fibromyalgia pain. I usually have a lot of pain in my legs, arms and tender points in my feet. I have an appointment in two weeks with my Rheumatologist. Depression My depression is usually triggered by my chronic illnesses. I definitely have days I’m so frustrated with being symptomatic. I get upset about having a crapload of medical bills…..so much is not covered by insurance. I’ve applied for Medicaid multiple times and apparently I’m not poor, poor. I keep getting denied. Venting In a society that attempts to push toxic positivity on womxn, I’m glad groups and forums exist. It helps to clear my head and frustrations. It’s a process to brainstorm and figure out solutions. I really do get exhausted from chronic illnesses, health insurance bs, medical bills and out-of- pocket expenses not covered by health insurance. It was hard receiving phone calls, letters and e-mails about multiple medical bills. They do not care if you make payments. Most hospitals don’t seem to relate to people who are on a fixed income and want medical bills paid off in 3-4 payments. They definitely fail to comprehend a lot of people with medical bills have several medical bills. I had medical bills sent to collections while I was making payments. I noticed that one hospital listed the same medical bill twice. I did contact the credit bureaus. Ups I decided to space my medical appointments out more. I had appointments with specialists weekly and every two weeks. I started making detailed notes to get the most out of my appointments and having my provider check that I have refills. When I’m symptomatic I sleep a lot. I took naps and went to bed a lot earlier than usual. I ate a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits. I enjoy functional paper planning and attending virtual workshops. I use money management sheets to track my medical bills and the payments I make. I include the account numbers. I pick workshops that interest me and align with the personal growth that I seek. I popped in last week the last 30 minutes for two workshops (Monday and Thursday). Friday I participated in a full healing  *🩹 gathering that lasted about 45 minutes. I’m still going to bed early. My teenager school district is out of school this week. Parent Teacher conference is next week. I’m excited that Feb 28th is Rare Disease Day. I have several autoimmune diseases but also have two rare diseases.

I'm over the Medical Industrial Complex!
I want to place a HUGE Tattoo across my chest that says ... "HEAL ME AT YOUR OWN EXPENSE! I REFUSE TO ACCEPT PFINANCIAL RESPONSIBLITY PFOR ANY & ALL MEDICAL CARE!". Maybe if they see that, they'll just let me expire on the table and be done with it. Pfat lot of good their mistakes & pfailures have done me anyhow.
