Quote of the Day
August 1, 2008
Did I mention I have insomnia about 3 nights out of the week? No... well that should explain all of my late night posts. At 41, I think I'm too young to have as many medical issues as I do, but that seems to be my life. Fibromyalgia, migraines, asthma, and insomnia are my top four. There seems to be a pill for everything these days. Not that I'm complaining. I couldn't function without my fibro meds. They numb the pain enough to move through the day. Sometimes I find myself faking that I'm okay, ignoring the aches and pains. Fibromyalgia is so hard for people who don't have it to understand. It isn't a visual condition, so people can't see that you're hurting. Inside, those that suffer from Fibromyalgia, feel like they have the flu. Only it's a 24 hour/365 days a year flu. The kind with body aches, soreness, lack of energy, and just feeling run down and exhausted all the time. There are many nights that I come home from work, knowing that I am blessed to at least be able to get UP and work, that I crash as soon as I get home. For me, the leg and hip pains are the worst, but I still feel it in my arms and back; actually, just about everywhere. I try to keep a positive attitude. I'm sure things could be worse. Just need to find the bright side and keep on moving.
