Our Fibromyalgia Blog Book (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/1030039-Our-Fibromyalgia-Blog-Book/printit/1 Yep, I was reminded of Fibro's use of chronic fatigue. This morning I slept in till about 9:30, and that felt great. I got online about 12:30. By 1:30 I'd dozed off a couple times, and decided if that was going to happen I'd better lay down. I did, and woke up an hour and 15 minutes later. Now I fully understand how it could put Kenzie to sleep in the...[Read Full Post] Sat, 07 Feb 2009 19:52:00 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/634583 Yep, you read it right. A couple months ago or so, when it was still fairly mild outside, I took our bigger, but younger (about a year old) dog, Zeus, out the front door to do his usual business. Problem was, he spotted our very friendly neighbor, Ryan. Those two had really gotten to be good friends. So, when Zeus saw Ryan out by the sidewalk at the corner of his d...[Read Full Post] Sun, 14 Dec 2008 00:53:54 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/624192 You read it right. This past Thursday and Friday have been the two worst Fibro days I've had since knowing I had it to begin with. And trust me - that was a long time ago - about 40 years, give or take a couple. Both days I had pain from the moment I got up in at least one place, most often more than two. And, both days, it got worse as the day progressed, to ...[Read Full Post] Sat, 15 Nov 2008 14:17:59 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/618666 When I got on here just now to make this entry, I noticed how appropriate my wife [Link To User kenzie] 's costumicon is for the day I've had. I got up about 9:30, after going to bed about midnight. That's around 9 1/2 hours of sleep. I feel great after a sleep like that, even if it is momentarily interrupted when she comes to bed about 1:3...[Read Full Post] Sat, 18 Oct 2008 17:44:36 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/613520 Yep, a see-saw. After that extra-painful 48 hours or so, the most recent 48 hours have been considerably more pain free. Just my back pain moving around, a small occasional headache, and my legs once in a while. Much better than the preceding painful period. Praise the Lord! Hopefully, that will continue. But, as always, it's in His hands, and I will...[Read Full Post] Fri, 22 Aug 2008 18:18:40 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/603248 Hello again, all! The last 48 hours or so have been more painful than in the recent past, but I also discovered that Kenzie and I seem to be much better off than some of those with Fibro. The last couple days, I've had more first-hand experience with what Kenzie means about "hurting all over". My elbows, my legs, my left sacroilliac joint, a...[Read Full Post] Sat, 16 Aug 2008 16:32:06 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/602277 Remember that irritated sacroilliac joint I had to deal with using the cane a few weeks back? Well, it looks like it's back in a different, and thankfully more manageable form: as the newest "member" on my list of Fibro pains. Yep, over the past week or so, it's been coming and going all over again. Shorter stints, milder in intensity, ...[Read Full Post] Sat, 05 Jul 2008 00:08:13 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/594674 Those of us with Fibro never know when a pain will start, where it will hit, how long it will last, OR, what will cause it. Often, we never know the causes, only the surprise pain. But, there are also times when we can predict a strong likelihood that we'll get a pain, and sometimes, where. In my case, the latest one of those came when I went to take our biggest dog, Z...[Read Full Post] Wed, 11 Jun 2008 18:57:27 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/590377 The question mark in the title is because I think that's what I have had today but I'm not sure I'm ready to concede that; not sure I want to buy into that idea. But, that doesn't change what happened. With the imminent threat of "scattered showers" after rain during a number of days this past week, I figured I'd better get t...[Read Full Post] Sat, 17 May 2008 19:56:37 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/585616 Yep, you read that right. I THINK I have a new pain that's going to be part of my ongoing group of them - the ones that take turns bugging me. It's a milder form of that sacroiliac joint pain. It's not sharp enough to cripple me like it was originally, just enough to be a nuisance when it appears, and also send a shot of pain down the front o...[Read Full Post] Sun, 11 May 2008 14:48:29 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/584543
