Great News

My daughter went to the Fibro Center today. She does not have Fibro, and I am so thrilled. I was so worried about her having to deal with this. She did get a bunch of blood taken to see exactly what is going on, but it will be a month before that gets back. But, she thinks her adrenal system is sluggish. That's fixable!

The Short of It

2/14 Had naps all week and fell asleep early- I do think stress has exacerbated my symptoms a lot. I just got my MA exam study questions this week.
2/10 LONG day of errands. In agony when I got home like at 2pm. I slept for a couple of hours and felt better.
2/7 I went to sleep at 9 but then I woke up at midnight and never went back to sleep :(. My hands are awful today.
2/6 My lower back was pretty bad today- all day. I'm in a lot of pain tonight and hope my pill will kick in so I can sleep.
2/5 I was able to take Brooklyn to school and am not terribly sore today- just a bit.
2/4 I was super sore again this morning. I couldn't take Brooklyn to school, and I was almost late to teaching. The rest of the day so far isn't too bad. I'm just a little more tired than I would care to be.
2/3 I woke up super sore as if I exercised too much yesterday, but I didn't. It lasted all day. Not sure why. It got a little better toward the end of the day; I was afraid that I am starting a new bad cycle. But, I did run three errands today without crashing, so maybe I'm being jumpy.
1/30 Restless night but surprisingly effective day. I ran up and down stairs and zipped all over on campus without wearing myself out. I taught, did a imovie workshop, worked at eCreate, picked up kids and dropped one off. I didn't need a Tramadol when I got home and didn't fall asleep right away! Awesome.
1/29 I woke up in agony- don't know why. I couldn't even get up to take meds; gratefully, Darin noticed and helped me. I did do Wii Fit yesterday, but I don't think that's related.
1/28 Still suffering from the temperature drop and moisture. Meds aren't quite getting rid of it, but I can stil function.
1/24 The temp dropped from 69 to 31 in one day. I haven't gone outside, but everything hurts. My body does not like abrupt weather changes.
1/23 I had messed up my pills a couple of days, missing them last week. It seemed to have a big effect. Last 3 days I'm tired but can get up and function. Need tramadol once or twice a day but it completely takes care of pain.
1/20 Insomnia last night; really fuzzy this morning and hard to wake up, but I was still up by 10. Really sore back and arms when I got mom home from the hospital, but still functioning.
1/19 2 really good active days. Still needed mobic and tramadol but it wasn't too bad! (church & hospital w/mom days)
1/17 Severe PMS moodiness and terrible crippling cramps. Don't know if that'll improve someday but hope so.
1/15 Slept in but felt ok in afternoon. Even did 15 min on Wii Fit.
1/13 I didn't hurt much today except in my left knee (new pain); I was tired but managed grocery shopping and a list for the week.
1/12 Every inch of me aches. Kept me up most of the night.
1/11 migraine all night and into the afternoon
1/8 slept normal hours finally; took Beam to school. Left hand is killing me, even on meds; still stiff and sore.
1/7 Went to bed at 1 and woke up at 1 this afternoon (only because of the tornado siren test, though). I'm going to take tylenol pm tonight to try to get myself regulated.
1/6 I woke up at midnight and I'm still up at 3 with a bad headache. I call this type of headache a "toxic headache".
1/5 I got up to take Brooklyn to school- miracle- but then went back to bed until 2, darn it, and was exhausted by 9:30
1/3 went to bed last night at about 12:30 am, and then slept until 3 pm! I couldn't believe it. I woke up super stiff and fatigued (somehow). Brain fog day. It's 10:30pm now, and I'm exhausted.
1/2 sore in lower-back, neck, shoulders, fatigue, but handled the long travel day considering
1/1 stayed up until 1 am by accident (lots of difficulty falling asleep early lately); woke up at noon stiff and sore but better than yesterday.
12/30 same, plus first dose of pain meds didn't help at all (not normal); hands were killing me
12/29 stiff and sore all over; slept until afternoon
12/28 No changes; upped dose to 600mg, 2x/ day
12/23 Started Guai 300mg, 2x/ day
1/12 Every inch of me aches. Kept me up most of the night.
1/23 I had messed up my pills a couple of days, missing them last week. It seemed to have a big effect. Last 3 days I'm tired but can get up and function. Need tramadol once or twice a day but it completely takes care of pain.
