Oh just lovin this fibro! Could we make a song out of that? Don't you just love the days when no matter how hard you have tried and how good you have felt, fibro jumps up in front of you and says, 'slow down' and if you don't listen it is like hitting a wall.
Truthfully I have been listening to my fibro, but I guess it didn't like how good I was feeling. Goldenwings warned me I could go down fast. I knew she was right but I sure was enjoying the good times.
Today I will rest and do the small not so stressful things. We have rainy weather here so it is a good day to stay in and curl up with a good book.
Blue how was your pt? How are you feeling? Getting better I hope. Are you back to wood carving yet?
Goldenwings how is compassionman doing on the new med and how are your fairing with the fibro? I know it was beginning to party at your expense, hope you are doing better.

Hi Glojer,
Long time, no post from me.
Sorry to hear that you are not feeling to well. It is no wonder after all you have been through. Your body is probably saying "Hey, I need some TLC".
Sitting and reading a book could not be a better prescription for you. I love it when it is raining and all you hear are the raindrops and it is just you and your book. You sound like me, I also love to read. It is one thing that I can feel my body relaxing with.
It has been so long since I have done much posting. It feels good. I can finally sit at the computer or sit for that matter. It is a long story of it being to painfull to sit on my bum. It was even hard to lay down. There was a while where I couldn't wear pants. Swingman just called me "Breezy". :D
We are having rainy weather here also, cold and windy. I love it but as everyone with Fibro knows, our bodies do not. I am happy to report that my Fibro hasn't been too bad :)
Tomorrow, another dental visit, this one is a two hour session. My dentist told me that I will be in his chair for at least 15 hours all together. :eek: I am just trying to tell myself that it has to be done and "this too shall pass". Once I get these pearly whites fixed I will not see a dental chair except for a cleaning. I got one of those sonic care brushes and it is wonderful. Everytime I use it I feel as if I just had my teeth cleaned. It is still a mystery as to how I went from no cavities in July to 12 cavities, big ones and one broken tooth in Feb. :confused:
Enjoy your day. Take care of yourself.
Hope everyone is having a good day.
Peace and love, Hangin

Hi Hangin, so glad to hear from you. I do remember something about a bad bum from a long time ago. I am so glad you are doing better. I will be doing the dental thing myself in a few months. Right now we are getting bravemans teeth fixed, the chemo and dry mouth really did a job on his teeth. Then I will make the dreaded appointment, I really don't like the dentist chair only because it causes me so much upper back pain. I tense up too much.
Braveman is feeling better now and I am glad about that.....I really am, but he is starting to drive me a little crazy. Now that he is feeling better, he is doing things like rearrangeing the pictures on the family room walls and moving the knick knacks that are setting around. It is just because he feels good again and wants to do something but is not quite up to tackling a big job soooooo......he's moving things around! That's OK they are all sports items and pictures and he is very proud of them but.......I don't like the new arrangement. I also don't like walking in a room in my house and thinking what's wrong with this room and finally realizing what it was....giggle! I'm really just happy he is feeling better and wants to do these things.
Although the odd way he has the pictures and the fish are a little stressful I will just tell my fibro to cool it cause this is a good thing! I am glad to hear you are doing better, hope you can keep your fibro at bay for a while.
Loving reading those books!

hi glojer,
ah, the wall. hello wall! kerbam!! we all hit it. you were overdue kiddo. way overdue so count your luckies.
so, honey is rearranging your carefully balanced sactuary. we women are so funny about where everything goes. i bet fibro is having a hayday with this. i can hear it now . . . oh, just let me put it right, please please please. giggle.
part of the cycle you two have been in has had you in absolute control of most everything. now he wants to feel some measure of control in his life. this is one of the little ways it starts. he is finding his balance again. his power again. chances are he will move it all again, maybe close to back where it was. he is nesting. he is returning to the land of the living after being in limbo for a long time.
oh hangin, your poor bum. of all the things that can hurt, that one you cannot reach down and rub in public. so glad you are back. the dentist, yipes. you know my teeth did the same thing. 15 root canals in 3 years and i lost count of the fillings. one more next month. perhaps one day we will read a study on this and say, ah ha!
i sure will be sending you tons and tons of energy, sis.
how am i? actually i am doing very well. tiny bits of fibro, no big deal. p.t. is very hard and i laugh alot at the right side of my body. falling down is fun! i have the mri this morning and find out tuesday. if they find anything big they will keep me at hospital and call my doc. i doubt that will happen. in fact i know it won't. i am coming back so fast i am amazing all my helpers. i am a woman and i can do anything! well, except grow wings and fly, but i am working on that one!
peace and hugs,

Blue you ARE back, I laughed all the way through your post. Yes braveman is returning to the land of the living, I hope he decides to stain the deck by spring after he rearranges everything in the house. I am so happy and thankful to see him starting to bloom again it is alright with me whatever he wants to move (I can always move it back)....giggle!
You are so right, kerbam, when you hit. Yes I have counted my luckies in so many ways and if this is as bad as it gets, I will count them again. I have to thank you again for the daytime baclofen advice it has really helped with some of these days. I just took it like the doc said and didn't expand my thought horizons on it.
I am so glad you are doing well, and when you are falling kiddo just imagine my arms outstretched to catch you. You sound pretty positive the MRI will be good and that is a very good sign. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see you flapping those wings and flying over my house some day.
I love ya blue, only you could make me laugh by giving me the thought about poor hangin unable to rub her sore bum in public.....you crack me up!
Laughter chases all the 'icky' fibro away so we all need to laugh alot and often. Hope you don't mind a chuckle about your sore bum hangin, I really do feel for you.
Peace and pain free days

morning glojer,
laughter. champagne bubbles chasing all the blues away. not this blue tho.
let me tell you a story. yesteday i had my mri, right? well in all the hustle to get out the door i took my night meds instead of morning ones. this included ambien, hello! i gotta drive. realized my error, too late. was it stroke or fibro fog? i am thinking both. i keep my meds in little weekly containers, blue for night and another color for day. those walls we hit are not just physical they are mental too. i hit a big one yesterday.
i floated/slept, duh, thru the mri. only aware of bits of it. knew what was happening and just let it. for the moment i was safe in a cigar tube, giggle.
drove myself home thinking about the post on people driving on ambien. will i be a statistic? that kept my eyes open. i drove slow and was protected by a window of no cars in front or behind me. got home and fell on my face. cancelled p.t. and baked cookies instead while watching the snow fall.
i decided to turn my royal screw up into a lovely day and it worked. i slept like a baby last night. well, gee, i wonder why???
by the way i was so relaxed yesterday. like jello and mush with half a brain.
peace and giggles,
bluelakelady
ps. you bet i am back! with bells on!

Oh my gosh blue! I would not be able to drive if I took the ambien, seriously it sends me to drop off city in a flash! I am offering lots of thanks to the powers that be for getting you home safe. But what a way to spend an MRI, that was perfect! Did anyone know you had taken ambien before coming in? You know that is what braveman did his second day of chemo, took my ambien by mistake instead of his nausea pill, he didn't bother to read the label on the bottle (that would have meant putting on the glasses he should wear all the time) and boy I thought I wouldn't get him inside and upstairs for chemo before he fell asleep.
I hear you when it comes to hitting mental walls as well as physical, yes probably a little of both for you...stroke and fibro fog. I am so glad you had a good nights sleep, that should help you. I just don't know how you kept functioning after taking an ambien. I guess I have never had to do anything but lay down and fall asleep.
That wall keeps coming earlier everyday for me, but I get up and try to do bits and pieces and then rest and do a little more. Sounds like you did make a lovely day of it, with the cookie baking and resting and ......watching the snow fall.....? We had shorts and T-shirt weather here today, it was nice but we may have to turn the air conditioning on we are going to get heavy rain tonight. It is a little early for the muggy humidity.
So glad you are safe and sound. I'm sure it is just a matter of time before I take the wrong thing at the wrong time. Oh wait I have already done that, took my thyroid pill at night and then again the next morning, worried I was going to be wired. Yes we all have the FOG!
Love
