This blog is about FibroMyalgia, and the particularly strange ways it affects my life. Although it can be a royal pain (oh, no, puns already?), Fibro can also be pretty interesting. And yes, I feel strongly that a sense of humor is the best medicine, particularly in my case. So, come along for the ride, I'll post some of the more interesting neural miscommunications as they come up. If I don't post for a while, maybe I'm feeling normal -- whatever that is...

Thursday Night/Friday Morning...
Not a fun post. Not even sure why I'm including this one, but somehow feel like I'm supposed to. Maybe it's going to mean something to someone.
My seizure/tremor things, I'm used to them. I tend to have them maybe 8-15 times per day. A rough day might have as many as 25, but at most three of those are big. And from warning to recovery is usually no more than 3-4 minutes -- the actual seizing is under 45 seconds most of the time. Major long ones can last 2-3 minutes. Really no biggie any more, it's just a part of my life. Most people have no idea I'm having them.
Well, Thursday night about 10:30, one hit without warning, which is actually pretty unusual. That went on for about ten minutes. About twenty seconds later, another one hit... then another... If I was getting warnings, they were during the previous ones. This kept going until some time after 1:00am. I have never experienced anything like that. I was really sore for the next day, and am still feeling it to some degree.
I'm happy to say all of my events since then have been of the normal kind. I'll be trying to go see my healthcare practitioner Monday. If there's any news, I'll post it here too...
