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...

Been a While...
Sorry... not so much new, just a lot of the same old... Well, outside of fibro-land, some great things. The body... meh. But the usual meh!

A Funny One, I Promise!
I had one of the funniest Fibro-Fog episodes in recent memory last week, and forgot to post it. No, that's not the Fibro-Fog...
I was getting dressed to meet a couple of friends for brunch. I was standing there in front of my closet, holding the shirt I had decided to wear. I knew that it was supposed to go on my body, but could not for the life of me remember how it was supposed to get there. I looked at it from several angles, but nothing made sense. Never fear, within three minutes I figured it out!

One of THOSE Nights...
It's a very strange sensation, and a tough one to get used to, but I think I am finally there. I never really know how to describe it either, but I'll try. That's what this blog thing is for, right?
Sometimes -- not often, thank goodness -- I simply feel like I am in the process of dying. I feel my internal organs shutting down and decaying, really fast. At least, I would assume it's fast, since it generally does not last more than six or so hours.The brain doesn't usually do the shut down part, just the decay part. The muscles seem to turn to concrete, like they could never flex again. Everything inside is rotting away.
And the really weird part? I'm not worried in the least. This is one that has scared me every time, for years. Now it's just a major bother. And, I think it's fair to say, mighty uncomfortable. But I think I've finally gotten to the point where this one does not leave me doubting that I will get better anymore. And that's a good thing.
Of course, if I could cease experiencing it all together, that would be better, but I guess that is asking for too much!

I Apologize!
If any of you thought that was a long earthquake with several tremors on either side, sorry! It was just one of the biggest sets of seizures I've ever had. I was actually wondering if I was shaking the whole house -- and my house is built really well.
Two videos on a shelf about five feet from me fell sideways -- not off the shelf, just leaning against the next shelving unit -- but that appears to be the extent of the Jack-quake's 'damage', thank goodness!

Improvements?
Not sure...
Having some bad days, as usual, but having a few that are almost not bad. Still plenty of chronic fatigue times, and plenty of broken bones, but some days when they are minimal. I'm not used to minimal.
Is it a coincidence that work is going really well?

Mixed Up Day...
Today I could not regulate my temperature at all. That and some pain was about it.
Tonight, seizure things and muscle cramps -- both of which can make sleep interesting.
We shall see what tomorrow brings...

A Fair Trade?
Today has been (and continues to be) interesting.
I slept better yesterday afternoon and last night than I have in a week. and the pain levels have been pretty low -- and virtually no chronic fatigue syndrome effects! However, today has been a major one for tremor/seizure things.
I think I can deal with this! Now I just need to know how to keep it going...
