Ugh...

Sorry, that's all I got right now...

Closing Out the School Year

Yes, I love my job. However...

Some aspects of this year have been highly challenging. I had three of those challenges hit me on the same day, and it was too much. My immune system plummeted. In jumped the creeping crud. That was two weeks ago, and I still have not gotten over it. 

And, yes, creeping crud affects Fibro. The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome kicks into overdrive. The seizures are more painful. The mystery pains mix in with the creeping crud pains, and I can't tell which is what.

So now I get to whine and mope and complain about it! Wheeeee! 

Okay, that was good. Now back to stiff-upper-lip land.

And then...

Hoo, boy...

This evening. Nerves on fire. Well, not exactly, but I'm not sure how to describe these. Maybe mini-lightning bolts going off inside my bones? Definitely heat, definitely sudden. Anywhere from 3 to 15 inches long, fairly narrow. Wrists and legs/feet. Lasting anywhere from 10 seconds to several minutes. 3-1/2 hours so far, and no sign of them going away. 

We are not amused. Someone come up with a joke about this, please!

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way From the Forum...

Okay, so I flew to a conference this past weekend -- wonderful experience. But of course, flying always exacerbates seizures. Had one doozy and several small ones on the way down, which really is not bad. And then, on the flight back? None. None. So weird. None. No complaint, of course, but it was strange...

Did have a pretty good one that night, but still, none on the plane!

Earthquake!

6am, Sunday morning, I was not awake yet, but that quake woke me up pretty quickly. And I look over, and Kodiak is sound asleep. I go on Facebook expecting to see posts... nothing. And, yeah, it's just me and one of my seizure things... and I was so sure...

How is it Possible...

Remember those machines from the fifties or sixties that had a big belt that vibrated, you put it around you and lost weight? Well, I've been vibrating at least that hard for the last twenty minutes solid... shouldn't I have lost an inch or two around the waist?

Still Healing/Still Not Healing

Well, the ribs are healing, slowly.

Well, the fibro is still fibro.

Life.
