I’ll just bet that title got a lot of attention.
The other day I noted that I had taken a bit of a detour and that was one reason I hadn’t posted for a bit. I would like to be able to blame that detour on fibro fog or senility (I am, after all, closing in [...]

Mother’s Day Fiasco

I have two children, so I qualify to celebrate Mother’s Day. But most recent years, I’ve celebrated quietly with my husband.
I have a daughter who will be 30 in a month and a son who is 27. My son, who has Asperger’s Syndrome, still lives at home – though we are working on that with [...]
Back on the Treadmill – Literally!

I haven’t written in a bit (don’t you love my talent for understatement) because I was on the hamster wheel of medical tests. I almost envy people who have a specific illness – they have a crisis, they get tested and the doctors discover what caused the crisis, they are treated and things return to [...]
Never Saw This One Coming!

I’ve coped with fibromyalgia for over 40 years, so I have learned a few things about it. I’ve also worried that, what with having pain all the time, if there was ever a pain that was serious (in origin, that is), that I might not know the difference. It didn’t really occur to me – [...]
Still here after all this time

I can’t believe how long it’s been since I last posted. Nearly 2 months! Yes, it’s been a busy time with vacations and holidays. But I think the biggest reason for the break is that I’ve been fighting a bit of depression. I know that’s true now and I suspect it started back in November, [...]
Holy Moly! Where have I been?!?

Who knew estrogen was SO important to my body? I knew it helped, but I didn’t know that going without it would disrupt so much of my life.
Estrogen – hormone replacement therapy – has been through a roller coaster of different scientific tests and medical advise to women. At one time, the theory was that every [...]
Headaches

How time flies when you’re having headaches! I hadn’t realized it was 6 days since I’d posted. Shame on me!
Of course, that got me thinking about why it had been that long. I realized it was due to a number of different headaches.
First, of course, was the headache that came with the fibro flare-up. It [...]
I Broke 220!

I was on a plateau. If I had been on vacation and was out west, that might have been good. But I was here at home in Massachusetts. If you know anything about US geography (I realize they don’t teach it much in school anymore), you know there are no plateaus in Massachusetts.
Except for the [...]

If wishes were horses, then beggars could ride. I don’t know the origin of that saying, though it was obviously prior to the age of autos. I do know that it is absolutely true.
If it only took wishes, I would have had no pain from my fibromyalgia today. The day itself was beautiful – sunny, [...]
A Short Day on the Road

Today was a short driving day and my energy level reflects that tonight. I feel much better than I have been.
We left Staunton, VA about 9 AM. It was still a bit cloudy, but there was no rain. There was wind! We decided to travel the “low road” for a while. My husband set us [...]
