Life In General

Yesterday was one of those days where the fibromyalgia controlled my every move.  Mornings are really painful.  The first thing I do is head straight to my medicine.  There’s nothing else on my mind but to take my morning dose.  Once I’ve taken it, I have to lay or sit until the meds kick in.  But yesterday was different.  After taking my morning dose, it didn’t relieve the pain enough to where I could function.  I walked slower, my body throbbed from head to toe.  I knew right then it was going to be a rough day.  The weather was cloudy and it looked like rain.  That was the answer.  My muscles act like a barometer.  The same feeling if you have arthritis.  Pain, throbbing, burning, just completely uncomfortable within my own skin.  My lunch time dose came early, I just couldn’t handle the pain.  That helped some but not enough.  Days like this I’m so restless, trying my best to find a place where I can be comfortable.  The rest of the day was the same and into the night.  I hoped that the skys would open up and just storm, just to relieve the pressure.  But it didn’t.  By 2 a.m. I gave up and went to sleep hoping tomorrow would be better.
