I'm feeling a lot of things, and I haven't really given myself the chance to address them. I'm feeling lonely... In that I feel far away from others, as if there's a long tunnel between myself and them with a thick invisible wall in the middle. I'm feeling terrified. I'm getting more and...

Yeah, the chronic pain is a real bummer. I often can't think straight because of how horrible I feel most of the time. I really hope your daughter finds ways to cope with Fibromyalgia so that she can better enjoy life. :) As of now, I think the diagnosis is going to be Motor-Sensory Peripheral...

I haven't posted in a while. A lot has happened since March. So, this might be pretty long... I mentioned CFS before, it turns out it's not that. I still suffer from severe fatigue, though I also gradually developed more muscle weakness and pain as well as spreading tingling and numbness in my...

Turns out Fibromyalgia was a misdiagnosis and something more serious is going on... I've been admitted to a hospital for supervision because I became so weak that I couldn't walk or stand on my own. Based on blood tests and physical exams it seems like I could have an autoimmune disease that's...

If anyone is at all interested in what came of this, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia this week. :(

Hahaha, I actually take a gummy multivitamin, and when I'm feeling really awful I also take a C, zinc, echinacea gummy. I can't stand the tablets because they all smell weird and taste awful when I don't get them down the first time. The only downside about gummy vitamins is that I just want to...

I cycle to and from work, and it usually makes me worse. Anything more than that (such as the bouldering I did recently) makes me barely able to get out of bed the following day. :( I'm waiting for the sleep center I'll be going to to call me for scheduling. Sleep apnea seems unlikely as I...

I wish that was the cause. Thanks for the suggestion though. I take a vitamin D supplement daily because I thought it might help (I've been taking it for 4 months). I had my blood tested for several deficiencies and everything is in the upper half of the normal range.

I made some bath salts and took two baths today. I only made a single jar, but it's so nice. It's made with Epsom salts (with milk and honey because the store was out of the plain), green tea, chamomile tea, lavender, a little sleepytime tea, sea salt, and coconut oil. It smells fantastic and...

I started at my new job about a month ago, and I've already called out twice because of fatigue, and gone in a couple hours late 3 times because it took me more than 3 hours to just get out of bed. I'm having trouble eating because I'm just too tired to throw something together before and after...

I don't mind at all. By the time I wrote that I had already gotten some oral antibiotics. I've been able to keep those down, so I don't think I'll need IV. Feeling a bit better now, though the side effects are making it hard to tell. Thanks for the concern. :)

I'm feeling hopeless and scared. Hopeless because I can't seem to stay illness and infection free for more than a couple months. I have a kidney infection right now that hurts so much, it makes me miserable. I had to leave work on Friday because it hit me so hard -- severe pain, chills, fever...

Perfect timing for tension relief! I got an email from my dad today. We talk semi-regularly because the two of us are very forgetful. His job often gets busy, so he can't always get around to my emails right away and then forgets. I do the exact same thing, so it's not something I take...

I'm going to go see my dad for his 50th birthday! :) It's not for another 3 and a half months, but because we're separated by the Atlantic ocean, we have to plan things ahead of time. We spent Xmas 2012 together, which was the first time we'd seen each other in 13 years, so I'm always very...

Things are both better and worse. I'm working my dream job -- mechanic at a bicycle shop. It's a great place, everyone there is very laid back, and there's no attendance policy (takes a load off my shoulders, though being late means I have to buy treats for the shop). I'm also going to start...

Yeah, it's definitely been the hardest for me as well... I've had to cut out many people, and the only people I truly feel guilty about are my sisters. I took care of them when I was younger, since my mother couldn't, so I've always felt responsible for their well being even when it's out of my...

I said no and didn't push my limits. I'm also going to take a nap.

I got myself a yoga mat today and started doing yoga again. I'm hopeful that it'll help my back, shoulders, and tennis elbow.

Mechanical

Oh man, they really think that buying nice things, or doing things that are expected of them undos all the damage. Not that there was any in the first place, right? I know that all too well. Beat your kid yesterday? Buy them a gift to make them forget! And when they don't forget, tell them...

When you're excited about finally being hungry, only to lose your appetite after the fist bite.

Angry at the weather today. Of course, as soon as I get on my bike to cycle home, it starts snowing heavily. I was being so careful on turns and in the wind so I wouldn't fall. Despite that, there was a road with a lot of black ice and my bicycle slipped out. I have special pedals/shoes that...
