Our Fibromyalgia Blog Book

by Incurable Romantic

Rated: 18+ · Book · Biographical · #1030039

This will show our fight with Fibromyalgia, so others can learn that it's real.

This blog will chronicle my battle with Fibromyalgia, sometimes comparing it to the battle my wife, Kenzie

has with the same illness. Many don't believe it's an actual illness, though its existence is recognized more and more in the medical community. I'm hoping that by shedding some light on what it can do to a person we can make others aware that it is indeed real, and that it can hit anyone of any age at any time. It's not deadly, by any means, but it can drastically change your life. It can be a real and aggravating pain in more ways than one (pun intended). MANY more ways.

In response to "More New, Fairly Consistent Pains"

I have been doing a lot of research on <a href="http://www.savvypatienttoolkit.com/fibromyalgia_chronic_fatigue">fibromy algia</a>. I found many things that may help including a page that compares fibro with chronic fatigue. This page also talks about <a href="http://www.savvypatienttoolkit.com/fibromyalgia_chronic_fatigue">fibromy algia symptoms</a> which is helpful in letting your doctor know what is really going on.

In response to "The Latest"

The one thing I can honestly say is thank God I do not have Fibro because at times just having Phnamonuia boughts with my lungs sence I found out how bad that they are get me down latly so bad at time to the point that it has to bwe right next door to bad before I even know I am sick so it is a great thing I do not have fibro. Even the neck pain latly I been having I need shots for that they are trying to get medicade to pay for if i had a ach like that like I have seen my mom go through latly I have a feeling I would never stop bawling if I had that on top of it so I can see exactly whatr you guys mean qwhen you talk about pain. I have had 2 in the last month boughts with phnamonuia again. The last round I got a shot of Rowsephan that is a antibiotic in my hip that can be took I.V. Form but they said they wanted me on a med by mouth 2 times a day for 10 days that should end about Thursday I hope so I hope this fixes that mess this time for good. Hope this time all stays well with you all as well At least for the winter months because you both dont need to be driving on slick snowy roads this winter trying to get to a doctors.

In response to "A Lot of Things Can Start Fibro Pains"

Only One comment to this that I can think of that would be a great idea for that monster. It needs SHOT! And You Might want to have the shoulder x-rayed to make sure its not accidently maybe out of place. My mom once was throwing wood from the back of a druck once and puld her shoulder out of place like that from a fast monthion kind of like that once. it can happen and you not know it at first. Just A idea.

In response to "Fibro Doesn't Care..."

You bet we're a pair, dear.

And I still say it goes back to sometthing we agreed on from the start. Going through all of those pains, and the others, and the fatigue, together, knowing the other understands and things require no explanation, beats the heck out of both of us going through it alone.

In response to "Fibro Doesn't Care..."

Bless your heart, hubby dear. I do know about that burning sensation. And the tingling, numbness, shooting pains, stabbing pains and throbbing ones.

Aren't we a pair?

In response to "Sleepyhead"

No two days are ever the same. For any of us. Isn't that just a part of the truest wonder of life? Even in the bad times, there is reason to be grateful!

Congratulations for continuing to show us the truth of the journey: the bad AND the good!

In His Care, and Yours!

In response to "Fatigue, or Allergy, or Both?"

Who cares about the reason!!

Those naps can be re-habilitating, for sure! I went to take a nap about 1:00PM yesterday after hitting a very near fatigue wall!

I awoke at 0400 this morning. Now, that's a manly nap!! Sadly, the wall is back in front of me. The visit by my friend (10 days) was really over-doing it! But, I will return. (whatchu mean, somebody already said it?)

Happy Birth Day America! I hope you enjoy the parade, and don't suffer too much because of it. Tell Derek I said "Hi!", and hug kenzie for me, won't you?

In His Care, and Yours!

What The Heck Is It?

I turned 76 in August. Now, in addition to Fibromyalgia, I have Inflammatory Tendonitis in my right hand, and arthritis in both shoulders, and possibly my right knee. So now, while the distinction between pains is usually clear, there are moments when I have to try and decide which source is giving me a particular pain in a particular place.
It's a good thing I have a sense of humor about all of this! And, that sense of humor has me wondering, "OK, what's going to come next?"
Right now, I have no clue. We'll just have to see what happens down the road.
