happy anniversary Pamy. I hope you feel better soon.

I went through all the hormone precursor cycles including the migraine yesterday. Today the Fibro is attacking both hands and my left shoulder. I just want to start, so I can get to the other side and hopefully start feeling better.

How is the weather down in southern cal? We in way northern Cal (near Chico) it is cold and cloudy and suppose to rain. probably why I am having flair up along with hormones not helping.

I am proud of you not smoking. You have done great the last two months. Keep up the good work. Hugs....

Aw (((Pamy))) & (((DC)))... so sorry you guys are in such misery. Just remember ... this too shall pass... and you WILL have good days again, hopefully SOON!

I'm finally feeling a bit better and ready to tackle the world this week after 2 weeks of doing absolutely zip-nada due to back-pain, sciatica, and fibro fatigue. I think cabin-fever has a lot to do with it, but whatever gets me back in the swing of things is a good thing, right?

ETA - and happy anniversary Pamy - I'm very proud of you girlie-girl! :-)

I love sunny crisp days. Used to love to walk my dog on days like that ,,,,back when she was alive.

you know, it struck me how crappy I felt after the week of cloudy grey days...I MAY buy one of those Lights. I noticed the local Drug store advertising it.

I find I'm so groggy on grey days. Its like I cant roust myself. Wish that the light could be tried out/ rented first, before buying.

SS, my sister who moved to Chemainus in September from Oakville was absolutely struggling with the greyness. She went out and bought a light and cannot believe how much better she feels. Her hubby is now using it as well. She also has a chi machine and a pilates machine but swears the light has made a tremendous difference.

Hi Dahli, I was in Chemainus in August (for the theatre there--saw a Cole Porter and it was excellent). It's a lovely wee place, but I'm curious as to what took her there being as there's no industry (or jobs) etc. Is she an actress?

HA! Holly, I'm going to tell her that! No she and her hubby (who retired at56 this spring) decided they wanted to live on the coast and bought a beautiful home on the water. She says she watches seals having sushi almost daily. They golf and stuff, but no acting for her yet anyway!

RN I am in tremendous pain from my bad back as my disk is acting up bigtime and took a muscle relaxant and a tylenol with codein. I've got a heating pad tucked between my back and my chair too. I'm just starting to feel fuzzy from the meds which means I will be conked out soon and hopefully I'll be okay for Thursday when I have to take both cats to the vet. The thought of carrying those 15 pounders is killing me. Luckily a galpal will help me and I'll treat her to the movies as a thank you. I am rambling will shut up soon... but i do love this fuzzy feeling. I'm in pain and I don't care, doo dah doo dah.

ETA . I ran around today outside doing errands, got my hair done, banking, and went to a market research focus group, and then a bookstore, bought 4 books (not heavy, just hard to walk outside in winter) and then walked home at least 6 blocks in the snow. My shoulders are stiff and achey too. I'll have to heat up another heating pad for that too. First day out in 2 weeks and it about kills me. I'm pathetic. DH was wonderful and very attentive tonight. He wanted me to hit the hay, an hour ago, but I wanted to wait til my pills kicked in... which they are starting to do. gads... rambling again.
I also posted this in the RN thread cuz I couldn't find this thread right away.

I hope you feel better Ms. Mame.

I haven't been able to start my Cymbalta yet. I keep having something I have to do or place I have to go. Yesterday I had to do my Mom's laundry and some other chores for her. Then today I was about to take the med and my Mom called and said she needed me to take Dad to dentist. He is still working on getting his teeth all taken care of from the last infection flair up. I had to take him in to a local dentist who got him in on emergancy. They was able to pull tooth inspite of infection and they only charged him half price. The people were really nice. Tomorrow I have to take my daughter to meet with her teacher, I have to take my Mom on errands around town. So I am shooting for Thursday.

I am still out of sync with everything around me and I can't seem to pull it together. My house is disarray and my routine is the same. I just want to get back on track, so I can feel secure and back in my comfort zone life lol. My left hand has calmed down, but my right still wants to flair. Oh well, just another day.

(((((DC)))))) hoping today is a better day for you. I am feeling way better today. Down to my usual discomfort and not the off the charts pain of last night. Thank heavens for good meds. I am happy to report that while the combo of the muscle relaxant and the tylenol with codein usually makes me a b*tch-on-wheels (upber-irritable) for a couple of days after, it hasn't done that this time nor the last time I took them. I wonder if they are losing their oomph? But the main thing is that they work, without the miserable side-effect of grumpiness and that's wonderful.

Thank you Pamy. I was able to manage the busy day yesterday and slept like a rock lastnight, but woke up with another migraine. My Zomig nasal shot got rid of it right away, so only battle being loopy today. Thank goodness my cycle finally started so I can get back to some sence of normalcy.

I hope your doing well. Hugs...



Ms. Mame I am glad your doing better. Nothing like having the after effects to add to the already not feeling well. I hope your not bothered by the after effects anymore and your still feeling better. hugs...

Hey that's me on the end in the purple dress and straw hat! After lifting and carrying my 12 and 16 lb cats yesterday to and from the vet, (although a galpal came along and helped me), I had to take the tylenol w/codein again last night but didn't take the muscle relaxant. I cancelled an apt for this aft and postponed it for next week. Didn't want to walk into a job interview all hunched over saying ow ow ow every couple of minutes.
