So tonight I started taking the Fibromyalgia miracle drug Lyrica. I admit I have high, very hige hopes. I was first prescribed the medication over a month ago but I've been putting it off...waiting for the right moment to start it. Plus after my freak out with Topamax over a year ago...I was a little nervous. In the mean time I did a lot of ( Read more... )

I almost feel as though this should be a three part entry just because none of these things have anything to do with each other.

First of all, I am in a lot of pain. Last Saturday I began having migraines. They'd come on suddenly and last for about a half of an hour each and then suddenly go away only to come back a few hours later. It continued ( Read more... )

Today is a day of relaxation. No worrying, no stress and no working. I was so grateful when I learned that Ben would not be with me this morning, meaning I could have a day off the way I truly wanted it. Here's the thing with my days off...they revolve around other people. If it's a weekday, I have Ben in the morning until I take him to ARC. Not a ( Read more... )

Sometimes I find myself at my desk not knowing what to type. I stare at the screen not knowing what to type and it drives me crazy.

I've been feeling like ( Read more... )

    It's funny how whenever one stresser is taken out, another one replaces it. A never ending stressball ( Read more... )

      During a two hour phone conversation with faerie_pink we started talking about the good 'ole days and next thing you know, we're reading old journal entries. Some of them were really old from our handwritten journals and others were from internet blogging.  While I wished I didn't complain or ramble so much, she was missing entries about our adventures ( Read more... )

I think I've decided over my history of blogging that updates are boring. Sure, when reading someone's blog, you might wonder what happened between posts or have a question, but for the most part you just don't care. They are also very long and something always gets left out. Plus, I probably lost my readers by now anyway, haha. So we're just going ( Read more... )

I am once again, not working. Sure, I'm still on the schedule at work and I will be going back, eventually. But for now, according to the hospital I am not supposed to go to work for a little while ( Read more... )

Once upon a time or two years ago to be exact, I made myself a promise. I was going back to school and quitting the life of a lowly retail employee. I was tired of going to work for a company that didn't care who I was or what my life was like and especially didn't care whether or not I enjoyed my job. So I quit and decided to never look back ( Read more... )

And America can kiss my ass!!! GAH! It's just wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, shall I go on? WRONG! America is stupid! Sheesh. *Falls into a fit of tears* CHRIS! *sob* Now what?
