Not up to much today. Went grocery shopping last night and couldn't sleep til 7am this morning. Love Fibro. Can hardly move today and it's really hard to type with swollen fingers. But at least I have the bills paid and groceries in the house for my daughter. I try to do the whole month's shopping as I can't get a ride very often and then can't

How nice it was that Johnny came to help out. Are y'all getting along better now

Thanks Tamie. I just like my older daughter said " Mom it's not like you're not still captain of the ship you'll just have a bigger crew". That made me laugh but I still couldn't call but I'm working on it.
And yeah now that Johnny and I are just on a friends only level and he's adapted to being a bachelor again I think we have an ok friendship. He has been a lot of help lately. But I have to watch that he doesn't fall back into some of his old ways too. But all in all it's been good.
I'm glad if even one of you girls realize that fibro doesn't have to rule your lives that makes me feel good. And I know you have your good and bad days but you are one of the ones like I was you keep going and balance it all. And you can have a family and be happy too. You're a good strong person and Mother, wife etc. with fibro. So you got it girl. Be happy and have a great night yourself. Be well, hugs Deb :)

awwww I hope you get a well deserved sleep tonight and wake up feeling better. I've taken so many naps today....and I still feel like I haven't slept in days.

Yeah, I just took a kittle one and all I got out of it was a good headache. So maybe later I'll sleep a little better. I'm so sore from shopping. It just gets to be a hard thing to do anymore. And I do too much of it but if I don't I don't know when I'll have a ride again. So I try and get it out of the way.
I hope you're feeling better after your assault. I hope you're not too sor from the tension too. Hope you're able to get some godd decent sleep and recoup soon. Take care Hon, Hugs, Deb

You know, sometimes exs are the nicest guys around :) That's great he helped you with the groceries (and carrying them all in). My best friend happens to be my ex and he's so understanding and helpful...I almost wish we did care for each other in a more romantic way.

And you probably had a more tiring day as you went all out the day before doing groceries, etc, etc. Just do what you can!!! Who knows, tomorrow may be a better day indeed :)

For me personally, it's not really the actual illnesses that bother me as much as all the rare side effects I get from the medications to treat them. Argh - now that's frustrating!

But I appreciate your strength - you're doing a great job!

Thanks Sweetie. Yeah a little better today but man I was wiped yesterday and only slept 3 1/2 hours last night. Thought I might sleep better since I was so exhausted and then when I went to take my meds this morning I realised I didn't take my nerve or sleeping meds last night. Oops. No wonder. So guess I'll probably try for a little nap later. Updates needed on the computer anyway. And my day isn't going to be quite as hectic

I've been a caretaker all my life and it's just so hard to even get my own Dr to understand the letting go part. I do try to do too much and then suffer for it.I'm really been trying to slow down and accept some help but it's hard to ask. Well I'm sure you know what I mean. Just doesn't seem to be in my vocabulary, even with my kids it's hard. My youngest is 18 and busy being 18 and I understand that so when I ask her it's even harder. I don't want her to feel obligated to take care of me I'm still her mom and she's a teenager, but I guess we have to work on that too. The grocery shopping is becoming a little much for me and I'm going to have to figure that out. If I had a car it would be easier then I wouldn't feel like I had to do it all in a day. Boy I was wiped out for two days from that.
Thank you for reminding me that I have to let it go sometimes. Then pick it up again later. *Hugs back* Deb
