Weather Woes

Isn't it funny how hurricanes can bother you even though they are miles and miles away? I have fibromyalgia. You ask, what is that, well it is something that hurts! Your body hurts, you have pain everywhere. Some days are worse than others.
I was told that I had fibro in 2004. Most of the time I have good days but when there is a change in the weather, I am in a fix. Yesterday and today are not good days at all. My body aches and also there is this burning feeling that I will have and my whole body feels hot, not hot to the touch but my insides feel hot. It is so hard to describe and if you do not have fibro you will not understand this pain. I can always tell when something weird is going on with the weather because of the way I start feeling. Some other symptoms that go along with Fibro is:

• Fatigue that interferes with work and daily activities.
• Sleep problems (difficulty falling or staying asleep, waking up feeling tired).
• Morning stiffness lasting less than an hour.
• Headaches.
• Constipation or diarrhea related to irritable bowel syndrome.
• Memory problems and difficulty concentrating.
• Anxiety or depression.

I have all of these symptoms. Now like I said some days are better than others and I have more good days than bad but when I have bad days they are BAD. But when you have an active 5 year old, you just have to grin and bear it =-) Thank goodness my parents and husband are here to help.
My mom also has Fibro, so we know what each other is going through =-)

On a good note it is a Short Week!! Yeah!! McKenzie only has to go to school 4 days this week =-)
