story of our life huh?
I feel that my arms shoulders etc. are dead weights, just hanging there. Not that I don't feel anything, but just hanging. I can move then, do whatever I want, it's just that dead feeling.
Oh bother, why don't someone just cut them off, I just might feel better.View Thread

I think what with my bad knees, the rotator cuff tear, which of course hits right at some FM trigger points, hmmm, viscious circle isn't it!
my girlfriend is a massage therapist I've had a swedish massage and a stone massage and neither helped. I've also had a chair massage.
Thinking she might not be the right therapist for me.
Hot packs can be good or bad for me, sometimes makes things worse.
I know long hot showers help, but not always practical.
I used to ride horses and I remember we had to do some stretches on horseback, (rider not the horse)
right in the middle of a stretch reaching for my toes,
I let out gush of air, oooooooooooo!
everything just blew right out. oh I felt so much better.
haven't felt like that since. To bad I can't go horse back riding every time I'm in pain or just all stiffened up.
one thing I'm doing that helps a little is taking a wooden back scratcher, and very very lightly running it over my back, barely touching the skin, almost a tickling sensation. I'm not ticklish, but oh, makes me moan and groan, almost erotic, I can even very light run my finger nails over the sensitive skin of the underarms and cause this sensation,
seems to help the heebie jeebies and muscle spasms.
people watching think I'm crazy,
I've been asked, what are you doing, petting yourself?
like a cat, then mean!View Thread

sheesh,
hurray! I'm checking in before the day is over!
good night everyone, sleep dreams,
I'm sitting up here at work, will get some sleep some time tomorrow,View Thread

had x-rays,
said that the the strange pains etc. are all located in the FM trigger areas.
so, what with me falling down, my existing problems,
I've jus woke everything up!
a lot of help they were!View Thread

not a medicine withdrawl or anything, had these before I'd taken any medicines.
doctor tells me more coping skills,
sheesh,! still have them, take a hot shower whenever I can, when I'm at work, I try and walk them off.View Thread

I'm late as usual technically, it's Fri.
went for walk around the outside of the building here at work. Nice crisp cool night, around 50 degrees, hard to believe it's June in Indiana!
went to the doctor, Vitamin D is maintaining at 33, which is good, as they won't give me a prescription dose, so I'm doing this on my own. I'm going to try and up it even more. Doctor said, get out in the sun more! duh, does he want me to look like a tomato?
My LDL is 120, they want it under 100, but they said, not bad!
got an infection, so had to do those mega dose antibiotics, yuck,
fell down twice in the last 2 weeks, which was why I'd gone to the doctor in the first place. went and had x-rays of the whole left arm.
nothing broke, just sore and woke up the arthritits.
advice from doctor was QUIT FALLING DOWN!
well, first time was an honest oopps,
second time was a total stupid!
so I'm sitting here enjoying the awesome weather. The weekend is supposed to be more of the same, into Wed. of next week!
HURRAY!
Got the date set for the scope of my right knee, meniscus tear.
then got an appointment for consultation for total knee replacment. That date is in Sept. would love to have this knee done by Christmas!
maybe that will keep me from falling down!
wow, a great present to myself!
hope all is well, sending warm and healing thougths to everyone.View Thread

well, I only work 4 days a week, and was sick yesterday.
hee hee.
anyway, today when I tried to log on, I was still locked out.
I'd hoped boss man would've fixed it. That's why Iwaited the 2 weeks. hee hee!
Anyway, it took me 8 hours today to figure out how to get to the area where I could get the help desk telephone number.
called them, then it still took me another 20 mins to get logged on.
HURRAY! I'm back,
no longer have internet at home, accessing from my cell phone is a pain.
so, I'm glad I can now access again from work!
sheesh, now I'm all stressed out.
I took yesterday off from work, first time in 2 years.
just wasn't feeling right, more than the normal FM, just kind of slow moving all over my body.
Could have been digestion, sinus, etc. or maybe all of the above. Wasn't a cold etc. had one of those a month or so ago, was able to work at that time.
It took all day yesterday, and half the day today before I started feeling better.
Once it kicked in, it came with a bang!
hee hee. Poor boyfriend tortured him to all day, I spent off and on all afternoon texting him via Facebook,
or sometimes I'd call and leave him a voice message, rarely was I able to speak to him live.
He's a finance manager at a car dealership, and this week is sales week. They have this once a month.
I was being my evil self with him, knowing that he was working and couldn't answer the way he wanted.
My last name is Wolf, so I'd say something like this she-wolf was going to run away to the wild's of Alaska, and never come back. All by myself.
hee hee, to hear him was sooo.. funny! anger-humour-naughty naughty girl from him is hilarious via text messages.
then of course there'd be a silly song on the radio. Anyone remember "If I had a million dollars" I'd buy you a house-fur coat-monkey etc.
it would always end saying something like not a real one as that's just cruel, hee hee.
I'd change the words a bit and send them to BF via FB instant message.
was driving him crazy.
so much fun.
I did all of this between eating lunch, finishing up my laundry I'd been working on all week, along with dishes putting things away etc.
I didn't start feeling better until after 1 pm, so got a lot done even with the texting and taking breaks etc.
Bad part, we had a couple of severe thunder storms, which I don't care for very much, scares me to death. So, I'd stop whatever texting I was doing, or housework, etc. and just take a break and lie down.
Now I"m trying to talk myself into going to the gym after work, at least going for the swimming. Though I'm afraid to go, don't want to stress the body into a relapse.
hmm, is this a excuse?
so happy Friday, or got to be honest, happy Sat.View Thread
