I am currently in one of those moods that is hard to define. Lack of sleep and a full body flare-up haven't helped matters much. You either allow yourself to feel all of the pain, or you mentally allow yourself to be dulled. I'm not talking about drugs or alcohol. I'm simply saying that after … Continue reading Hard To Define

I feel jet-lagged and incapable of moving almost every muscle in my body today. I can't truly afford to take the day off, but I have no choice. I am sitting here and my eyes are barely open, my brain is barely functioning, and yet, I know full well that I got a full night's … Continue reading Jumping The Gun

I think it's really important to listen to others and hear them, even if the subject matter makes you uncomfortable. I don't like to denounce someone's feelings, even if I disagree with their perspective. People say that words aren't harmful, but they can be and it's important to acknowledge that even the simplest way of … Continue reading Do Not Confuse…

I am sick & tired. Mostly of being both of the aforementioned. Because I have Fibromyalgia, my body responds differently to the weather and a lot of other external things that I, personally, cannot control. I have heightened senses, so a lot of smells make me sick and I often have to retreat to my … Continue reading Sick & Tired

Caring For Pets With Chronic Pain/Fibromyalgia Across the scale of Chronic Pain/Fibro sufferers, I have noticed a very high percentage of us are pet owners. I, myself, adopted a kitten last Fall. The tiny, under three pounds, kitten I brought home (see photo in the About section) that fell asleep in my lap after a … Continue reading Caring For Pets With Chronic Pain/Fibromyalgia

I don't care how positive you are about life, or the world at large, an emotionally bad day can, and will, screw with you. I was up way too late last night, which I partially blame on a phone call, but take full responsibility for the rest. I was beat, but for some reason, I … Continue reading Emotionally Bad Days

Out Of The Ashes One of the first PILD pieces I ever wrote was about drug addiction. It was an incredibly poignant piece of prose, but the basic theme was this: Anyone can become addicted to prescription pain medicine. This is a simple fact. This is a new blog, and since many of the readers … Continue reading Out Of The Ashes
