My physical, mental, & emotional agony trump a lot of other things at the moment. I'm, quite possibly, not clear-headed enough to write this properly, so please, bear with me. I'll correct anything that I post that needs to be fixed later on. I sit here terribly sleep-deprived, covered in varying degrees of bruises (some … Continue reading Never Underestimate The Pain

Whenever there's something stressful going on in my life, it often affects my sleep, thus turning me into a shadow of my former self. Insomniac Lisa and Painsomnia Lisa are two very different beasts from the person I am when I'm able to prioritize sleep, and actually get into bed each night at a decent … Continue reading Insomnia & Painsomnia: A Wicked Combination

Hi everyone! I know this isn't a typical visiting experience at the moment, but I assure you I am doing my best. When you're caring for a post-op heart patient, every single day blends into the one before. I likely wouldn't know it was Monday if I hadn't intentionally bypassed Friday and Saturday's normal routine … Continue reading My Apologies

It's no secret; I've had a rough two weeks dealing with a serious family emergency. If you've ever had to force a man (or any loved one) to go the hospital knowing that something was clearly NOT "okay", perhaps you can relate. My brother came out of surgery Thursday afternoon, a good three hours earlier … Continue reading Morphine Mania

Two New Drugs For Fibromyalgia That Actually Work

I don't know how comfortable I'd be with Xyrem, but we'll see what happens once it's FDA approved. Sadly, I am afraid it will be abused by people who do not suffer from Fibromyalgia or any form … Continue reading Two New Drugs For Fibromyalgia That Actually Work

It is unbearably difficult to move today. Everything hurts ten times worse than it did yesterday. 😦 The only non-painful part of my body are my toenails. That is sad, at least from where I'm sitting. Pain like this is torture and no decent human-being should be forced to live like this. I'm not stating … Continue reading Aches, Pain, and Shooting Stars

http://fibromyalgianewstoday.com/2015/10/12/systematic-review-explores-psychological-aspects-juvenile-fibromyalgia-syndrome I legitimately believe that Fibromyalgia, for me, began around age six and progressively worsened in my late teens. I might never be able to prove it, but at least now, I know the signs so that future generations don't have to suffer or be told they "just have growing pains". I've been tested like … Continue reading Systematic Review Explores Psychological Aspects of Juvenile Fibromyalgia Syndrome

After an extraordinary amount of sleep last night into this morning, I somehow managed to convince myself that today was: A) Monday (Which is just plain EVIL, even though Monday is a holiday for me.)
