I know I feel this way and I'm slightly astounded that the percentage isn't higher. I suspect others have more support than most.

Soothing The Beast
Thank you to those that inquired about my health on Tuesday. I genuinely appreciate that. I was 100% better yesterday. Apart from a little achiness, it was surreal to physically feel nothing. These are very rare days indeed, but all I felt able to handle on an emotional level was some paperwork and phone calls, … Continue reading Soothing The Beast
It Doesn’t Get Easier
Fibromyalgia Pain. Chronic Pain. Migraines. They are just a few of the evils that millions suffer from. Some suffer loudly, but many more suffer in dark rooms, alone, in silence. You're screaming on the inside, but you don't make a sound. There is something about the temperature shifting drastically that changes my "Pain Game" to … Continue reading It Doesn’t Get Easier
Mondays…The Bane Of My Existence
Maybe it is lack of quality sleep or the fact that I woke up stressed, but this particular Monday is making me ill. The eerie quietness was giving off a lovely early Sunday morning vibe, which was helping calm my nerves...until the mowing and trimming started, AGAIN. I've had a migraine since last night, so the … Continue reading Mondays…The Bane Of My Existence
These Days
When you suffer from any form of chronic illness, and I can only speak from experience with Fibromyalgia/Chronic Pain, there are days when you cannot fathom getting out of bed, leave alone getting out of the house. The pain is just that great in its magnitude that functioning is taken out of the equation. You … Continue reading These Days

Don’t Use…
Originally, I had something funny planned for today. Then I saw this, and it made me realize that the message behind this is far more important than my being humorous. I cried the last time someone told me they'd lost a baby, so if you're a parent and your child/children drive you crazy, take a … Continue reading Don’t Use…
Behind Every Beautiful Thing…
“Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.” ―Bob Dylan
Hard To Define
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
Tell Me The Truth; Was I Run Over By A Truck?!
Sleep issues, for now, seem to be on their way to looking up. I was in bed so early last night, I'm certain every 80+ year old Grandmother was still awake when my head hit the pillow. When sleeping is difficult, it's good to go to bed the second you can no longer keep your … Continue reading Tell Me The Truth; Was I Run Over By A Truck?!
