My name is Pamela as many of you may know from my other blogs, and I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I had already planned to do this blog but my husband told me yesterday I need to keep a pain journal, so I promised him I would start it on Sunday which happens to be today, so one thing checked off of my lists to do.
I will get into more about the start of my pain and diagnosis and treatment in the future but while I was thinking of it I wanted to get this up, because if I don't do it while I am thinking of it, you never know when I will get to it again.
Pain for today is mostly near my wrists, lower legs, knees, left side of neck, upper arms and elbows. Not such a bad day for me so I have made it to my daughters basketball games, washed the dishes, folded most of the clothes and pretty much delegated everything else I could think of to the rest of the family. I do plan on making a new to me recipe to try out for dessert tomorrow night later on when the kids are in bed while I have the energy but lets see first if I make it that far.
Usually I am in bed before the kids. Luckily they are pretty good getting themselves ready for bed and up in the morning for school. I am blessed in that area. Every now and then someone will forget to put their clothes aside for the next day or maybe even misplace a book bag, paper, or other item needed for school, and I come to their rescue to help them retrace their steps to find what they need. On a good morning when I am doing well, I am able to do something special with one of the smaller kids hair, which makes them feel special.
I hope that this will help my Dr's out in providing the right kind of care for me in the future. This is also a place where others can learn about Fibromyalgia as I do and know they are not alone in the pain they are feeling. I hope today has been good for everyone and here is to the mystery of what tomorrow will hold for each of us.
My motto is "anything can be achieved in time" Start with a second and work your way up to minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years.
