Good news – I’m actually feeling quite a bit better today! This is both good and a little bit bad. It is good for obvious reasons, but frustrating because it seems that a large part of why I was feeling so awful yesterday was the weather being so bad. Yesterday it stormed and poured rain [...]

I’ve had this string of really pathetic days – translation: I still have no energy, and due to a tiny lull in my busy schedule, have spent the last few days on the couch watching tv and movies. I know that this type of resting is necessary for me, but I really wish I actually [...]

Hurray! It’s Fibromyalgia Awareness Day! I’m really glad that we have our own day, and while not a ton of people know about it right now, I have confidence that more awareness and support are in the near future. I urge everyone to take this day as an opportunity to be kind to yourself (even [...]

By the end of the day yesterday I was so tired that I just wanted to cry. I woke up today in pretty much the same state. I had a list of things to do today, but as soon as I opened my eyes I knew they wouldn’t get done. On the plus side, I [...]

I’ve mentioned before that [...]

I’m moving a little slowly this morning, and I think it might be a bit of a rough day. I woke up this morning feeling more tired than when I went to bed, which is never pleasant (though a somewhat regularly occurring symptom of fibro). I’ve had really intense pain in my lower back for [...]

Wow – this is my third post today! That’s the kind of busy day it’s been! I’m totally wiped out and feeling a little nauseous and headachy from running around so much today. However, I wanted to put up some pictures that I took today of my friend Victoria.
Have a great night :)

I recently acquired the most amazing thing ever. That’s right, I said EVER! It is called the Book Book, and it is an amazing leather case for my laptop that makes it look like a book!!! As I am a HUGE bookworm and all around nerd, it is absolutely the perfect thing for me! (Can [...]

Recently I’ve been having rough nights of sleep and waking up grouchy, stiff and sore. This morning I decided to try and combat this unpleasantness by doing some Wii Fit. Wii Fit Plus is an interactive exercise program filled with fun ways to get moving. It is a really great tool for people with fibromyalgia! [...]
