Hurray! No disgusting pill aftertaste today! The weather here is fluctuating like crazy which means a lot of migraines for me. Just what I need. Monday night’s migraine had me vomiting for several hours of the wee morning. It really, really sucked. The only bright side: all the migraines since then have seemed almost pleasant [...]
I survived yesterday and all of the doctor’s appointments involved! (It was only two, but it felt like a lot) The gynaecologist appointment was basically just him asking me a lot of questions and looking at the results from the ultrasound. The ultrasound came back totally clear, which rules out a number of possible causes [...]
This morning I was 100% convinced that it was Tuesday. By this afternoon, I thought it was Thursday. Alas, still Monday… Methinks it is going to be a very long week… I haven’t been posting as often as I want to because I’ve been busy and exhausted. Either I’m not doing anything, or if I [...]
I’ve had a surprising number of people e-mail me to ask about the results of my ultrasound, so I’ll fill you in with what I know: nothing! Seriously though, I don’t know what the results were. Ultrasounds are done by ultrasound technicians, who are not allowed to tell you anything. They do the ultrasound and [...]
I have no idea what is going on with me today – NONE. I woke up feeling a bit off, but went to class nonetheless. On the way there I noticed I was having some strange vision thing (you know when you close your eyes sometimes and can see the nerve endings firing? It was [...]
Went to the doctor today and talked some things through. I’m going in for an ultrasound next week (can you believe how soon that is?!? When she said she was booking one for me I thought to myself “So begins another nine month wait” but apparently not!) and will be talking to a gynecologist at [...]
I should start by mentioning that I’ve had a great morning, and that in the past day or two I’ve found ways to bring some more fun and relaxation into my day. So I have something to contrast against some of the struggles I’ve had lately (honestly, the changing season is driving me crazy – [...]
Lately I’ve been avoiding this blog like the plague. Here’s why (as far as I can figure out): I started this blog with the hopes of illuminating the day to day struggles of living with fibromyalgia. The only problem with this plan was that it meant that I too had to acknowledge all of the [...]
The medicine I took for my back really helped a lot. My friend laughed at me for not taking anything sooner (this is not the first time my back has done this sort of thing), but honestly I just didn’t think to do so. I spend every day with symptoms that cannot be cured, so [...]
I learned a lot in the summer about how to keep my body healthy and happy. The problem now, is applying all of those techniques during the stressful and very busy school year. After I recovered (mostly) from my cold, I was determined to start anew. That, of course, was the moment that I got [...]
