Okay, I am finally back! I wanted to use this blog to document all aspects of life with fibromyalgia, but last week I just completely and totally bailed. Waiting for the results from the doctor became so so very stressful for me, and I didn’t want to write about it on here because admitting it [...]
I make it a habit, during the second week of classes, to go to my professors’ office hours and inform them of my fibromyalgia. I find it extremely helpful for the moments when I need an extension on an essay or something of the kind. I am registered with my university’s Disabilities Services office, and [...]
I keep rewriting the beginning of this post. The reason is that I don’t really want to say what I’m about to say. Lately some things have been going wrong with my body. For awhile I assumed that it was just in connection to my fibromyalgia but it soon became apparent that something else was [...]
I’ll be the first to admit that I spent much of yesterday afternoon rather flustered and upset (a fact which I’m sure my roommates and friends can verify…). However, by the end of the day I had managed to relax about it a little. While the situation was aggravating, it is not catastrophic. I’m going [...]
I went this morning to get tested for allergies. I had an appointment in February, but by calling and asking to be put on the waiting list, I got an appointment the next day! I thought this boded well, but the trip ended badly.
Essentially, the problem is that all the skin prick points failed [...]
As I predicted in the early hours of the morning, today is not a great day for me. My fibromyalgia is acting up, and I can really feel that I am fighting a cold.
I think the reason this day has hit probably has to do with the the chaos and excitement of getting ready [...]
It is about 4:30 in the morning. I am awake because I am feeling unbelievably awful – I’m talking hardcore ill. I feel sick to my stomach and the backs of my hips and legs are tense and restless. Needless to say, I can’t sleep at the moment. I try to keep track of what [...]
Thanks for all the well wishes! It was lovely to open up my computer this morning and receive so much love :) I can feel that I’m still fighting against a cold, and it seems like my body is working to stop my fibromyalgia from flaring. However, I do think I will be better soon. [...]
I have arrived in Kingston and have only a few days before school starts up again. This morning I was sooo stiff from driving in the car yesterday. I felt like a statue being forced to move – it was not fun. Yoga was a little more painful at first, but I knew it was [...]
Humidity can really spark fibromyalgia symptoms, and wouldn’t you know that there is a record breaking level of humidity and heat occurring this week. It’s not the best way to spend the last week of my summer break. I’ve literally been hiding in the basement for the past three days. It hasn’t been all bad, [...]
