Sunday Ramblings

I didn't got to church today. :( For the first time in several months my fibromyalgia has decided to flare up. I hear some people think that this disease doesn't exist...I beg to differ. I should have known it was getting ready to flare up last night because it was so hot and although we had the air on it was comfortable but not cold in the house. I was under a quilt getting caught up on Miami Medical. A quilt! In June ...In Arkansas with temps reaching 90+ and the humidity had to of been at least 90% yesterday. It was just miserable.

I just want to know why people think this doesn't exist---

Fibromyalgia is a common condition characterized by long-term, body-wide pain and tender points in joints, muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues. Fibromyalgia has also been linked to fatigue, morning stiffness, sleep problems, headaches, numbness in hands and feet, depression, and anxiety.

Fibromyalgia can develop on its own or along with other musculoskeletal conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.

Symptoms

The overwhelming characteristic of fibromyalgia is long-standing, body-wide pain with defined tender points. Tender points are distinct from trigger points seen in other pain syndromes. Unlike tender points, trigger points can occur in isolation and represent a source of radiating pain, even in the absence of direct pressure.

Fibromyalgia pain can mimic the pain that occurs with various types of arthritis. However, the significant swelling, destruction, and deformity of joints seen in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis does not occur with fibromyalgia syndrome alone.

The soft-tissue pain of fibromyalgia is described as deep-aching, radiating, gnawing, shooting or burning, and ranges from mild to severe. Fibromyalgia sufferers tend to wake up with body aches and stiffness.

For some patients, pain improves during the day and increases again during the evening, though many patients with fibromyalgia have day-long, unrelenting pain. Pain can increase with activity, cold or damp weather, anxiety, and stress.

I

t's for real folks...trust me.

It doesn't help that I'm having a severe allergic reaction to the celebrex for the arthritis and might have to go off it. :(

It's my miracle drug for pain.

Yesterday Kelly and I went to Nikki's and got Drex's room almost complete. All I have to do is put the doors back on the armoire and touch up the paint. We are ready for him! I know his mama is ready...she's so swollen but her blood pressure is great so she's still working and waiting.

Kelly is still looking for a job. I think she's getting a little discouraged, she's wanting her own place so bad. It's hard to move back in with a parent after you have been on your own . I have confidence she will find one soon. 

I haven't mentioned the sunroom in a while. Britt is doing the wiring this week and then we can put the walls up. I am excited to get it completed! Here's a few pics of the work so far. 2 walls are solid and 2 are all windows and a door. I love the light that comes in there...my plants will too this Winter!

One outside wall done and the other plastic. This was a while ago.All the walls and windows are up now.

Door is in!

Wall with door going into living room.

I'm heading to the couch...yall have a wonderful Sunday.
