i swear, fibro makes me stupid

i come home from work tired. and this causes stupidity, i swear it does. yesterday for example, i figured, i can wear sneakers out there and get some wood. who needs to bother to put the boots on? it only took about 5 minutes to find myself standing in the woods with a 4 inch rusted nail in my foot. yes, i was nailed to the ground. and the sad part is it took me 20 minutes to get myself free. thank god no one else was watching. i get so tired of watching my kids falling down laughing when i do stupid stuff like that. you cant really blame them, they wanna help, but when mom just falls over for no reason at all, it really is funny watching her try and get up. i would laugh at myself if i wasnt so embarrassed.

the good part is, once it stops hurting, i will totally forget it. (the bad part is i will probably do it again.)

geeeeeeeeeeeeeze

how is everyone?

Sorry to hear that you are expereinceing what is refered to as Fibro Fog. I didn't know why I would become such an airhead until I read an article writen by a Women named DEBBIE who happened not only to be a fibro suffer by a socialigist. She as some good books out their, the problem is right now I can't tell you her last name. She all so jusgeted Pain Tracking, and making up a fibro Survior kit

I am just OK. The neck issue is haunting me right now, plus two sore elbows, like tendonitis, from the airport and luggage going to see Mom. Mind is OK despite a nagging headache.
Hope all is well with that foot, Jesse!

Did it go through your foot? What a mess! I can see you out there. Heck I can see me out there!!! Hope you are okay today.

KULPN hope you do better as the day goes on. My neck is a problem too. Yoga does that to me every now and then. Well actually I do it to myself. I try to turn too far. Then I pay for days. I'm on my way to my 9 year old granddaughters basketball game and then her birthday party. Full day. I'm loading up on Ibuprofen right now! I'll need it. But I do get to see my girls and their families so worth it!

Really sorry for all of our pain.

God bless us all!

Hippiemama, have you had a tetnus shot lately; you may need a booster. I forget things so often; I really hate it. I get so tired, really exhausted, working so hard trying to pretend to be 'normal.' We went to my sister's today for her grandson's birthday party. 50 people, lots of little kids, helped with cooking, setting up tables, cleaning up, etc. I am sooooo tired. Making a 10 minutes bag of Shrimp Scampi for dinner, don't care whether the hubby and kid like or not, that's it. They can make their own, if not. Then early to bed.
