How are you doing REALLY? What been going on in your lives? I know some of us have been ill some going on vacation. Whatever it is, Fibro related or not, let us know how you are, what is going on in your lives? Hugs all around.
Well, we are leaving tomorrow on our cruise for our 20th anniversary, which is tomorrow. I am all packed. Unfortunately, I am dealing with a headcold that has my sinuses packed like concrete. I am taking mucinex and sudaphed. Vit C, Zinc, echinacea and now Amoxicillin. I have a sinus infection now. My head is banging but it lets up off & on. I hope it is going to be manageable with the motion of the ocean! This happens to me everytime I am going somewhere and I swear I stress over things until I get physically sick!
Really, huh? All of my joints have been giving me fits. Maybe I haven't recovered from all the riding on our trip. For several days I ached so bad I was afraid I'd gotten the flu somewhere along the way. I think the hand and wrist pain is from opening the doors on dozens of travel trailers we looked at and the overall aches were brought on by the "new" smell in most of them. Noxious chemical fumes of various types. After all that looking we went to a local dealer yesterday and bought the first travel trailer we looked at! It's been on the lot for months and doesn't have any "new" smell plus I can air it out even more! They have to do a few option things to it then we'll go pick it up. That will give me five MONTHS to figure out what I need to put in it. Maybe I can handle that. LOL So, I've been mostly resting and catching up on a bunch of movies. I did manage to get unpacked and got the laundry done. I put all kinds of stuff on hangers because it hurt too much to fold them.
Kathy, I hope that fresh ocean air clears your poor head up. Go swimming and get a big snort of ocean water up your nose! Works wonders.(When you fill out that boarding form don't tell them you've been sick!) Bon voyage!! Happy Anniversary!!
That must be new..never been asked if I've been sick. Plus no fever so good to go. Also no coughing or sneezing, just stuffy. Marcia, what kind did of trailer did ya buy? Post a pic for us!
Tired. If I had to just use 1 word to describe myself lately, this is it. My job is usually not too stressful but when an entire store is terminated - again - and I have to go in and figure out what is going on and start fixing it - again, it wipes me out. "My" store runs itself so I can handle working. Tired of constant rain and floods / mud. I am behind with everything and everyone and too tired to do anything about it. Not too tired to care tho so will get off of here in a minute and get outside on this beautiful day and soak up some much needed sun. blessings ........
Well y'all, I'm weaker than I've ever been. I'm begining to think I've had a small stroke...I've got a sinus infection so maybe that's whar's draining my energy..I really don't know. I'm in the middle of a huge clear-out at my house. Clearing out junk from closets and drawers and clearing out knick-knacks, medicine cabinets etc...Also I'm clearing out furniture that blocks my paths in the house, between dog toys and my son throwing dirty clothes and socks everywhere and furniture that juts out...I can't walk through the house! I've got to keep in mind my decreasing mobility and try to make everything better. This sounds as if I'm very busy and overdoing but, I'm not, I'm taking it one drawer a day and making slow but sure progress! My mental health is great though, inside my mind I'm feeling good, doing a little celebratory dance over the clear out, and praising God!
Frankie, you have a gift of making everything sound so positive! Nanki, I hope you got lots of sunshine today. Kathy, I always had to fill out a form saying I hadn't been sick, wasn't currently sick plus if I had travelled out of the country recently. Might have been the time of year I was cruising (autumn/winter): prime norovirus season. Will post a pic of the camper when we pick it up (and before I start junking it up!) Dawn, how have you really been?
Tired and a bit worried. Our cat, 18 years old, keeps us up most nights howling. We don't know what's up with that, but we can't afford to take her to the vets until we get our Soc Sec check. She had a good night last night, so we're hoping tonight will be the same. We want to make sure she is doing okay, and it stresses me to no end wondering if something's wrong that we're missing.
Myself, I am tireder than I have ever been. I work for a magazine, doing setup, and I just have to drag myself to the computer.
A bright spot is how our CD is coming along. We now have 5 pieces on it, with 4 more to go. We were hoping to get it done in time for Christmas, but we're not sure we can achieve that. At least it is taking shape!
Exhausted is my one word description. Had a horrible headache Fri night thought my head might just pop. Still feeling like I'm in a fog from it. I discovered Sat. morning my finger tips are numb so not sure what is up with that. On a good note fall sports for my kids are finished for the two lodest. Only my middle daughter is doing any winter sports so only 1 schedule instead of 3. And we rescued a beautiful kitty from the pound. She is a full blooded birman with beautiful big blue eyes. My daughter named her Kayliegh. I'm back down to my normal 5 kids. We had a temporary placement of 4 making a total of 9 kids. We miss the other 4 but my house is much quieter now.
Doing mostly well, I'm happy to say! I need to watch my computer use especially in the evenings. It keeps my mind active, and I don't sleep well. The sleeping seems to be the number 1 concern as to how I'll feel.
My second oldest son just bought his first home, about 40 min. away. He's very happy, and of course we are for him.
I went bike riding with my hubby this a.m., between his two jobs. The energy that man has! I wondered how I might do as it was cold (40) and windy; bundled up, did well, body feels good.
