REPRISE: You Might Be a Fibromite If...

...the shower hurts

...that brick you've been laying on turns out to be a wrinkle in the sheet

...you realize your post to the forum never appeared because you forgot to hit the SUBMIT button

If you repeatedly answer the phone with the remote control.

If you have two garages and cars...hit the garage door opener button for the door with the vehicle you are not going to drive...then back into the closed door.  Husbands don't like that.  Geez.

Turn down a road where you think a sign says garage sale and it really says garbage fill.

Tell the produce guy at the grocery store that you can't find the achipokes. Armachiils. Ahtapicks.  Those green things that you peel off the layers and eat.

Sherrine...I will help you.  When you think a young man who posts on the forum asking whether foam rollers will help his girlfriend is asking about rollers for her hair instead of a piece of exercise equipment, and you go into a long story about how we all used to use them in the sixties and they shouldn't hurt her head.   Oh Geez...I just wet my pants again laughing.  Thank you so much for that moment.  On my worst days I read that  post and immediately feel better!

You're an English major and you spend 10 minutes trying to remember how to spell a four letter word...apparently "only" was too complicated for me the other day.

You suffer up an entire flight of stairs only to have forgotten what you went upstairs for in the first place by the time you get there.

You can't remember someone's name, but you were positive it started with an L so you start going through every L name you can think of and then suddenly remember a half an hour later that their name was Anne.

I haven't been officially diagnosed with fibro, but I've certainly got the fog part down.

When you cannot open a door because the dang deadbolt is stuck, then you realize there is no deadbolt and you have to unlock the doorknob.

When you have to type your password three times before the fibro forum will let you in.

When your medication makes you have weird dreams and you wake up to the annoyed cry of your husband because you just tried to spank him!

Okay Sue, I won't touch that one.

 

WFJ, I have never been an english major but I question my basic grammer all the time anymore and if I didn't have a dictionary on my computer desktop you wouldn't be able to read this. I forgot how to spell dew the other day.

 

Donna, since you got her with the rollers I won't mention the two meanings of nursing. ROFLMBO

 

luv and hugs

OMG Sue, that has happened to me. I walked into the counselor's office at school and the door closed and locked behind me. I found what I needed and went to the other door no problem I thought I'll go out the other door but I couldn't open it. The knob would not turn and I did not realize there was a deadbolt on it.

I freaked out and try to call the school's # but couldn't remember how to get an outside line.
I was in that office for about 20 minutes banging on the door before some realized I was fooling around. When the secretary let me out I was crying and shaking. The principal put her arm around and said it's ok but just in case it happens again I want to show you something. She showed me the deadbolt.

I keep my jokes very simple now.

some of my favorites-

you know you have fibro if your medical chart is 2 inches thick

when your great grandmother can walk faster then you

when you realize your “morning” Cafe L’Orange is just not realizing you poured your orange juice into your coffee cup

When you've memorized your pharmact's number and nobody elses

hahahahha littleneck. wish I could have seen that.

Or when you get in your car and wonder what that smell is and your child climbs under the seat to find the 'cottage cheese' (milk) you bought 3 days ago
Or you simply call your hubby "dear" because you cannot remember his name...
Or you go through the roll call when scolding your child, even though you only have one, he no longer minds being called by the dog's name....
Or your computer chair is lined with 4 memory foam pillows

this is such a good post  LOL.. ****. I really needed this today ..and ca't wait to share some of this with fellow Fibro Friends. ,Wish my brian would work well enough today to post something witty. and funny Darn Fog....

 

I know I know....

 

When your talking to your Doc about pain ... and he aks where and how does it feel.... and you are so used to ignoring it you can;t tell him... LOL.. well that one really was not that good. Oh well...

 

Some really good ones...

 

I'v never reached over in the sleep to spank hubby ..  LOL.. ( this was one of my FAV ) .. but have punched him in my sleep and kicked him.. he wakes up Like ::: WHAT ?

 

Thanks for this post... I'll be back to read more ..... so keep them comming

When you make a nice juicy apple cobbler with Paprika instead of cinnamon.  They both have red lids...

When you wash your glasses with spot remover instead of Windex because the bottles are the same color then think you have some eye disease because everything is so foggy.

When 'cleaning the house' is taking a dish towel and  wiping the dust off the t.v. screen.

 When you ask a grocery clerk where the restroom is, she does everything but walk you to the door and you find yourself in the meat locker.

Hi everyone,

   I'm new, but I can tell I like this bunch already. I spend so much time being depressed and wondering what the heck is wrong with me sometimew I forget to laugh. I love to answer my remote and often forget my glasses are on top of my head, but my favorite thing is when I forget how to type, like right now. I think it's probably taking me entirely too long to write these few lines. Oh well I guess theres a lot to be said for a short post.
