Unbelievable....

So I'm sitting on the couch and feel something sharp jabbing me in the leg.  I thought I was getting stung by a wasp.  I jump up and yank down my pajama bottoms...no welt...nothing there.  I sit back down and once again, it feels like there's a shard of glass stabbing me.  Brush off the couch cushion and sit back down.  By now you'd think I'd have the good sense God gave a sack of door knobs to just get up and move.  Sit down and get stabbed again.  Now I'm getting mad so I get out the hand held vac and go over the cushion with it.  Sit down again...an ice pick in my leg!  I turned on the light and lo and behold...all this pain from a stinking little, barely visible to the naked eye...chocolate sprinkle!  It was stuck to the leather hence the vac did not pick it up.  Are you kidding me?  You'd have thought I had been attacked by a swarm of hornets the way I was obsessed over this but OWIE!  I scraped off the itsy bitsy sprinke and threw it on the floor...now I can step on it in my bare feet!  Duh.

I love fibro...

Sprinkles should be outlawed! An old one can be as hard as a pin.

I walk barefoot in the house in the summer.  I have two kitties and the litter will get caught in thier paws.  Ever walk on a tiny piece of cat litter? The pain shoots up your leg and buckles your knees.  Now when I was a child...before fibro...we used to run races on a gravel road and it didn't hurt a bit!

 

Okay, Donna.  If you ever want me to visit, make sure you have gotten rid of that chocolate sprinkle on the floor.

I had a mammogram on Thursday...talk about PAIN. Not sure if it was the ultrasound tech, or me, but never, ever have I felt such pain. I actually made her stop and release me and then of course, had to start again. She said something, don't remember now what, like she couldn't believe how much pain I was in...I finally told her I have fibromyalgia and I apologized. How stupid was that???

hahaa! love it! chocolate sprinkle! I'm used to seeing my mum thrash around bec of a tag on her shirt or a loose hair (if she trims her bangs) - my mum has CFS - and one of my daughters is very physically sensitive too (I took a deep breath and counted to ten when she freaked out and announced that a brand new pair of shoes that I had bought her had a tiny flap of material near the toe that caused EXTREME, fling-the-shoe-across-the-floor pain). Would have been nice to know this about the shoes before buying them and tossing out the receipt and the tags.....sigh.

I have quite a few numb patches on my feet, legs and back, so I'm sprinkles resistant ;) However, I panic at the thought of any dental work (including something as simple as the cold spray of water in my mouth). My dental hygenist is super duper gental, esp after I made a few grabs towards her wrists to stop her ;0)

Oh, that got me chortling! I can just see it all too well. And speaking of boobs - well, time for another thread....

I've got it with clothes, need to cut out everysingle label, and if even the tiniest thread of fabric in the seam is loose i will feel it poking me non stop untill the point when i go half mad... Usualy it's just a teeny wheeny thing hanging loose but it feels like someone forgot to take the needles out after sowing my pants!

Tip for u Donna: When eating chocolate sprinkles, use a plate :D

I would have eaten it if it hadn't been almost two months old and petrified!  That's when my grand daughter was here eating sprinkles on her ice cream!  I guess that doesn't say much about my cleaning abilities...in my defense it was the same color as the leather on the sofa.
