This is the pits!!!!

Did I mention I don't like this fibro syndrome??? I've also been having what I call senior moments. I totally messed up at work today. I was printing programs for a funeral and messed up all the paper I had ordered by copying the front page on the back and only realized it when I began to fold. It was expensive paper and I only had a limited amount. And it was too late to get more. I was so confused... And the family was none too pleased.

Yes. Very frustrating. I dont look forward to much more of this. There's got to be something to help these symptoms.

Oh Nina, that sounds exactly like something I would do! That's why, whenever I sub, I cringe if they want me to do anything clerical, like copying and putting together books (good thing they don't very often.)

I think that our bodies are sending us so many weird signals all the time that it uses up a lot of our brain power. Seriously!

I hope you feel better soon, and I hope the family eventually understood.

It is a frustrating and confusing syndrome. The traveling pain thing is a blast isn't it? (Sarcasm of course) Don't be to hard on yourself with the foggy cloudy head. It happens to us all. Yesterday at work I was training a new sales rep. I was going to show him something on the computer. I stood there staring at the screen moving the mouse back and forth trying to think what I was doing. I was in this strange foggy trance. Finally the guy says to me "Mike. ..you alright? "

I quickly came back with. "Oh yeah. .. sorry. .I was just listening to Tatiana sell" (Tatiana was selling Uverse to a customer) then I remembered what I was going to show him.

You are not alone Nina not alone.

Take care enjoy the weekend

Its a good place to vent when you are having one of those days : )

Doctors are baffled by this disease I can tell they'd like to help but can do only so much. It's such a trial and error thing. When it first starts up you sound like a nut case saying it hurts here and next day it hurts somewhere else. Now I feel a buzz in my foot and I think, oh that's fibro and try to ignore it.

Hang tough.

Hi Nina:

I'm in a whole lot of pain today too. I did not get my nerve blocks, due to being sick. You always find out something actually was helping, meds or nerve blocks, when you stop them. I was getting really bad pain on the right side of my face today. It might be from the jaw? My Doctor does nerve blocks there.

Have you tried Tramadol? I haven't tried enough to know if or how it would work if taken long term. I will need many decent sleeps to get my pain down some.

We went out of town last night and slept at a hotel. I was in a deep sleep and I thought I heard my Husband say the alarm is on. I started to think I could hear noises outside. We were in a by-level. I told him I would go downstairs to check. My Husband woke up and said he didn't say anything to me and there were no alarms going. Went back to bed. The workings of the Fibro mind.

I have a long list of things gone wrong. Perhaps Nina, you can print one copy first to see if looks OK. I am sure you usually do. It is what is so frustrating that in our healthy life we were quite good in anything we did.

Misspelling- should have been tramadol. My iPad has a mind of its own. At least something around here does. :)

Yesterday was a good day, so today bad.. My muscles pay me back after a good day ..

Our weather is colder and thats not good, plus i think hormones are playing a role today, so i am just riding it out, but not too well.

I only did some paperwork in home office and laundry today, made some dinner...

Tomorrow will hopefully be better for all of us....
