Happy Easter
See? I did know what day today was. So I hope you all had a marvelous day in spite of how this one presented itself.
That was where my spirit was. The body had a whole other thought of this day. I felt like I had been hit by a truck. Knocked down with no energy at all. I think I am in a fibro-flare. Ugh! I even think I know why. After feeling Spring for a couple days Winter decided it wasn’t done yet. Last night was so cold and I just laid there in a tight knot and shivered. I finally saw that my husband had even pulled on his blanket so I knew it wasn’t just me. I turned up the heater and finally got some real sleep. But by then the bones and joints were feeling broken.
So fibro brain kept my writing to the minimum. Which shall be the case here, too.
Today was brought to you by the letter

Ow, I hope you are feeling better, now that CampNaNo and AtoZ Challenge have ended. I can relate to you, because fibroflares tend to surprise me. Hubby asked me months ago for a diary, what do I do every day, which food I eat, medicine, exercise? Some days are still a mystery, but here we are, doing our best despite, or because, we can show the world we are not defined by a sickness. I hope you have a great day. 🌻
I’m sorry we have the fibro in common. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy, But the journal idea is helpful. I think I use my blog to keep track a bit. I have found that barometric pressure plays a big part. eWeather has an app to watch. But if it is windy or cold I hurt. Lack of sleep is the worst. foods or weather can make it better or worse but the LOS can ruin me. No fibro doesn’t define me and I try to keep positive and productive, even on the worst days. Find a good distraction and I can move past it with the least amount of pain. Hope your day was good and tomorrow is better.
Thank you for your kind words, I´ve never thought about pressure! The doctor discovered that in my case, fibro is allergy related, although we haven´t found if there´s any food that triggers it. Agree with the lack of sleep. All the latter and a jaw joint problem, mix to cause me migraines and hazy mind too. Yay for keeping ourselves productive! 😀
I have wondered if my dust and pollen allergies were triggers. I am allergic to egg albumin, and though I don’t eat eggs, breads and other foods have eggs baked in. So I try to limit those kinds of foods. You have TMJ? It is something I was treated for but I do notice that it can trigger a flare if I haven’t paid attention to how I am holding my jaw, especially during sleep. I’m sorry you have the migraines. My mother’s side of the family have those very bad. I am lucky in that I only get the auras and not the devastating, blinding headache. I can handle an hour of weird vision without the nausea. I think that the worst of all of it is hazy brain. Having lost both grandmothers to Alzheimers any haze scares me. And yes! Productive/creativeness!!!😁💜🤗👌
Wow, you know so much about this that’s almost eerie. Thanks for the name, I couldn’t remember it today. Indeed, I have TMJ. Ihave a mouthguard to avoid bruxism, but using it is also tiring for my jaw. It’s years since I had an aura, was scary, but at least it gave me about half an hour to rush to my home before that devastating headache came. I feel you about hazy brain, it’s awful. And I’m sorry about your grandmothers.
I think hazy brain is more stressing than general body pain. I don’t know if you experience the same, but my head feels as if the cogs turned slower. In fact, I start speaking in slow motion, or in chopped phrases: I… banana… here!
Anyway, yesterday my head was so hazy I could barely speak, but helped my son with a trigonometry exercise before anybody else discovered how to solve it. This was the weirdest thing ever. So yes, slow but steady productivity! 💪😁
I’m sorry we share these things but that you can do trig with it is amazing. I wish I still had my mouth guard. The ortho told me I should toss mine. I wish I hadn’t because it helped so much. And it is interesting how even when the haze is there other things than speaking are still going strong. I play games to help keep the sludge moving. 😁👍
