Why me?

I have been struggling with this ridiculous pain for months. Dx is Fibromyalgia. I'm pretty sure that is the dx they give you when there isn't any other reason for the pain. I can treat the pain but can't seem to get beyond the damn fatigue. Every day it rears it's ugly head. Maybe 3 days out of 7 are pretty good days. I feel well enough to actually do some cooking and art work but most of the time I am worn out just sitting and reading a book. How the hell do I combat this monster? I tried a high protein diet with very low carbs and I felt better after about a week but the better didn't last long. Of course I kept adding carbs to the diet. Protein is a difficult thing for me to get enough of.  My brain is like a bowl of oatmeal. Just mush. I can't remember something for 5 minutes without looking at it again. I really hate this mushy brain thing.
Had my appt with Dr Peters yesterday but someone from his office called and said it was Wed and not Tue so I missed yesterday and showed up today. Now I am off until early Feb. Need to start tx for osteoporosis before I screw around a break a bone. Not my hobby of choice.
I am slowly doing my first page for my year book with Tam. I am enjoying the program she has put together and I do believe I will manage to complete the series. This is learning to work with water soluble crayons and pencils. It is a learning experience and I like that.
I want to get to my mojo bags too. I know what I want to make so getting to it is the biggest problem I seem to have. Very little motivation it seems. I don't even want to visit Michaels and that is really a serious problem.   Back to my picture.

  1. Sorry you are struggling with this. Have you tried a gluten free diet? If you research it, you'll see it can cause all kinds of physical and mental symptoms. I had stomach pains they couldn't pin down. Now I'm not eating gluten and feeling so much better! Hang in there. Art always takes me away!
