Me and hubby both read it, and now, the terms have become "out of spoons", "watch your spoons" and other things like that.

Just read the spoon explanation. It great, and might help next time I'm with people who just dont understand my life. Of course, some people are so self-centred and narrow minded they never will, others feel pain and grief in others deeply. I see he…

Ofcourse, it's a "chicken or the egg?" situation. If you experience a physical sensation during sleep (someone leaves a window open, for example, and you're cold...) then that'll have an effect on your dreams (...you might dream that you're skiing,…

I keep my eye on what's available, but what I do that I've found isn't as common is I'm a bit of a hard-ass when it comes to making sure that the treatment suggested has some research, logic, and reason behind it. I won't spend an arm on a leg on sn…

My work is moving to be next to the growing operation about 10 miles away. I've been told there is 10 hours for me with this side of the business (wholesale) if I want it - this will involve deliveries, probably one of them being a 3 or 4am start -…

I'd imagine one of the factors is where people are in the process of dealing with their diagnosis. Also what other things are going on in their lives - family, work etc, the support structure around them, attitudes and availability of health resourc…

OK, I have to confess.  I've felt lazy today & haven't gotten much done.  TGIF!  I just can't seem to motivate myself today.   I'm reminded of when our son was a high school sr & rec'd a score of 33 on the ACT Test, high enough to put him in the top…

a decade since my fibro dx

In a few wks, it'll be a decade since my fms dx in 2000, at age 40. I recall for some yrs after that, trying to escape the pain & not wanting to to be a chronic pain patient. Getting used to taking daily meds & sleep problems & memory issues. Praying & asking others to pray for God to heal me, & the disappointment & depression when I wasn't healed.

Then, sometime in '03-05, gradually coming to realize I was probably going to have to live w/ this pain for the rest of my l… Continue

I'm not hiding any more...

A song plays in my headphones.
It's The Killers - Bling (confession of a king)

When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
And I'll tell you when it's over,
Shut up poor and tired,
But more than this

If you're not nervous anymore,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad...


And here I sit, nodding to myself..
Hit back, listen to it again..

When I offer you survival,
You say it's hard enough to live,
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
