While Fibromyalgia impacts between 3 and 6 million Americans, there still is too much “unknown”. You can’t say “I have fibromyalgia.” like someone might say “I have asthma.” People just don’t get it. Fibromyalgia pain is real. At one point in time, fibromyalgia was a diagnosis given to anyone with chronic pain that could not be explained. [...]

Well, my headaches are back 110%. I previously have been diagnosed before with chronic daily headache and sure enough, that is what’s happening right now. Last week, I was in the doctor’s office twice. No relief. We started a new medicine and it has done NOTHING to hit the headache. I’m sick of taking medicines [...]

I appreciate those that can understand that sometimes, my brain just does not work the way I want it [...]

Last week, our car was vandalized. I can tell you, I would never wish pain on anyone, not even the individual that did so to my family vehicle. For the past six years, I have lived with chronic pain. What started as migraines on a daily basis has moved to my back, legs, sometimes my [...]

So, I was anticipating today that I’d be encountering a round of trigger point injections all over again. NOPE! My doctor said I’ve been doing great from what I told him and because of that, we’re pushing it out. If I need to get in before the next appt., I just need to let them [...]

Since the first time I was referred to Iowa City, quite honestly, I was given hell by everyone about, “Why do you have to go so far? You need to go somewhere closer.” Really? Um because if I had a choice yeah, I’d totally pick the god awful long drive to get injections and the [...]

Since about a week before Christmas, I have been in a pain flare-up. I’ve had a constant headache but it keeps wavering back and forth. I got thinking about it and honestly, I need to stop referring to my headaches as migraine as if I tell you I am diagnosed with chronic daily headaches-that probably [...]

On Monday, my cousin went with me to Iowa City for another appointment with my Pain Medicine Specialists. Overall, I have felt a difference since the first injections. A few weeks ago, I started feeling more pain and having issues again but, I knew the things wouldn’t last forever. Now anyone that knows me understands [...]

Today I will be heading to Iowa City to the Pain Medicine Center for my second round of trigger point injections. It is about a 2 1/2 hour drive. Since these can be different for everyone and everytime, I might be a bit “out of commission” typing but I will be back as soon as [...]

Since dealing with all of my health issues and the fibromyalgia, it’s been one of those, “How can I make life easier for myself?” situations. Obviously, I have to take my time adapting things and sometimes I just have to say NO to those around me. They might not get it but it’s what I [...]

I realize I have not posted lately about the fibromyalgia and headaches. I’m still pretty much playing the waiting game to see. With the Sinus CT showing significant abnormalities, I really don’t know what it means and won’t until I see an ENT in two weeks. The only problem with that is-I have another sinus [...]

I have seen specialists and new doctors over and over again since dealing with headaches and pain. I’ve been injected I don’t even know how many times. My hips are starting to have solid lumps from almost daily/every other day. I’ve been on Vicodin once while Toradol started to no longer work (yet they still [...]

Having chronic pain means many things change, and a lot of them are invisible. Unlike having cancer or being hurt in an accident, most people do not understand even a little about chronic pain and its effects, and of those that think they know, many are actually misinformed. In the spirit of informing those who [...]

So it has been several weeks since starting my fibromyalgia medication. The foggy feeling for the most part has decreased and it’s just random spells, I think it’s more of when I have overdone myself. I still get the yawning to the point my eyes water. I have been drinking more water as I feel [...]
