I've asked God is there a better learning curve for me; apparently not for me. <br /><br />Our bodies can take a lot - our brains do not want to but when you have to, you learn to accept even if you don't like it. <br /><br />Your wiseassness {not yet a word} helps keep it all in perspective and one day you will see your race was run and won because you did not give up....love you, mommatriarchShenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07684058360125931809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4949716648682973656.post-58385958582596161232010-12-25T23:01:38.214-08:002010-12-25T23:01:38.214-08:00Another hit-the-nail-on-the-head post, Pat. The q...Another hit-the-nail-on-the-head post, Pat. The question I get asked the most when I bring up my fibromyalgia is: "Don't they have pills you can take for that?" And I always have to explain that yes, they do, or so I've heard, but I don't have insurance, and even so, I'd rather not start taking pills quite yet, and I've also heard that the pills sometimes don't work, and who knows- the side effects could be worse than the symptoms. And then I have to explain that I don't have just fibromyalgia, and the other things can't be fixed with just a pill, and blah blah blah. Most often, people don't really want to know the details, or the real answers- they still walk away thinking that I'm making excuses, or that I'm a hypochondriac. As I sit here tonight, reading your post, my body is aching from head to toe from having the nerve to spend so much time the last three days with family and friends, all the while trying to ignore the sharp and spreading pain from the cysts on my ovaries that come and go every single month, trying to ignore that every time I got up from a couch to dare to walk across a room I walked like an 80 year old woman because of the plantar fasciitis. I'm thankful that it wasn't worse, that I was able to enjoy this holiday season so fully. I'm thankful that you are okay- the word "clot" scares me and I don't like it. I'm hopeful for the new year, that you and I and our friends and family who also suffer daily will find better ways to deal with our pain, and to go on day to day, and to deal with our well meaning friends and family who do not suffer, lol! Anyway, great post again, Pat. Merry Christmas, and I hope you really are better and that nothing serious comes of this...!Girl Resilienthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16518733914515467525noreply@blogger.com
