confusing... Mood
Thursday, August 20, 2009
It is so often hard for me to decipher the difference between my Sjogren's syndrome and the fibromyalgia.  I get these sudden horrible pains in my face and glands all the time.  They are so bad sometimes they bring tears to my eyes (believe or not with Sjogren's I have some tears thanks to Restasis).  Yes I could put heat or ice on it, and it does help, but who wants to walk around like that all day.  It's very unpredictable and sudden.  I am shocked by it sometimes still, then I think to myself, "why are you suprised?  This happens every day."  Yet still somehow I am.  I guess sometimes I just want to forget, but the damn disease keeps on reminding me.  OK now I feel a little better :)

    Oh my! This is a frustrating way to live! It is hard to get outside of yourself. I've been thinking about this very thing. Every morning I wake up wondering what "it" is going to be like today! Everything depends on how I feel. Hang in there. Keep going! What else is there to do? We sure can't give up. Well! Maybe for a couple minutes! I will pray for you right now. Love, Pam
