I never even got dressed yesterday. I crocheted 2 hats and had to take a break between almost every row because my hands and arms were hurting so much. I couldn't get to sleep last night. i finally took an ambien cr at 2am, the doc d/c'd them because I was sleep walking but I couldn't stand not being able to sleep. I hurt so bad I couldn't get comfy and was ready to scream. My daughter woke me up at 11am today asking if I was okay. I am still, two hours later, not dressed and have only taken my meds and been on the computer. I think i better go get dressed and have a some lunch. Pain is bearable today so far, my left leg, hip and ankle are the worst at the moment. I am hoping to get some housework done today.

Wow, I didn't realize that I never post in my journal. I had a pretty good day yesterday. I took my daughter to the eye doctor and went to a nephew's birthday party last night. Pain was pretty minimal and I actually got a full night's sleep the night before last, only woke up once to go potty. Last night I couldn't get to sleep but didn't wake up until 5am,had 4 hrs of straight through sleep. I'm not too bad today but I just can't get myself off my butt, I guess it's only 8:45am but I have to get my packing done.
I am on temp disability right now. I don't know what I am going to do after this month end, which is the end of my 90 days. I feel some days that I might be able to do a sit down job and most days I'm not so sure. I just read a friend's post and she said she wondered how other fibro sufferers worked, my thoughts exactly. Am I just lazy or scared? I am moving to a different apt the weekend before halloween to get my rent down. My house is full of unpacked boxes and messes and I just can't get myself moving, I'll probably be rushing at the last minute like usual. I'm not sure how many people I have to help me move, I am hoping not just my ex-husband. He will drive me crazy being with him all day...
I had a bad reaction to restarting amitriptyline and gabapentin last week, see my post: symptoms of drunkeness. I dc'd the meds and doc started me on lyrica a couple days ago. We'll see how it goes, as usual, side effect is weight gain. I'm already fat and I don't want to get bigger. At one time I was a size 3 and now I can barely fit in a 16 and growing. Everyone that sees me lately immediately mentions my weight, I hate it. I guess there could be worse things in life. I should be grateful for what I do have.

I just wanted to mention how grateful I am for this site. There are such caring people here and I want to thank especially those who have invited me to be their friends. Thank you for the hugs and the support.

Doing okay today, I was a little emotional yesterday but I made it through. I didn't do too much today, should have been packing for my move to new apt end of month. I took a friend to the doctor this am and was in chat room off and on most of day. Pain level pretty good again today. Really tired though, I think it's the Lyrica I started this week. I had a hard time getting to sleep last night but slept for 6 hours without waking up!!!! That beat my record from the night before of 4 hours. Things are looking up! Found out I get the pleasure of my son's company for 2 weekends this month. He and his wife are coming next weekend and then the last weekend by himself to help me move. What a good kid! My daughter is too! They are what keeps me going!!!
