like you were just banging your head into a tree?
I saw my gp yesterday who says I have severe fibro (duh) and severe osteoarthritis. She says I will feel better if I go on a certain diet and start taking certain supplements. I can barely afford my gluten free diet and supplements I am on now. I finally made arrangements to keep my cell phone but my lose my landline and internet due to no pay. I just don't have as much coming in as bills. I'm so frustrated. I had some hope and lost it cause I can't afford it. Called my sister in law cause my usual support system wasn't home and she screamed at me cause the whole world needs two jobs to make it and I don't have even one and I complain about money. I cried myself to sleep. Today I saw my neurologist and she was so nice and she is trying to get my headaches straightened out, hopefully get me on some pills so I can take something when I am out alone instead of suffering because of my shots make me sick so I can't tke them and drive. Tomorrow My cat get fixed and I feel like a worried mother.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
