Hard painful night

Ladydiva

The pain is hard, swollen right hand, shoulders all acrosss one end to the other swollen. 4:00 am woke from pain tired of taken pills so dealing with it. Living here in Michigan the winter sucks, the cold hits the body and make fibro harder to deal with. I no why not move well it takes money and nowing where to go, so mean while Jesus will always be my source to dealing with this pain but it works to keeping my mind together beause pain can make you fall apart. I really enjoy talking to you all and hearing your advises. Like i said before  it helps knowing you are not alone and a person can express themselves.

Hi Ladydiva, I don't know how you live up there where it is so cold. I can't handle the cold at all,and I still have problems with the cold in Oklahoma, LOL. I use heating pads all the time, and a heating blanket, which help my pain tremendously. I don't know if you have medical marijuana up there, but we have it here now, and it has been a huge help for me but mainly at night. It makes me a little weak feeling and tired, but boy it helps calm the pain. And of course reading God's word throughout the day is my solid rock of sanity. When I'm feeling anxious and unable to handle it, I know I haven't been in his word enough. Today is one of those days, way too busy yesterday I forgot to read my bible plans.

Sending you prayers and I hope things improve for you. I better get ready for church. :-)

    I'nm exhausted. This doxycycline thing has ripped me apart and I'm eating crackers  and water. I can't take (anything) or eat (anything) except saltines and toast and maybe unbuttered watery mashed potatoes. Are we sure the cure isn't worse than the possible disease?!?!And a week to go. ***Fun cures that WERE worse than the disease:ARsenic. Popular against STDs, which just compounded misery...
