The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
Do you feel equal? Like, balanced?
Me, either.
But Spring has SPRUNG.
I'm still not regaining weight, but gee, let's think why ---- still doing everything, then Hubby said, hey, great idea, youi'll relax a lot with your indoor veggie garden.
Me? Mine? Wait, it was "us" three days ago! No pressure, just grow enough inside to feed us?!
PTSD is off the cahrts and guess what...

Tariffs bit. My epilepsy med is no longer stocked within 50 to 70 miles of me. "Too cost ineffective". Why? The ten percent increase in price due to tariffs.
Problem: This med is notoriously fussy. If you even switch from brand-name to generic, you need months of time and supervision, and can have horrible side effects (including severe seizures, which is how my sister died and I once nearly did, so no thanks).
I have four days to find the right stuff. Or I'm .... well, if I'm gone, I'm gone, obvs. I survived the stress of it in my 20s, but that's nearly 30 years ago, and a bad seizure killed my athletic sister in her 20s. I still remember hearing paramedics say "drive faster, I don't want the to do the paperwork if she dies on us". Then I went dark and left my body. No joke. I came back a while later, but I scared the paramedics.
I really dont' wanna do that again.

So on that note, lots of love and hugs to all. I hope to still be here by Tuesday! :-)

Another day, another ouchie?My bruised achilles tendon (don't ask) makes my foot numb. Wonky on meds, whacked it.Now, as to fibro:A lot of reports are going around some parts of social media that fibro (and dang near anything else) are caused by post-Covid, post-flu, post-vaccinations, post-pick-something.1. Your risk of death or serious complications beyond "ow, that shot hurt!" are typically...

Today (August 8) is INternational Cat Day. Don't click away! International DOG day is August 26! Both were created to raise aweareness and funds for the well-being of critters. We have many such dayts, to the pint that every day is like an old Catholic saints' day calendar: Take your pick!I'm home, obvs, and still ill. Left calf and foot not great after a tangle-fall, but i'll live. Just can't...
It's actually really nice out and for the life of me, I can’t motivate myself to get up and walk Miki again. I also need to go grocery shopping. Nox and Haco are on top of me, so I'm stuck here now. I wish I could just stay here all day, or all weekend but I have to adult.
This morning Tumble ventured out of his little house while I was right outside the door to the porch. That's pretty big for him-hell come near me for treats, but usually is too scared to leave his safe space. He's poked his head out but up to now he would look at me for a minute and retreat back in. He's making progress for sure. I never did get around to emailing the rescue, but the owner is actually bringing her cat in on Monday, so I'll just tell her then.
April 4th is drop dead Daye for tariffs so buy what u need before then k???
Jp out
Sorry ..love to all...no energy
Today was more laundry and some cleaning. I did a little decorating too. I had two things that needed to be hung up. So, although I hate not being to eyeball things from a distance before nails are driven in the wall, I did it. I'm pleased with the results.
We have rain and snow arriving in about 3 hours. I can tell. I am starting to feel more crappy than usual.
Going to take a shower and call it a day. Waves!
