Yay! Survived Thanksgiving! One down, one to go! The pain was there, but I still managed. Thank you, God!  Daughter is going to need help for quite awhile with her babies. That really stinks, but she would help me if I needed it, so gotta do it. Besides, she IS my daughter. Family helps family, right? Well, most of the time. I am doing pretty well today. It is sooo dang cold today. I really hate it but am going to try to face winter with a better outlook this year and see if it helps. Who knows, maybe it's true about the mind/body connection. I am hoping so. Winter really kills me. Will see how it goes with the new attitude.  I don't know if it's the Lyrica, or the overeating on Thanksgiving. Probably a bit of both, but I managed to put back on a few pounds...DARN IT! I notice that I have a lot of swelling in my hands in the morning, so I think part of it is the Lyrica. Doc says not to worry, I have a diuretic in my blood pressure med. Yesterday, I had a check up and doc decided to have some lab work done. He ordered a RA panel, and some others. One was an antigen, gotta see what that is. Also had a sed rate done, because mine is usually a bit on the high side. Has been since dxed with the fibo. Hopefully all turns out well! Should know with in a few days. Hugs to all. Have a great day!
