Monday update
so... about Saturday... i usually have some form of a migraine almost daily with just the sound and light sensitivity, but every now and then the migraine gets pretty bad where i'm just plain sick. i should have known better cuz i had warning signs when i woke up that morning. i had the slight head ache with some vertigo. the vertigo should have convinced me enough to stop everything and lay dow. but no, i was too stubborn to do that, so i went to the beach and when i felt worse i should have stopped there. but no, i couldn't. i feel like kicking my self in the ass. Matthew told me not to do anything else but i wanted to paint a shirt out side, so i did that. and i should have listened to him cuz he was right, the fumes made it WAY worse!! what was I thinking?? well my younger brother's birthday party was supposed ro be Sat night. and we were supposed to take him to Dave n Buster's. But we had to cancel it thanks to me and my stupid migraine! so poor Matthew had to put up with my grouchy attitude and he is so sweet and even made super cheesey mac n cheese. I could only eat a little bit cuz of my horrible nausea, but he never cooks and so i just had to eat some. especially since i usuallu love mac n cheese. Sunday...it was raining everywhere all over the island. no beach day for us. so we just stayed at home and watched a movie, Matt played video games while i drew and carved out stencils for my shirts. I made him one, too. Sunday night, mom and I cooked a lamb leg roast. MM-MMM! it was delicious! and my hunny loved it too! Today...I went to my usual VA appt with the chronic pain group and then stopped by the American Legion. He told me that he is trying to get me a volunteer VA ID for me so that i will have access to the medical library upstairs in the hospital. that way if i ever need to look anything up or reffrence it (especially for my FM group) i will have the access! whoohoo! well ... everyone have a great rest of the week and i hope you all are blessed with pain free days!!

OMG, I love leg of lamb but don\'t have it alot because my family always complains about it. They do actually enjoy it, but when I tell them what it is, I get faces. How do you cook it, like what is your recipe? My mom didn\'t live long enough for me to get all her recipes and such, so most times I just wing it. I get daily headaches too. Wish there was somthing to do about it but I\'ve been through most of the options and there aren\'t any left :/ Hope you have a good week :o)
i posted a bunch of recipes on the fibro page under :\"post your fav recipes here\" thread.
other than that, i feel a fibro flare coming on... the burning and muscle pain... last night it hurt just for me to pop a pill out of it\'s foil bubble. the simplest thing hurts. ugh, not a good sign
man, do I hear you about the migraines. it\'s so easy to be stubborn and make yourself worse, knowing what it will do to you. yet you want to live your life. i totally hear you, sweetie. ((hugs)) my special girl. talk to you soon.
Migraines SUCK! I\'ve had them and I always feel hollow after they\'ve passed, completely drained as if I\'d climbed a mountain but certainly not fun. My speech even gets slurred when I get them. But sometimes I\'ve done just what you did - tried to be a trooper and just made it worse.
Sounds like things are coming along nicely for your group, which is great news. I\'m happy for you!
