Pain = Buying Tons of Books
I figured out when I have a flare-up or my knee decides to bum out for the day, my mom used to placate me with books or other gems that shine brightly in this world regardless of the pain. My mom did this for three years before I was diagnosed with all my diseases and disorders. She is the one that instilled in me a love of books and reading to cope with my pain, which has now manifested into an...

Hate to be melodramatic...
but I am just so good at it. Pretty sure all my hopes of Graduate School are bust. Commence the crying, bad sitcom watching, and lots of junk food.

Since you've been posting so much poetry,
outonalimbvii: the English major in me is coming out! Here’s a quote I think you’ll like. “Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of dictionary.” ~Khalil Gibran That’s me! Stupid Tumblr hates me :(

Quick Update!
I am horrible at trying to articulate how I feel lately, about anything and everything. It becomes a garbled mess that no one but my mother seems to understand and she is iffy sometimes. This hurts… How does it hurt? Umm, it just does? I think… No, I know… Oh hell, just whatever. That thingy… you know what I’m talking about, the thingy! Well, it hurts...

Lalalala...So much pain... Lalala
A week and a half until I see the rheumatologist and my knee is beyond swollen! Somehow, tramadol is not cutting the pain and PT definitely killed me today. My ITB (a ligament that runs down your leg, hip to knee) had to be stretched today… Whoever thought it was a good idea to stretch said ligament on a Fibromyalgia patient with a foam roller and a tough hand should feel what I felt today. ...

potsiesunite: Do people with FMS/CFS really take Lyrica? I’m on night 4 of Lyrica, and although my pain has been a little bit less, the other problems it causes really aren’t worth it. Day 1) • Severe and unbearable vertigo that did not go away for 10 hours. • Insomnia due to unbearable vertigo Day 2) •… Thought I should just chime in, because without Lyrica, I would not be able to...

I would not be surprised...
if I had bone cancer the way my arthritis flare-up has been today. Brutal does not even cover the pain… Time for painkillers and bed.
