(ok, getting off my soap box now)
No, no.. please stay!!
I need to be reminded of these things π€ͺ
in my case, it is not just the fibro pain, tho.. it is arthritic pain and neuropathy as well.. yeah, triple whammy, Whoohoo! Party! π₯³
if it was just one of these things, i could probably handle it without even thinking about it.. two, eh.. a little tougher, but still mostly manageable... but all three all at once? sometimes it is just a bit much. been bumping up against 9-9.5 pretty regularly on our favorite scale..
been doing my darnedest to stay the path since weaning off the sertraline, despite the withdrawal symptoms.. but have also been dealing with all 3 things flaring up in succession and staying flared up... first the Fibro aches & pains with around the knees being the worst, and brain fog..... then Neuropathy kicked in, and not just the simple "pins & needles" oh no.. getting intense "burning" stabs in random places, too... and then Arthritis decides to join the party.. my hands/fingers ache so much right now that it is hard to type.. Neck has been giving me fits in the form of tense muscles, achy shoulders and neuropathic pains down the arms, and ice pick headaches.. those are just the best! π
Still coping with the "brain zaps" (w/audio), too...
I can hardly wait for that first disability payment to hit - have been researching local massage therapists - I really need a serious massage.. deep tissue style - yes it hurts, but a good hurt when done right.. and when it is over it feels SO much better... the guy i used to go to some years ago passed away last year.. he was good.. had magic hands.
