Ok - Last Thursday I saw the Nurse Practitioner about my peeling fingers & the pain in my right leg. Yeah, not that productive. Fingers - yet another form of Eczema. *yay*. My leg, well...hmmm.. she said she knew it wasn't a clot, which I didn't even thing of!!, but she doesn't know for sure since....you guessed it... it could be because of my Fibromyalgia or Osteoarthritis!! Wow. You know just because I have these things doesn't mean everything that is painful for me is because of these things!! Does anyone out there have that same problem???
Saturday morning I woke up with a shearing pain above my right eye & temple. I get these periodically. The hurt like hell (the most painful thing I have ever felt) & none of the doctors I see seem to worry about them at all. I took some Migraine pain meds & slept for hours. I felt better after I got up.
Well Saturday afternoon & on was nice! We went up to Middleton, we being Garrick, myself & Jolene, and worked the garden. I want the first frost!! Sounds weird, but we have Kale & Parsnips that can't be harvested until the first frost. Also at that point, my Dad wants us to harvest all the tomatoes to ripen inside. For those who are not in the know.. my fathers tomatoes have taken over the garden and YET only the cherry tomatoes & the yellow pear tomatoes are ripening. After the garden we went to Keith & Brooke's cookout. Their house is amazing! I wish Garrick & I can get one. Unfortunately, I first have to get Social Security, we need to clean up more of our bills & then save up the down payment before we can even start to look at land or houses. We have decided we want to go green, you know solar energy & such. That's the closest we are to a house....thinking about it. Anyway, at the party was Steve & Karen, Jolene, & Cari & Jon. And the reason I am boring all of you with this information is because I felt great during the party. I never feel good at parties for some reason, but this time... I seemed... healthy! THEN CAME SATURDAY OVERNIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING...
Sunday.... Have I mentioned that one of the side effects you can have with Fibromyalgia is IBS? Do you know what that is?? If not, it is Irritable Bowel Syndrome. i.e. YUCK! That was @ 11:30-2am. We needed to get up at 6am for the race (Louden - New Hampshire Motor Speedway - NASCAR). I had like only 3 hours of sleep with a waking up Migraine. So I took the meds on top of not much sleep. The race was great. No blowout, exciting until the end. (Thanks Joanne for letting us use your scanner!!) Funny thing though, I felt myself starting to nod off numerous times..IN THE MIDDLE OF A NASCAR RACE.. a very loud race. What is up with that?? So with that... Tony Stewart won by the way... I am exhausted... need sleep NOW! Night all. Christy
