What a Crappy Weekend:

Okay.  Saturday morning was okay, health wise.  I picked up my sister Kathy & niece Jenna, and we went to the farmers market in Portsmouth, NH.  It was a nice drive (beautiful weather).  Got the white corn, peaches & beets I was looking for.  After, we went down to Prescott Park & Pierce Island so Kathy can see the changes to this town we lived in so many years ago.  It was while walking the gardens at Prescott Park when I started feeling really, really tired.  I mean sleepy tired.  What's up with that? After dropping them off at their apartment in Lee, I ran an errand to Walmart in Epping.  Again, really tired.  By the time I made it to the pharmacy in Raymond, I was chit-chatting with Jim, the Pharmacist, and he said that if I'm on time-release medications, that could cause it.  I also knew that I sometimes had this happen with my Fibromyalgia before, even though I haven't found that symptom anywhere online.  (I only have found "fatigue" - not like that's vague).

So I get home &... well....sleep.  That evening we go to Doug's to game (Dresden) & by 9pm... I was ready to leave.  My legs & arms are sore to the point of pain.  I'm sweating (another symptom not found online) and starting to get a little bit of a headache.  Afraid my headache would turn into a migraine I had the game stop @ 10pm.

Didn't sleep well that night... Eventually slept during the day.  I ended up not able to go with my husband, Garrick, to his Mom's birthday dinner.  **I HATE MISSING FAMILY EVENTS LIKE THIS!**  And I didn't fall asleep again until this morning at 5:30am.  **WTF??**  I slept some this morning as well.. We had to cancel going to my parents house to work on the garden we are doing with them.  My parents understood though, my Mom is going through the same thing I am.  She also has Fibromyalgia, & our doctor, Dr. Kunz, has speculated that I inherited it from her.

So now, I am feeling alot better. I'm sitting cross-legged without pain.  My osteoarthritis is not inflamed anymore (this happens when I have a bad FMS attack).  Right now I have a bit of a headache.  Hopefully I will be okay for cards at our friends, Dave & Kristin.

Anyone out there have issues like these??  Or is it just me?
