This is a little story about me. I have never told my story before, but have realised that maybe my story is important to tell. Not that it's important for anyone to read it, but maybe just important for me to tell it to myself. So this is a little blog about where i've been and where I'm going. And all the little bits in between that make up my life.

It’s my birthday!

Yay!

I have a chronic pain condition that may or may not be fibro, WHO KNOWS, YAYYY. After 6 months of back and forth, the rheumatologist gave me a prescription for cyclobenzaprine to help me sleep, and after we found out that it helped, she wrote a recommendation to my GP. The GP took one look at it and said he doesn’t like constantly prescribing it to people, and he wouldn’t want me to become dependent on it, so he gave me a 21 day prescription with no refills unless he authorizes them. I don’t see him for 7 weeks.

This is about the worst thing in the world. Just knowing there is relief out there, but having someone not help you for such ridiculous reasons is just the abosulute pits. And when it comes to people who are legitimately ill/disabled and suffering kind of fail to see why the risk of dependence is an issue… it’s not like they are SO well off now anyway, so at worst, you have a person with a different issue, but it’s not like leaving them with so little or nothing to handle their symptoms means they can live life to the fullest as they are. Sometimes taking risks to treat symptons is necessary because with chronic illness people often don’t have a lot to lose. (I hope that all makes enough sense, it’s hard to explain what is in my head properly. >.

Or, y’know, maybe I’m miserable and just haven’t seen anyone for a prescription yet. That’s also possible.

A day in the life: House cleaning with Fibromyalgia →

heathersday:

Housework is bad enough when you don’t have fibromyalgia, but when you do, that is another story.

Below are some things I have found to make it easier for me:

  • Clear the clutter – I try to make sure I am always clearing up the clutter. I hate clutter to begin with, but it does make it easier…

cause love is free and life is cheap...: The problem with chronic illness →

some-atoms:

Until you’re ill, health isn’t something anyone thinks about because why would you. Most things like breathing or being awake or just generally not being in pain, are automatic. You don’t notice how much you breath in until your lungs hurt. And it’s not taking things for granted…
