Sadista & Marksy's crazy kitteh's...
and here's a pic of me being my silly self...
I soooo lmao when I saw that pic!
And, here's another silly one...
I am really trying to muster up some energy. I feel soooooooo drained, and I can't seem to find some of that energy I get sometimes like when I'm bouncing off the wallz. I've been feeling kinda wierd and strange lately. I don't really know how to describe it. My sleep has been uneffective; my body, muscles, and joints ache; I got a migraine yesterday, and have been plagued with muscle spasms a lot lately. There hasn't been really too much that I've been particularly happy about. I mean I have my moments, but I eventually feel blah again. I know some or a lot of it has to do with me having fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed with it about 3 yrs ago, and my mom (who passed away in 1999) had it, too. She died the day before Thanksgiving that year, and probably one reason I get so depressed this time of year...every year. I just saw an ad on tv yesterday, until now, there has been no medication FDA approved for fibromyalgia, but now there is one...called Lyrica. I imagine it's probably outrageously expensive as new drugs are. I have to take so many meds already, and feel like a zombie most of the time anyway.
Another thing that has been bothering me lately...well to say this I'll give a brief synopsis first...I was injured on the job about 4 1/2 yrs ago, had 2 neck surgeries with 2 bones fused in my neck and metal plating on the vertebrae, and the workers comp insurance is now required to continue my medical treatment of anything medical I need relating to my injury for the remainer of my life. Well, I had a doctor...a good doctor that I had bonded with and developed a good trust with. He got promoted a few months ago to a rehabilitation position and all his patients were referred to other doctors. So, I went to this new doctor last week, and it really freaked me out. He did a total exam on me and brought up a lot of issues with me that he was concerned about...basically wanting to start from scratch and start over with everything. Then, he says he wants to change my medication, and I got scared because the thought of possibly having to go through some kind of adjustment period with meds and being in more pain really scares me. My pain never goes away, but my meds make it tolerable. He also wants to send me for a psychological evaluation, so I hope that won't open a whole other can of worms. I have to go back to him next week, and I'm not looking forward to it.
Anyway, I guess that's all for now...I can't type anymore right now because of the muscle spasms going on in my neck and shoulders, so I'm going to take some meds and catch a lengthy nap.

That's too bad about the doctor -- I just had to change doctors over the summer, and it was a pain (and that was just a General Practitioner) -- best of luck with everything! Hope it all goes well...
I just clicked on my wishlist link and it works...does anything happen when you click on it? Maybe it's cause I have it set on private?
