I am about to rip my body apart piece by piece.
I am so goddamn sick of having FM. I'm sick of a different part of my body hurting every day. I always smell like a medicine cabinet these days because of all the aspercreme and icyhot. FUCK. I swear. If one more thing breaks, I'm done with all of it.
It's NOT SEXY.
Also, what the fuck is with this heat wave? It's really nice to see you, summer, but I am really kind of over your stifling humidity. Not even A/C is helping!
I think it's Lunesta time. Anyone have anything fun to do this weekend for which they would like company? I'm available. All weekend. Again.

"The defining symptoms of fibromyalgia are chronic, widespread pain, fatigue, and heightened pain in response to pressure (allodynia). Other symptoms may include tingling of the skin, prolonged muscle spasms, weakness in the limbs, nerve pain, functional bowel disturbances, and chronic sleep disturbances.
Many patients experience cognitive dysfunction (known as "brain fog" or "fibrofog"), which may be characterized by impaired concentration, problems with short and long-term memory, short-term memory consolidation, impaired speed of performance, inability to multi-task, cognitive overload, diminished attention span, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.
Other symptoms often attributed to fibromyalgia that may possibly be due to a comorbid disorder include myofascial pain syndrome also referred to as Chronic Myofascial Pain...genitourinary symptoms and interstitial cystitis, dermatological disorders, headaches, myoclonic twitches, and symptomatic hypoglycemia. Although fibromyalgia is classified based on the presence of chronic widespread pain, pain may also be localized in areas such as the shoulders, neck, low back, hips, or other areas."
In short, my body hates itself and there's really no effective treatment other than treating the SYMPTOMS, which is pretty much useless when it's a new symptom every day. I deal with it as best I can, but it's quite difficult on days like this when it's an extreme temperature.
I promise I don't usually whine so much.
