Hi everyone, I'm 26 with a recent #Fibromyalgia diagnosis. This is my first post on here and I'm not sure how to go about it. Do I talk about the #Pain I don't know how to describe to my loved ones (does "it feels like my arm is broken" sound too dramatic? or someone is stabbing me with knitting needles and knives and pins... I feel like the Tin man from The Wizard of Oz.... before he got oil). The past month has been crappy because of changing weather and storms (oh and we just got snow) and I know I need an increase or change in meds but the idea of planning a doctors visit while my husband is working overwhelms me. ....Or do I talk about how I need to go back to work and deal with people and stuff because we are living paycheck to paycheck?....Or the wellmeaning friends who say feel better soon when I post about a #fibroflare? My positive points right now are: we moved into a better unit in our building and I have an adorable Sphynx kitten to keep me company. Negatives: I feel like crap but need to organize this house because it's chaos and my husband is out there working hard and I know he'll appreciate coming home to a home and not a mess. oh and my lovely kitten pooed in her kennel because I woke up really late and I have yet to clean it. So far today my accomplishments consist or making coffee, bathing my kitten, drinking a cup of coffee while laying on the couch. At least this unit is sunny and bright (probably why I'm waking up at 10 instead of 12) whereas the old one was ground level and felt like a dungeon. Well I've babbled enough, looking forward to any comments you might have.
