Oh my gosh how time gets away from me! I'm sorry to have just up and left you here without an update or anything! So much has been going on so let's get started with this update!
Since my last update I've had a couple more Dr appointments and continue to have a lower dose of Synthroid. I'm now on 112 mg/day. Honestly, I can't tell any difference from 150 mg to now but apparently my TSH is still not in the right range.
In other news, I decided around the holidays to go back to school this year. I started on Jan 5th and am almost done with my first class. I'm doing an online program to get my Bachelors degree in Social and Criminal Justice. I've always been interested in this field so I figured why not! It seemed like a good time to get started with most all of my health issues "under control" at this point, or should I say for now.
My FMS has been relatively "laying low" if you will. Now I say this only because I can compare what I previously had to deal with to now. Don't get me wrong, I still have my good days and bad days, but they are nothing compared to what I use to deal with. I still have a pretty high level of fatigue which I don't think I'll ever not have to deal with. Aches and pains, they come and go but are at a level that is manageable on a day to day basis. My hips tend to give me the most trouble with consistent pain and my guts are often "upset". I'm sure a lot of this sounds all too familiar to many who deal with the curse of chronic illness(es).
The most recent flare I've had to deal with is the tendon in my right arm flared up. Literally I was fine the night before and woke up with this pain that was pretty intense going from my hand to my elbow and especially worse with certain movements. This was terrible as I'm right handed and couldn't do anything that required lifting or twisting. Even lifting just a bottle of Gatorade was impossible for weeks. I had my chiropractor treat me using a technique called "Graston" - if you have never heard of it, click HERE to read about it. It's a strange kind of therapy but it works every time! I've had it done several times for different issues and each time it's solved the problem. With my arm, I had 2 sessions and the pain was noticeably less. Today, I have no pain in that area.
Speaking about chiropractors, I need to mention that at the end of the year I realized I had not been into my primary physician's office in an entire year! That was something to celebrate as it's just unheard of with all the health issues I've had to deal with. Other than my Endocrinologist dealing with my thyroid, I didn't need to see an MD for any kind of illness for an entire year .... and still going! I did however, see my chiropractor anywhere from 2x a week to 1x a month just depending on my needs and what was going on. I firmly believe in and highly recommend alternative treatments for people like us with chronic conditions. From the research I've done, alternative therapy is the way to go for managing these chronic illnesses that aren't necessarily seen as true illness. Those of us who deal with them day in and day out know otherwise.
When asked what I've done to "make yourself better" I can't really pinpoint just one thing. It's been a long road of recovery to get to the point I'm at today. Feeling good with occasional flares. listening to my body, taking time to do nothing when I need to, the right mixture of nutrients, protein, and therapy all play a role in healing the body and getting you to a good functioning state of being. I spent a lot of time researching and trying different methods until I started seeing good results. It's a hard long road but at the end of it the results are better health and an overall better quality of life. I know that at any moment I could crumple to the floor in pain and deal with that for an undetermined amount of time, but for the time being I will enjoy where I am with my health.
Like many people who deal with chronic illness, I belong to several online support groups. It gets hard to read everyone's postings about how terrible they are doing. In more cases than not, it's usually money that stops people from getting the help and treatment they need to feel better and be a contributing member of their community. So the cycle just continues, day in and day out so many people are suffering. My hope is still what it was when I first started this blog, that if I can help even just one person find a path to getting themselves to a better state of health, then I've succeeded in my mission.
I hope the New Year has found you well and that you are finding ways to manage in your day to day life. Whether you suffer from chronic illness or a loved one does, I encourage you to look back through my postings and try new things in an effort to feel better.
My vow to you today is that I will try to do better with my updates - I just get so busy in life that I forget to come post updates. I will make a conscious effort to update at least 1x a month if not more!
Until next time....to your health!

Seems like nothing has changed but when you look back, everything has changed updates for June, July, August, Sept, Oct, Nov.....
Greetings friends! Has it REALLY been since MAY that I've updated my blog?? UGH I'm terrible I know! So here comes a big update on what's been going on........
June, July and August proved to be busy with the kids and their variety of events. School was out for the summer and that meant daily volleyball practice, camps and games. That in itself keeps me on my toes. We spent nearly everyday at the school for volleyball and a couple times went on trips related to the school volleyball program. My daughter has such amazing dedication to the sport.
In July I tried to start exercising again- I was doing great for the first week, walking 3 miles a day on the treadmill at the gym. I set out to try and be more active, try to drop a few pounds, if nothing else, just walking a bit. After a week of doing this I was in so much pain and I couldn't walk! I ended up at my chiropractor, IN TEARS because of the pain in my hips. My right hip was the worst, with burning pain and literally every time I took a step it felt like it was locked up - it was terrible! I had some acupuncture, some cold laser therapy and an incredibly painful adjustment on the first visit. It felt so much better after that, I could actually walk out on my own with much less pain. After two days of this treatment I was so much better but you better bet I wasn't getting back on that treadmill!! FORGET THAT SHIT! I continued with this course of treatment for 3 days and the pain was finally gone. The Dr said it was my bursis in my hip flaring up from lack of use to sudden over use - whatever, I wasn't doing it again!
August 12th school started up again which also meant I went back to work with the kids going back to school. I love having the same schedule as the kids during the year and the summer off to be with them. Even though the pay working at a school is crappy, it's better than nothing and gives me a schedule to follow, otherwise I would literally not do much of anything day in and day out - that I know! It's hard sometimes to get up and go to work, really hard, but I do it because I know it's what I need, not only for the income I do get but for the schedule to follow.
September was a non-eventful month just getting back into the swing of a normal schedule everyday. I was extra tired trying to get back to waking up early and working all day but that's nothing new really, I don't think I ever really get use to it. Still not exercising - can't take the chance of having a major flare like I did in August - oh god that was awful! We are looking forward to a trip in October for fall break.
October we took a trip over fall break to California. We've been really looking forward to this. We planned to see family. We went and saw my husbands mom for a few days and then went to visit my dad as well as my sister and her family in Palm Springs. It was so great to see everyone and the kids. We all live in different areas so we don't get to see each other but maybe once a year. That's the drawback of living so far away from family. I am in Colorado with my family, my sister is in California with her family, my husbands family is in California (1 brother in Colorado but 8 hrs away) and my dad is in Oklahoma. So as you can see we are all spread out.
We were able to get some family pictures done while we were all together and that was wonderful.
Pretty good looking group if I do say so myself! I'm in the yellow shirt next to my handsome hubby in the blue - my son is in the light yellow shirt and my beautiful daughter is holding her baby cousin.
November to current
Thanksgiving was great, I cooked a nice meal with the help of my daughter. It was just us 4 but we had a feast and enough to feed us for another week to come!! I need to learn to cook a little less on holidays! Now it's that time of year again, the holidays are upon us. For some of us this is a time of great fun, visiting with friends and family and going to party after party......... and for others it's a reminder that we aren't what we use to be.
I use to go shopping, now I shop online for 99% of the gifts I give....I can't physically go to the store and be on my feet for hours on end walking around browsing and picking out that perfect item....I use to attend many parties during the months of November and December...now I simply have to RSVP a NO because I really don't have the energy to smile and be "merry" for several hours at a time...Trust me when I say it's not because I don't want to or that I don't enjoy the company, it's not even close to that.....it's because my body just won't handle it and I'll end up paying for it for days to follow with pain and exhaustion. It's just who I am now and I have to accept this as my reality. As I like to say "It is what it is"...........it's been and has, more than ever, become my life motto.
I know I've been terrible at keeping my entries current and for that I am truly sorry - I really need to figure out how to just get it done......honestly after I am done working each day I am just so exhausted to do much of anything. I'm sure the words "I'm tired" are over used in my home by me and my family is sick of hearing it, but it's true. I'm always tired, exhausted actually. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) has ruined me. I've dealt with the CFS longer than I have the Fibromyalgia (FMS) but the two combined is a doozy as you may know or can just imagine.
I have yet to find anything, natural or otherwise, that gives me any kind of good, long lasting energy or the feeling that I can take on my days without the lingering feeling of pure exhaustion. I did take Adderall XR for many years but it took a toll on me and my goal is to be off all RX medications and only treat my conditions as naturally as possible. It's really turning out to be difficult. I've tried everything I'm aware of that's out there. Maybe I'm missing something or maybe my body is just not "normal" and doesn't respond to traditional things. Vitamin B12 does nothing for me - I've tried regular injections with no luck. My chiropractor couldn't believe that I really had no luck with the weekly injections over a course of 5 weeks. Nope, nada.......abnormal response for most people
If anyone out there knows of something that could be helpful, I'm always willing to try if I haven't already. I really feel desperate at times. Along with the lack of energy comes a little weight gain because of the lack of motion. I could, if life with 2 teens allowed, sit in my recliner day in and day out, only getting up to eat, visit the bathroom and maybe get a drink. It's really sad for a 44 y/o to feel and act like a 94 y/o day in and out. I do my best with the cards I've been dealt.
As for my pain related to FMS....it's always been primarily in my hips, That's where it started and that's where it pops up the most. As I shared from August, I had a terrible flare from exercising and it was in my hips. My lower back and shoulders also have flares. The most common thing I'm dealing with now is numbness and tingling in my right arm and hand. At times the nerve that runs down the arm feels like it's on fire and that is just miserable. Aside from those things I'm doing ok, the exhaustion from CFS seems to be worse now than the FMS but both are ever present, every day.
I still see my chiropractor every week when possible, in reality though it's more like every 2 weeks when I'm feeling well enough. Without those treatments I don't think I would be in very good shape. Adjustments really help so much. More than anything else I've tried, keeping my body "straight" with regular adjustments seems to be the best treatment for ME. I highly recommend you give it a try if you aren't having any relief of your FMS pain. Find a good Chiropractor who is familiar with FMS and can effectively treat you. It's worth it!
I'm looking forward to a 2 week break coming up. December 19th - January 3rd is our "winter break" - we will of course be celebrating Christmas and New Years during that time. I'm most likely going to cook a nice meal for Christmas - probably just a ham, mac and cheese and salad. Nothing too terribly extravagant. My family will go to The Outback Steak House on Christmas Eve - it's a tradition we started a few years ago instead of cooking a big meal at home. I like having someone else do all the work and clean up! Since it's just the 4 of us, it really makes sense.
I hope this update finds you well and coping well. I know some might be having a hard time and I sincerely hope you find relief for yourself. If there is any advice I could give it would be to not give up on finding what helps you! Since FMS effects everyone so differently, you need to find what helps you - I know that what I suggest might not be your thing, I just know it's helped me get as much of my life back as possible and I will continue to search for more until I feel that I've exhausted every avenue.
I am going to leave you with a recent article I found - To your health and until next time!
FMS linked with Coronary Heart Disease
I find the above article interesting. I have heart palpitations pretty regularly but my Dr has never been too concerned about it. I also have family history of heart disease so I suspect as I get older I will start having regular heart check-ups to make sure my heart is not misbehaving.
June, July and August proved to be busy with the kids and their variety of events. School was out for the summer and that meant daily volleyball practice, camps and games.

All in 5 days - what a crazy week to say the least!
Well last week was quite eventful in my world! Settle in and let me tell you all about the craziness!
First, in case you missed my update earlier in the week, I was introduced to an absolutely fabulous product that helps people manage pain - of course I had to try it and I'm amazed at the results, no.....I'm in love, absolutely in love, with this product. It's a product you can get from a company called FGXpress - the product is "Powerstrips". These thin adhesive strips are nothing less than a gift sent from above. You can check it out here, or send me a message with any questions you might have. I've been using these on my chronic pain and have been enjoying NO PAIN since! Check it out! Seriously, do yourself a favor and check it out!
So as I'm enjoying my new pain free living I went along with my week and on Thursday my world was turned upside down. It was a snowy morning - typically in March and April we get lots of heavy wet snow between our bouts of warm spring weather. Thursday was no different than years past, heavy wet snow falling. I took my kids to school and noticed as we were driving that the snow was really heavy and wet - really slick in places on the roads. I dropped my kids off at school and headed home. On my way down the road to my house I had the foresight to put the van into a lower gear as the road was slick and I was getting ready to go down a pretty precarious hill that turns to the right towards the end. Before I knew it....whoosh.....I caught some slush and my van took off sliding sideways......I couldn't get it back in line or pull out of the slide and ended up plowing down a pole with a reflector on it and barreling into a large boulder right off the road - it was loud, it was scary......my van bounced from one large boulder to another with a thud and boom......when everything stopped I was fine for the most part, my coffee had flown down to the floor, many things that were in the center console were now at my feet.........I was shocked I'm sure........my airbags did not deploy so I got out the car to survey the damage - not looking good at all.......I got back in and called my husband and lost it - I started crying uncontrollably. I've never been in an accident and I was scared and didn't know what to do!
My husband assured me he would be on his way. Meanwhile, a neighbor in the area came running down to me to check to see if anyone was hurt and to inform me she had called the fire department - she said that I hit a boulder and moved it several feet from where it originally was so she was sure someone was hurt - thankfully that wasn't the case. I've included some pictures of the damage. It was about an hour of action from the time of the crash, fire truck, police, neighbors - and me......in tears and hysterical.
By the time my husband arrived it was just me and the van. He got me home and we called the insurance and set up a tow truck to come haul the van away. We also made an appointment to see the chiropractor that afternoon as I was already starting to feel the pain in my neck and back from the accident. I was concerned how my body would react to being jolted around....with fibro you just never know. We still don't know what the story is for the van - we kind of think it could be totaled as it's only worth about $5000 at this point (before the wreck)
As of now I'm seeing my chiropractor every other day to work on my body and healing. I'm pretty sore in my lower back, ribs and shoulders/neck. I keep getting more sore so it's a good thing I was able to get into see him. As soon as my inflammation goes down I will begin putting the pain strips on my pain to help with that. Until then I need to just use ice and biofreeze to help. It's really more stiff and sore than it is painful.
Saturday was my birthday. Considering everything it was a good day. I got my hair cut and the family took me out to a nice dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. That is my favorite place - mostly because they have the best cheesecake ever! I had my favorite dish, Alfredo Pasta with Chicken and sun dried tomatoes and for dessert I took home a red velvet cheesecake slice - it was DELICIOUS!
Today I went back to work after having a 2wk Spring break. It was tough to get up and going this morning as I woke up sick. Of course I didn't get sick all the time I was off work, had to get sick the day we go back. I managed to get my butt out of the house and stay at work all day even though all I wanted to do was come home and crawl in bed. Now I'm just on the couch, my entire body aches and it's all I can do to not go crawl into bed now - I think I will be doing that soon though.
So that's about it for this update - quite a bit to digest. The past 5 days have been a little on the crazy side - probably why I'm getting sick now. It always seems that if it's not one thing it's definitely always another!
Until next time, to your health! And NO PAIN!

Now I'm just on the couch, my entire body aches and it's all I can do to not go crawl into bed now - I think I will be doing that soon though.
So that's about it for this update - quite a bit to digest. The past 5 days have been a little on the crazy side - probably why I'm getting sick now. It always seems that if it's not one thing it's definitely always another!
Until next time, to your health! And NO PAIN!
