Only over 2 years since my last post. So maybe it isn't a good idea for someone with Fibromyalgia to keep a blog because goodness knows we don't know how we feel day to day and I for one do not like to commit to anything. But reading a few post last week from others with the same illness reminded me that maybe I could possibly help someone else along the way.
The past couple of months I have had signs of the facial neuralgia again. This would be the second time it has flared up in the past year. This time it has hung around much longer leading the doctor to place me on long term medication instead of quick relief pain medication. So the past two weeks have been a nightmare adjusting to medications. Anti seizure medications. They are powerful medications. I am finally on just one pill at bedtime. Among all the other symptoms that come with years of Fibromyalgia, being super sensitive to medications is one of them. We are going to try just that for a while. I am also experiencing heart palpitations daily that are very uncomfortable to which we are have increased my medications for that and I'm not happy taking more pills.
I'm hoping to have some weight loss surgery this Fall as soon as I can save up my deductibles and I'm sure the weight loss will help with the pain in my legs. My sleep was better till the facial pain. We put up my first ever swimming pool this summer and I must say it greatly helped with my physical and emotional well being. I have not gotten a tan in years. It was nice to have a tan on my face and legs again. I will miss it till next year. It was wonderful walking and moving underwater where there was no pain and just freedom to move, like floating on air.
