This morning (20/05/2019) I woke up in crippling pain. Just standing on my two feet hurt enough for me to fall over. The pain is more in my spine, but for some reason goes all the way down into my legs and heels. I have been grabbing onto furniture in order to move around the…

Vision Health

Update on Living with Fibromyalgia
May 12th is Fibromyalgia Awareness Day. I have been living with Fibromyalgia since 2014 when it was first diagnosed. Over the years I have started to learn how to live with it and thought I would share some of the things that have happened over the years and the tips that have helped me. I…
Learning About Myself
So, to conclude Mental Health Awareness Week (Even though we should be following through on this daily). I wanted to give you guys a follow-up on some things I have went through, how they are impacting my mental health and what I am doing to fix them. First thing, I realized about a year ago…
Chronic Pain and Mental Health

Sleep Addict

Sunday Fun Day: MRI
Sunday April 28th, I had a doctor’s appointment to go to the hospital for another MRI on my back. The only difference with this MRI VS my other MRI’s is that this one was the first one post-car accident. My other MRI’s were done before the car accident. But knowing by the Xray images have…
Job Worries with Chronic Pain

Insomniac Zombie
Good Evening…or Morning…? So it is close to 1am and I am still nowhere near sleepy. Instead, I feel like I’ve been hit with a frying pan and slowly becoming a zombie. This is the second night IN A ROW… I have been suffering from insomnia. While last night I wasn’t doing much. Instead…
Drained.
So, I have been drained lately. If you read my previous post (Bursting Sponge) you would know. I don’t know why that is. It could easily be the pain taking a toll of my body. Or finals approaching. Schedule changes. Even a mixture of all the above. There is one thing that has caught…
