This is my story of my daily life with the struggles of Fibromyalgia. The one thing I always hear is I can't move with this disease and I hope to prove this wrong for myself by moving & working every day!

Long long week
Okay so I am back from another work week of travel. To say I am exhausted is to say the least. As I sit here I am so tired I can barley type and my leg is killing me. My favorite saying for this is just please cut it off it would feel so much better if someone would. Besides driving today I also went to aqua therapy today and although I know this will/is suppose to help me with the pain doing that and the long drive makes it really hard on me. I just have to remember to keep going one day at at time. If only I could get some rest but this weekend will be busy as well, DJ will be 10 on Monday so we are having a small birthday party for him then our neighbor, Kerry, will be 2 on Sunday so we will be going to a birthday party for her as well. Then it is back to another work week here before I go out for another travel week on March 8th. Does it ever stop??

I am back!!

Okay so it has been awhile since I have posted and alot has changed! It has been a year of alot of changes for us. First we have lost both of our kitty's and we are very sad by this but we have now filled our house with 2 dogs. Sadie has been with us for a long time but we added a new puppy to the mix Bella. She is just a mess but very lovable! Second is how much our kids have gown in this year. Ashley is now driving and will be attending her junior prom very soon. This makes me feel very old! She is now trying to figure out what college she will soon be attending, and yes this also makes me very sad and feeling very old! DJ is growing up very fast and still keeps us laughing at all times. Nothing seems to surprise us anymore what he will come up with. We still have problems getting him to clean his room or to even help us out around the house but we still love him. He will reach the double digits in age in 1 week and I just can't believe how fast the time has gone with him as well. As far as David & I we are just as strong together as we have ever been. In fact I would say we are even stronger. The love we have for each never seems to fade no matter how rough it gets and for this I thank God everyday. As far as me I was recently diagnosed with Fibromaylgia and I am trying very hard to adjust to this. It is very painful and exhausting disease. You have intense pain and fatigue everyday with this diagnoses. What I find most discouraging with Fibromaylgia is when you see so many doctors for them to either say to you yes you have this problem but we don't treat it and or no we don't believe this is a disease one can have. So this last week I have started Aqua therapy for this and use my TENS unit alot but the pain is so bad that most weekends I spend on my couch being exhausted from working all week and in so much pain from working as well. But somehow I find the strength to get up every morning and face the changes that come towards me.
