Ugh!

It's been one heck of a week already, and we just passed the halfway mark.  My stepdaughter had been here visiting but went home this past Saturday.  We had some rainy weather, and man alive did my fibro flare up!  Yeah, well needless to say, pain and anger go hand-in-hand with my flare ups - don't know if it's the bipolar kicking in or just regular reactions to the change in weather causing the flares.  

I'm a little concerned because I'm having pain on/in my belly where my OmniPods have been placed in the past.  I really think I am going to call the company today and ask about this; I've called my CDE but have had no luck getting her to call me back so far.  I see her next week, but I'm so OCD that I want answers right now... rofl  Yesterday, when it was time to change my pod, I placed it on my right upper thigh - so far, so good.  I haven't caught it or bumped it on anything, which is a small miracle considering how clumsy I am these days.

In a bit, I'm headed to the chiropractor.  I hired a new one last week - nothing against my old chiro at all except for the fact that it was a rare occasion when he manually adjusted me, and the pain was not relenting at all.  =(  I took a chance going to this new chiro, but he has worked wonders in just the past week or so.  My mid-back still is painful and "locked up", but with each session, it gets a little better.  I enjoy the traction, and during my last visit, they did ultrasound to help with the locked up muscles and joints in my mid-back.  I'm hoping they will do it again today, and then I think I will go tan before heading home for a nap.

Lately, I've been feeling off kilter.  Little things get to me more than they should, and I've found myself either being angry or crying.  I'm keeping notes so that I can talk to my doc next time I go see him.  I'm afraid that my cycling is not changing much with my new med - I don't know if he will up the dosage or try something else, but there's got to be a solution out there somewhere.  I just know that I would give everything I possess to have one pain free, worry free, happy-go-lucky day.  I really think getting myself a horse would solve some of the problem, but there's no money for that, especially with Shawn's child support being raised over $300/month.  That in itself is stressful enough without thinking about the rest...

At any rate, my fibro has been flaring, and it's leading to some fluctuations in my bg readings.  It seems like one minute, I'm hypo - then the next, I'm hyper.  I can't seem to find a good middle ground.  My muscles are tight, and I'm irritable.  Something's gotta give, and I'm hoping that today, my adjustment will work out...

Y'all have a blessed day - hope you have fun plans for the weekend.  My nephew will be here this weekend, so we'll be spending some family time with him.  He's so adorable, and my sis-in-law and Pais are the best of friends, so I'm liking the photography factor real well right about now...
