Darn Fibro.....

.....just when I finally think that I have this illness pretty controlled......Bam!!  I end up in a huge flare and realize that until there is a cure, that is simply not happening....Grrrrrrrrrr!!

     I had so much I wanted to do this week, but that's all off for now and all I want to do now, is alleviate some of the pain, get a least one good night of sleep and start to feel better.    I did go to Chiro yesterday and had to take an extra pain med last night, but it's still here and with a vengeance.

     I'm never totally give into this - but I know when it's best to totally slow down and let my body heal otherwise, the pain will only get worse.

      But, on a happy note --- if there is one --- I do know this too will pass and in time, I'll be back sharing new cards and enjoying life again -- hopefully soon!!

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
