Intense Itchiness

Does anyone suffer extreme intense itchiness ???



I am being driven crazy with sudden intense itchines all over my body. I don't know what i would do if it wasn't for Colin, because I can't reach to scratch because of my poor mobility :-(



Its the normal things that we take for granted that others really don't think about. I also read an article about a fellow Fibromyalgia sufferer having problems with swallowing and food being stuck. I too get the feeling of stuck food,  quite alot, its so painful until it goes down.  This also happens with my meds. I hadn't related this to Fibromyalgia until i read the article



Back to itchiness, What i suffer is so intense that it could make me cry , I wonder if its medication related or Fibro related .

Weight Loss & Healthy Eating

Today i joined Tesco Healthy Eating site , its full of ideas for recipes and advice on excersize. I am following the GI Diet plan and my aim is to lose 2 stone by the end of May. This plan is so easy to follow and i would definitely recommend it to others .



Watch this space for i feel very positive regarding motivation and inspiration offered with this site . Go On DO IT YOU WILL SURPRISE YOURSELF I'M SURE :-) xx

Oh and did i tell you that its FREE !!!!

NB. I used to enjoy doing armchair excersizes with the residents where i used to work , I'm thinking now i should try to apply some of this to myself and my care plan. Colin does gentle yoga with me , so its good to learn breathing skills and gentle excersize but being disabled is no excuse to being overweight . Wish me luck :-) x

fitness awareness

Is there life after pain, well i definitely think so and i aim to find that place for me. My meds are working really well and i find that each new day i have something to look forward to.

 I'm NOT pain free but i DO find that i can cope so much better now and that although i have time when i feel really tired , this is also not as bad and i am not needing to sleep so much.

Today i thought about asking my doctor to refer me to a gym so that i can start to focus on getting stronger, a battle in its own. I've decided to wait until i go to the hospital next as  my consultant may have this in my care plan, but if not... this is going to be my aim so that i don't need my wheelchair just as much and i can actually walk more .

 I'd be happy to use my walker outside if if meant one step closer to normality for me. I know this will be a long way off and a battle on its own, but i stay positive and focussed ....

Head Sweats

It seems the latest thing i must endure is terrible head sweats, its so bad that when this happens it looks and feels like i have just come out of the shower !!! I looked online just to confirm my fears, and yes ... this is another symptom of Fibromyalgia , I just wonder what next.

My doctor phoned me this afternoon to check on how i was doing since he increased my Venlafaxin, at least on a positive note i'm glad to say that i'm coping much better with my pain and the severity of it seems to be so much less at the moment.

If only life in general was so easy and we could just take a pill to make it disappear, and let us walk away from our past and leave it there , it seems for me at least this is an impossible task and i'm so sad that some aspects of my life won't let me rest. We all do things we have regretted haven't we ??????
