Taking a break
On the off-chance that there is actually someone reading this, I've decided to have a break from blogging for a few days. I'm just not in the mood.

Pain Still Causing Sleep Problems
I slept for longer last night, but still woke up a couple of times because of the pain. I don't understand how the weight of the duvet can give me pain. Feeling ok-ish today. Tired, achey and a bit down, but what's new?

In a lot of pain
I'm in even more pain today, and feeling a bit sorry for myself. I slept better but kept waking up needing to go to the loo & in lots of pain. Otherwise things are better, apart from my tummy which is undecided, oh, and the fact that I don't have any extra painkillers that work.

Fibromyalgia flare up
I went out for a while to see if some fresh air and exercise would help, but I actually feel worse. Apart from pain just about all over there's a headache hovering and I just feel really yucky. I'm going to spend as much of the rest of the day as I can lying down. I think this could be a serious flare-up. I'm in so much pain.

Pain and stiffness
I fell asleep propped up in bed watching tv and woke up seven hours later! Which was good in terms of sleep, but bad in terms of pain and stiffness - ouch! Everything else is much the same. I'm hoping to get some extra rest today.

Bad night's sleep
Bad night's sleep, in lots of pain, feeling crappy.

Took pain medication, slept better
I slept a bit better last night, and clocked up quite a few hours sleep altogether, but the pain was, and is bad. I took one strong painkiller before going to sleep last night. I think I should have taken two. I've been up for a while this morning but I'm still sore and stiff. I'm debating the painkiller issue as I write. Otherwise, I'm still feeling better mentally, but not great. My lips are still sore, and the end of my tongue is now sore too. The eczema is the best it's been for ages. The funny thing is that I haven't used any hand cream for days - it's the aqueous cream I've been washing my hands with that has made the difference.

Not feeling too great
Ugh - I'm definitely not at my best this morning. At the moment I'm trying to decide whether to take some painkillers for a slight headache. I might need to take the strong ones later today if the muscle pain doesn't improve. I'm very achey, and feeling so sore that even the towel across my shoulders after my shower was hurting. I hope I'm not going into another flare up.
Mentally I'm definitely feeling better than I was. I'd hesitate to say normal. I've been up and down for so long I've forgotten what normal is, and living with this amount of pain isn't what I'd call normal either.
I had a thought about the sore lips. Maybe it's the new medication. I know that people on chemotherapy often get mouth ulcers, so perhaps it's the new meds making my lips sore. The timescale would be about right. I've tried everything I can think of now and they're still sore. Sometimes it's almost as if my saliva is burning them.

Tired and achey
I'm still feeling a bit better mentally, but I'm more tired and achey. I didn't sleep very well either. My lips are still sore and I think they're swollen. I hope the vaseline works as I really don't want to go to the doctor's this week. Tummy is ok (so far). Eczema is still much improved. OCD is definitely a bit better, but has a way to go yet. Depression is better but not gone.

Pooped!
I'm tired and very achey right now. More achey than I've been for a while actually. My lips are still sore too, so I can see me heading back to see my doctor soon about that. I'm going to try vaseline on them as I've tried several different brands of lip salve. After that I've run out of ideas. It's cutting down on what I can eat or drink too.
