Lately I’ve been experiencing a major fibromyalgia crash, which is why I’m not blogging as much. This time it’s coming in the form of a crippling fatigue and exhaustion that’s making staying alive difficult, so things like writing have taken a back burner. Don’t get me wrong, I’m using the tiny bit of energy I have to cook a meal and love it, or get done the essentials of the day, but ANYTHING beyond that is out of the question. I can only drive my car when absolutely needed because I’m afraid of passing out behind the wheel. So I’m struggling right now, but my spirits are actually pretty good about it, my crazy meds, and my RA meds seem to be working a bit. Also, I just became one of those sad pill organizer people because the Fibro fog is so bad I keep forgetting and/or double taking my morning pills and it’s gotten out of control….sigh.
On the exciting news, to me anyway, we got a Keurig machine and it’s my new best friend. A friend of ours gave us an opportunity to get one for a super good deal and I’m already declaring it the best purchase of the year and I’m so thankful to her! It would appear I’ve fallen in love with the French Roast sample included in the pack. This could get dangerous.
Today is also day one of Ken and I finally using our complex’s gym. I’m trying to stay moving after ceasing my physical therapy, and Ken has to be able to pass his 2 mile run after recently coming off his profile he has been on for years for mild asthma. The importance is high because he just GOT PROMOTED, and we are determined and excited to make this work and keep on keeping on with this. The Army isn’t easy and we really don’t love it much but we are so close, that we are in it to win it at this point.

Thanks! Believe it or not, I went to the gym today and still did 2 miles on the bike, and some light walking on the treadmill. Now, I shall be useless…..haha.
Plenty of rest for you now then but hey – well done 😉
I feel for you, I’m experiencing some pretty significant exhaustion as well. This too shall pass :). Congrats on the Keurig, I love, love, love mine!
Thanks. The exhaustion has just been scary noticeable uncontrollable levels lately, and I get stressed out over things I can’t control. Vicious cycle that is…lol. And the Keurig, I feel like I just brought home a new family member, I just want to brew things all the time. 4am and I feel excited to make coffee…..I’m so in love and it’s only been a week.
