Achy legs

I took the boys to a school carnival today for a couple hours. I was really tired and didn't want to be outside because of the heat but I went anyway because I didn't want to disappoint them. Now I am paying the price. My legs ache soooo bad.

So basically, 2 hours at the carnival becomes 3+ hours of pain for me. Alrighty. Stupid Fibro.

I am trying to figure out which pain reliever I can take that won't cause insomnia.

If you have Fibromyalgia or any kind of physical challenge, I think making a blog as I have done is a good move, because it gives you a place to complain. For example, I want very badly to complain on Facebook about how fucking bad (sorry) my legs feel, but that is a bad idea for many reasons. I'd look like I'm dying or out for sympathy, and you can bet I'd get a lot of medical advice from people who have no idea what I am dealing with. So, I would suffer in silence and frustration if not for this blog allowing me an outlet. 

I also was tempted to post "Gah, my legs hurt so bad I wish I could remove them for the night!" But I have a friend on Facebook who actually only has one leg! If I was her, that Facebook status would so disgust me! It made me realize too, that although my legs are aching reallt bad, I am blessed to have legs.

But just a couple hours at a carnival cause me this much pain? I sat during part of it too. Fibromyalgia is ridiculous.
