Sick but hanging in there

Having a really awful time, wish you were here!

Having a horrid time with a head cold...chest congestion, earaches that sometimes are stabbing pain, sore throat, hacking cough. Just kill me now.

As if it's not enough to feel like complete shite all day, let's add this crap on top of it, shall we? I'm griping humorously here...or at least I am trying.

I get sick on top of sickly too dang often, and then it takes way too long to get over sicknesses. Very annoying.

I'm in PMS-Ville so I am having my monthly insomnia on top of everything. It's amazing I can even think over my ear ringing.

I put on some calming music through the Songza app, and hope it will lull me to sleep.

I'm having one of those nights that my brain wants to hash over every possible disaster that could befall my family, along with a bunch of "shoulds."

But I do have some interesting info to share, fellow Fibromites!

Alfred Nobel and Florence Nightingale probably had Fibromyalgia. These were 2 very high achieving people.

People with Fibromyalgia have more gray matter than other people.

One in 20 women and 1 in 60 men have Fibromyalgia.

Put all that together, and know we can still accomplish things with Fibromyalgia, we are smart, and there are a lot of us. All we have to do is speak up to increase awareness that Fibromyalgia IS real, we want to get answers and a cure, and it's nothing to be embarrassed about.

It's almost 3:15 a.m. and I need to be up in less than 4 hours, so now I'll try to sleep again.

Take care.
