Fibro Flares

Did you know that Fibromyalgia suffers can predict the weather better then weather barometer...we are known as Human Barometers... because our bodies are THAT sensitive to the changes in pressure in the atmosphere.

As you see in the above image, as the pressure in the atmosphere goes up, the water rises in the goose's neck (like before a wicked storm) you can say... the level of pain in our bodies GOES WAY UP! imagine those already inflamed nerves in your body.... and adding pressure to all those pressure points....

That is just a tiny graph... of SOME of the points the pressure triggers... and pain can be almost debilitating.

I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid RA, through a positive blood test, it showed some inflammation in my joints.... But the anti inflammatory drugs didn't seem to help. Because the drugs, weren't fixing or even coming close to where the problem of my issues were... in my nerves.

I got pretty depressed with my first flare... here for a week i felt great!! wonderful!! then the evil mid west storms came in... the front moved in... I knew something wasn't right when i woke up... in the middle of the night with night sweats. I knew my body was getting geared for something... In the morning, i woke up tired, and stiff.... which was something i hadn't felt for a while... by after noon ... i was laying in bed... my body fighting so hard to keep it together and loosing it. Depression creeped in... and sleep.... sleep would have been nice...but having two babies...its not going to happen. Sunday... i woke up, i felt jet lagged but better... my legs weren't throbbing at least... however my head was.... another bad thing about fibromyalgia is the headaches after a horrible flare. Its like the last place fibro goes just to get one last kick in while your down... i felt great towards the after noon.... but now as evening sets, so does a new front for more bad weather... i feel it in my body all my pressure points for fibro are literally swollen... i'd never noticed this until i had got the inflammation down.

In fact there are many things i never noticed until now. i've over come a few dizzy spells.... where i've felt just like this poor kitty cat!!

Things will get better... I've a new grasp on WHAT THIS IS.... and doctor who KNOWS WHAT THIS IS! i feel by keeping a journal for my doctor he will know how to perscribe my medication for me to get the most out of it.... DOWN BUT NOT OUT!!!
