Had a bad day...

Now, I hate that song "Had A Bad Day", which annoyingly played on every American Idol results show and on the radio like every 5 minutes, as much as the rest of you, but that was my theme song for yesterday. Ugh. What a day. I tell you, I haven't had that much pain in a long time. Every fiber of my being ached and I had this annoying tingling sensation throughout my body. It felt like I had been beaten up or hit by a car. Yeah, I had a visit from my "friend," fibromyalgia yesterday. And that is one "friend" I don't wanna see again! As soon as I got home, I took some painkillers and lied down on my bed and didn't get back up for a few hours. I surrendered to the pain. I was done.

On top of the joint pains from arthritis which plague me from time to time, I also get the muscle aches and tender spots on my body that make even a simple hug painful. Plus the dreaded fatigue which has turned me into a zombie lately. Then there is the "brain fog." The thing that makes me temporarily forget people's names or things I have known for a long time (no, this does not excuse me from my lack of basic mathematical skills - that is just from plain stupidity on my part - lol). Last night, as I was lying in bed, I was trying to remember a friend of mine's last name, and for the life of me, I couldn't. It frustrated me to no end! But, no, I am not losing my mind or developing Alzheimer's. It is just "brain fog," a symptom of fibromyalgia. I didn't even know that it was until I did some reading up on it a few days ago, and was SO relieved to know that I am not losing my mind. WHEW!

Today is starting off better than it did yesterday. I knew from the moment I woke up yesterday that it was gonna be a bad one. I didn't have that feeling this morning, so I am hoping my gut instinct was right and that I have a good day today

Of course, it is still gonna be HOT outside today (supposed to be 105 today and it is already 93 outside - ugh). I am SO not leaving the building for lunch. I am staying right the hell here. Screw the sun! Screw summer! lol.
