If it's not one thing, it's another!!

I had a small pity party yesterday, but I did not send out any invitations!! 😬 A new pain has developed in my hip, and in reading about that, it most likely is bursitis. The good news is that it can heal! The discouraging news is that it hurts like heck, and I cannot put any weight on my hip. And of course, I always have to remind myself that weight gain can always exacerbate it!! 😩 Hate that! But the absolute worst thing about this new development is that I hurt myself walking!!!!!! Can't win for losing !!! Ha ha

I don't want to spend much space on this; however, I feel like mentioning that the run around from doctors is so infuriating, especially when we are dealing with crazy fibromyalgia, and all the nuttiness that goes along with it, and the other accompanying disorders! I keep calling the doctors. The pain doctor has to review the file to see if she will take you on as a patient! 2 weeks ago my other doctor said they were sending the referral. But this doctor had not received it yet?! Sound familiar?!!! The good old runaround!!!! 😠😡.

But the good news is that I can rest!!!

I am so blessed! In reading other people's posts, I realize how lucky that I am. My poor husband carries the stress for both of us!! They need support groups for spouses/partners! Please share your stories! When you comment, just let me know that I can share!!! We are in this together, right?!

Hi Sally. I miss seeing you on Sundays and Wed. mornings. Will be so happy to be back in God's house! I, too, had a rough week last week with full body pain. I tried all the home remedies including stretches, ice and heat packs. This week has been better. I have walked more but every step felt like I might fall. My legs felt weak and right hip felt jammed inside my body. I try to divide my waking hours with alternate activity and resting. I was up three times last night and so still I hardly make it to the bathroom in time. I need a new mattress but unable to get out to try them out. No…

I would’ve come to that party. I’ve had a few of those parties myself. It’s hard to get up and move when you hurt and are tired. But then you know you’ll feel better if you move. It’s a vicious cycle. Hope you get to feeling better. Feel free to share.
