Very "Blah-Zay" today.

Not having too much of a Good Day today.....my legs are pretty painful, and the other symptoms I experience on a daily basis, are swinging through like the wind.

Especially my Left Knee.
For some reason, this knee gives me the Most Problems.....maybe the Osteoarthritis is more in That Knee, than it is in the Right Knee.

My hands are not giving me too much problems today, but yesterday they were....so that's a plus.

Overall.....I am off & on with my feelings today.
GOD Willing, tomm. will prove to be a better day.

This coming Friday.....10am.


I have my "two week" visit to my doctors this Friday.....after the Last Visit, I plan to come up in there with Full Meds. in me, lolol.....I am NOT doing That Again.

He is suppose to discuss with me, the fact that He Thinks I have Fibromyalgia & Osteoarthritis.
Not sure how we plan to go about "bandaiding" the situation.....but I am All Ears.

I also need to discuss with him the fact that the "New Med." he put me on, isn't working.....so what next!!!

I'm not sure if I am going to take the hubby with me this time....My daugther is going to have surgery on Thurs....and I may need him to stay home and take care of the Grandbaby.


Boy.....I've seen more doctors this Year Alone, than the Law Allows....Or should I say......than the Insurance Companies Allow....lololol.

I did a little Too Much yesterday.....Yikesss!!!!

I thought I would do a little "exercising" yesterday.....and after "swinging my hips" about, I realized that that might not be the way to go for me, lololol.
It really isn't funny, because at the end of the Day.....I wasn't able to hold A DARN THING, not even a pen Or pencil to jot something down.....my hands hurt sooooooo bad, I really could not believe it.
They were actually "throbbing"....I could feel the muscles pulsating, and I kid you Not.

They were hurting because, the type of exercising I was doing was......DANCING!!!!
I was having a good ole' time with the Grands....and they were having an even Better Time than I, lolol.....
But when it was All Said And Done.....the ole' hips and fingers (from snapping them) don't work like they used to anymore.....and THAT is something that I just have to accept.

This morning when I got my son up for School, I thought I had had Hip Replacement Surgery....and I was recuperating from that.....Yikeessss!!!!
I could hardly walk.

I promised myself at that moment....that I WOULD NOT do that again, and I won't.....I promise!!!

I couldn't sleep either.....if I got on One Side, it hurt....and then I tried the Other Side.....that hurt too....even laying on my back hurt like the dickens.....I had pillows going in all different kinds of directions & positions.

After my Daughter put the mattress down for the Night (My Granddaughter & I sleep on it when she is over My House)....I tried to help out by putting the Pillows down on the bed....and I could not even pick them up right, I had to use the sides of my hands to even get some kind of grip.....and then to toss them from where I was sitting, ohhhh myyyy goodness....my son was like...."that's the best you could do", and I said "Yeaahhhh......".

I should have LISTENED to the advice the Experts give ya when they say....."NOT to do too much when you think you are having a Good Day"....because it will deff. come back to bite you in the Rear at the end of the Day.....for real!!!!

I'm surprised I didn't wake my Granddaughter up with all the movements I was doing.

Tonight should be better....it is Cooler to start with, and I didn't do Any Dancing Today....lolol.
I pretty much just layed around and watched the Grands do their Thang....lolol.....aside from the little bit of running around Miss Maari (my Granddaughter) had me doing every time she was into something she wasn't suppose to be in, lolol.


Oh Wellllll....here goes nothing!!!




THANKS......

Tingling & Numbness in some Extremedies.

Lately, I have been feeling an extreme amount of Numbing & Tingling in some of my ext remedies....like my Arms, and parts of my Legs.

While watching TV, Or reading something on the computer.....all of a sudden, I will feel some numbness in my Hands, Arms and even my Feet.
With my Arms, I noticed it will happen if I lay on my Left Side while watching TV Or even if I am sitting up watching TV....and then as soon as I move it, I feel numbness and then the Tingling starts.
The other morning after waking up for the Day, it happened again....and usually I could just "shake it out" Or "work it out" by rubbing my hands....but not this time, it stayed like that for quite some time....and I started to get a little worried.

With my Legs, if I lay on the Left Side it almost ALWAYS happens....along with Major Discomfort & Pain....for some reason, THIS LEG (the left)...gives me More problems than the Right One.....but I still have the same problems, just not as much on the Right.

My Feet....Well now that's another story, one that I could write a short story about......sighhhh.

If I SIT TOO LONG....they Hurt...IF I STAND TO LONG....They Hurt....WHEN I GET UP IN THE MORNING....I can't bare weight on them AT ALL!!!!!.....and it continues like that throughout the Day.

The tingling & numbness is really not a NEW THING, but it is becoming more "evident" if you will, in the past few weeks Or so.

The "NEW" Medicine Doesn't Work.....Now What!!

So Now What......


When I go back to the doctors on the 1st of May, I have to tell him that the New Medicine he put me on.....the Meloxicam 15mg (anti-inflammatory medicine), DOES NOT WORK!!!

So far it has been 3 weeks since I started on it.....and I KNOW I should have felt some kind of difference by now, but NOPE.....Nothing!!!
I still have the same Pain....If not Worse......and it is really disturbing me to say the least.

How many types of Meds. will I have to TRY.....before I can get the RIGHT One......aaaauuuggghhh.


When I think of it.....My body actually feels like I should be 80-90 yrs. old, not that I know how they feel on a Physical Level, but from back when I used to be a CNA.....I would LISTEN to my residents when they Spoke to me about How They are Feeling.....and let me tell ya, I FEEL LIKE I AM THERE!!!!
