Writing about fibromyalgia

Hello,
I am writing about fibromyalgia in our comp class because I have recently been diagnosed with it. I am really scared because it has made so many changes in my life. I am not the same person I used to be. I have always been happy go lucky and never let anything really get me down. However, I am in constant pain now. Nothing ever seems to help it. I have tried a couple of medications. I have to say I have never taken medication before so I am a whimp when it comes to them lol. But they dont really work. I feel some times like I am taking meds just to take them, and I dont like that. I really hope that soon they can get me on something that helps. I understand that nothing will ever take the pain away, I just want something to help calm it. I need to be getting more than three hours of sleep at night. By the time I do fall asleep its mearly because I am sooooo tired that I cant do anything but fall asleep. I have seen my family doctor about this, who sent me to a specialist. I cant afford to continue to see the specialist, its so costly even with insurance. So I am not sure what to do next. Do I go back to my family doc. I dont even know anymore. Sometimes I tell myself that maybe I just need to deal with the pain, learn to except it as part of my life, but I am not sure how to do that. It is really bad sometimes, when the weather changes omg its really bad. I just wanted to share this with you guys in hopes that maybe someone knows what I am going through and can help me understand it. I am hoping doing all the research with my paper that I will find some answers too.
Thanks for listening,
Sherri

wow what a week

Hello everyone,
I am writing this blog later than I should be. I have had a very hard week. We were so crazy at work this week, and worked mega hours getting ready for a special open. I am not sure if I am coming or going today , lol. However, I guess we will have those challenges even though we do online classes. I am so disapointed in myself for letting this all get the best of me. I havent done that before, of course I also have never worked as many hours along with everything else in my life. I just hope that this week I will be back to normal and will have no set backs because of this week. All we can do is look ahead and keep moving on. Thank you all for listening. Have a great rest of your week and an awsome weekend.

My birthday present...and blogging lol

Hello class,
I am so late on doing this blog. It took me forever to figure this blogging stuff out. I however think I finally got it figured out. I thank you all for being patient with me. I have to say I really like this class. It has been fun learning something very new to me.
I decided for my bday which was on the 25th of Oct. that I wanted my husband to build me two pantries in my kitchen and a new closet in the hallway. See we moved from a 13 room house to a modular with 8 rooms. Well at the time we had two and a half kids and they were all little. So the house seemed sooooo big. Come to find out however, as our family grew and another couple of kids were added, the house is not big at all, lol. But , I am greatful that I have a home. Just needed more storage space, because we dont have an attic or basement. So this past weekend my husband built all the things that I asked for and they are wonderful.
However, in order for him to build these I had to move all the things that were in the areas that he was building. Well that didnt seem like it was going to be a big deal. Boy was I ever wrong. My house is a disaster. Of course I am still working on , because I have school, kids school, and work. I just keep telling myself once its all put away and oraganized I am going to be the happiest girl in the world.
I know that all things come together as they are suppose to , even if we have to give a little more time to happen lol. Hope you are all having a great week. Talk to you all soon.
