If I’m not posting…

...it’s just because I have nothing to say smile

Seriously, I feel like such a bore if I just moan and complain, although this is an FMS blog so I suppose that’s to be expected.  I have good days and bad days.  On my good days (for example, Dec. 23rd and 24th), I feel energetic and happy and pain-free.  On my bad days (every day since), I’m exhausted, feel like my limbs are too heavy to move, and my pain meds work just marginally.  I’ve had to start supplementing the oxycontin with ibuprofen to make it last longer, and to make it work better.  That’s a far cry from when I took OC a few years ago, and it eradicated all my pain completely.  Now I’m lucky to get a window of a few hours without pain (those are very welcomed!).  I’m sleeping very well at night, but after I exert myself, my recovery time is getting longer and longer.  I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting older, or because of the cold weather, or because of holiday stress, or because my illness is just getting worse.  I’d prefer it if isn’t the latter.

My unique FMS pain spot is in the soles of my feet—my heels and the balls of my feet ache like they’re bruised.  It’s not plantar fasciitis pain.  I don’t think I’ve ever had a moment without foot pain over the past year.

In any case, this is just a whiny, “yes, I’m still around” post.  I had a nice holiday, although life getting back to normal seems to be what my body likes best.
