Fire

That's what my body feels like right now. Like it's on fire. I can't sleep because both my hips and thighs are sore. I compare it to when I was pregnant with Kyle and I had to switch positions every 5 mins because it hurt.  My thighs hurt, ankles wrists and arms all hate me too Yay~

I have been on Savella for 24 hours now. It seems to make me a little drowsy. I slept okay the first night, but not today. I know it takes time for the medicine to kick in. I am on a inclining dose over the next few weeks. The first day I take 12.5, then the second day I take 12.5 x's a day. I do this for four days then I start taking 25 mgs 2 x's a day for a few days, then it's up to 50mg 2x's a day.

I hope this medicine works. Those who told me that some days are better than others are so right. I had a hard time opening the hatch back to my van today. Squeezing the handle in was painful. I could also not really carry anything in my arms. If I did, my arms would tingle and feel itchy and of course burn.

I want to cry. I HATE feeling like this. I hate saying poor me. I will get through this. I just need to vent so, here I am. Thanks for listening and not thinking I am complaining or whining. I know there are people out there who have it far worse than I do, whether it be FM wise or any health condition. So, I will suck it up and face the day.
