fibromyalgia treatment part deux

So remember how I wrote a post on fibromyalgia a really long time ago?  And how I mentioned that I'm starting a treatment soon.  Well that soon is like really soon now.  As in, I'm probably ordering the medication today, and when it comes in, I'll start taking it.  How's that for soon?

For details, czech it out at www.fibromyalgiatreatment.com.

It seemed appropriate to write this post today because of how my body feels this morning.  And, because I'm going for honesty and reality, I figured I should write about it.  

Basically, I woke up and immediately knew I had been hugging myself all night.  Like, you know when you wrap your arms around yourself when you're cold?  Ok, and then sometimes when you sleep, you curl your arms up in the same position.  I guess it's comfortable.  Or it keeps you warm.  Or some other reason that doesn't make a lot of sense.  Well, imagine doing that all night, only actually squeezing like when you do it because you're cold.  While you're sleeping.   All night.  It just makes for a very uncomfortable morning.  My arms are sore and weak and my shoulders feel out of joint.  Also, I'm wide awake and yet very tired.

I'm looking forward to only hugging myself when I'm actually cold.  And not asleep.  And I'm looking forward to not being tired after I sleep.  That will be nice.
