My Days

10/7 - Not a good day. I woke up with the chest cold thats been hovering around threatening to show itself for days. I have alot of pressure in my head, my throat hurts my chest hurts, and i feel whiny lol. People with Fibromyalgia don’t just get a little cold. They get an all out attack on every system in thier body. My muscles ache, the fever is affecting my whole body, my eyes are burning from the inside out, and I can’t think or see straight. I would love to curl up under the covers and fight off the chills, despite the fact that the house is actually in the 70’s, but I cant. The world doesnt stop because I don’t feel well. Even though this is my day off, parents don’t get days off. Laundry needs to be done, dishes need washed and food of some sort needs to be given to the kids, even though I myself have no desire to even look at food. I have lost my sense of smell and taste, and I haven’t been hungry in days, since i have felt this coming on. So what do I do? I do not have the energy to do all of it. The kids come first, so feeding them is what I will spend my energy on for now. If there is anything left over inside I will get to the dishes, the laundry, the vacuuming, the general upkeep of our luxurious estate ;) I will get through it, I always do, and I will get past this little bug, it sucks, but I am used to it :)
