Friday, April 4, 2008 | A Rambling story
My dd came home today.  Shes been gone to my moms for 3 nights.  I have enjoyed relative peace and quiet all the way up until bed time tonight.  I am always so tired and she takes so much energy out of me.  I am tired of people saying "Thats what you get for having (so many) kids (so close in age).  You asked for it." etc etc.  I didnt ASK to be a single parent, I didnt ASK to be stuck watching my nephew 24/7, and I sure as hell didnt ASK to be sick.  No one here really understands how I feel, though my mom is trying.  I know this is hard on her too, and I appreciate that she does what she can, and is willing to do more if/when I start treatment.  I NEED my sleep and the kids are too young to grasp that concept.  I am also sore.  The joints in my hands hurt the most.  I feel like an old lady sometimes.  My lower back has been achy all day today, as have my knees.  Days when I get more than the dishwasher loaded feel accomplished to me.  It has been like this for over a month now and I want it to end.  I WANT my energy back, I WANT to be happy, and I dont WANT to deal with all this.  Also, I want my ulcer to go away and stop hurting my stomach.  Not nice.  That is my ramblings for today.

    You really do sound like you could have fibromyaglia. You may need an appointment with a rheumatologist to rule this out, or other joint issues. The good news is, there are medications that can help for either condition, and if it is hep c induced fibromyaglia getting rid of the virus usually takes care of the fibro too. There is a mediation I was on that helped, called Lyrica for the Fibromyalgia pain. I just don't need it anymore since my viral load went to zero, my symptoms went away most of the time. Also the whole virus making us protien deficient, I found once I started drinking a protien shake in the morning I got alot more energy. I really feel a difference when I miss taking my protien shake. Sometimes when it's my time of the month I take a shake in the morning and at night for the added boost because of the protien loss during that time of the month. I hope that helps.
