Today is a bad day. My left shoulder hurts today and I can barely lift that arm. I started to get a headache about 10:30 this morning that has gradually gotten worse until I finally had to lay down about 2:00pm. It is now 5:30 and the headache is slightly better but I had to get up because of my kids because my husband is gone on Tuesday nights. Now it is just a waiting game until 8:30 when my little one goes to bed. I feel nauseous and lightheaded and the headache is across my forehead and around both sides today and into my left shoulder where it is extremely painful. The weird thing with my fibromyalgia is that the pain seems to travel day by day. Last week my legs hurt extremely bad especially at the hip joints and ankles but now they feel better. Some days one arm will hurt while it may feel better the next. That is the difficult part, trying to live with all the different pain and of course the headaches. I get them about 2-3 times per week to the point I have to lay down. I also have to rest during everyday and be careful what I do so as not to have a worse tomorrow. I have tried numerous medications with no help and I feel totally alone at times. I also suffer from mild depression (duh) and anxiety to the point I sometimes get anxiety attacks for no logical reason.
