A Few Days in Hell

Actually it's been more like this entire week has been horrible in one way or another.  I tried to not give myself false hope...I tried to be my usual, realistic self.  I knew that there was a very minute chance (like .00001%) that maybe, just maybe, getting the rest of my thyroid out would make my fibromyalgia go away...or even just make it slightly less severe.  I never took the time to think that the 2nd surgery would make the fibro worse...what was I thinking?  Or was I thinking?

When Worlds Collide: Thyroid vs. Fibromyalgia

Ugh...today is one of those days where my thyroid symptoms and fibromyalgia flare-ups meet for a 10 round match.  Most days I just have symptoms from one or the other, but today I was blessed with both.  Yesterday was a good indicator that I'd wake up as weak as I did.  I have felt completely drained the last few days, despite mostly staying home in the A/C and not having the energy to do much besides rest. 

My arms and legs feel  like heavy noodles.  I know that does not make much sense, but if you have fibro, you understand.  I have never had to wonder whether or not I was able to walk without falling before.  Trips to the grocery store require that I push the cart so I don't wear out too fast. 

My 1st Anniversary with the Best Hubby Ever!

Our wedding day

  Today was one year from the day that I wed my Hubby, at a casual outdoor ceremony at the park, on one of the hottest days of the summer, surrounded by about 50 of our friends and family.  We were married by one of my very good friend's husband and, despite it being a planned-in-twelve-days throw-together wedding, it was one of the happiest days of my life!
