Can’t Find The Words?

Ever feel like you can’t describe the pain and fatigue you feel?  Have trouble pinpointing exactly how you feel?  This article, published by CNN, tells the story of Dana Poole, a 31 year old with fibromyalgia.  It’s a very interesting and validating article, supported by her doctor’s comments. 

With the kids home for summer, it’s been hard sticking to my food goals.  I’ve been slacking a little too much, eating the occasional granola bar and sweet treat, and have noticed a difference in my pain and fatigue level.  It hasn’t been awful, but I was definitely feeling better 3 weeks ago. 

I am going in for acupuncture again next week, and am a little hesitant.  Last time the acupuncture session was fine, but I seemed to have stronger sugar cravings and more stiffness in the days that followed the treatment.  I chalked it up to the release of the toxins that were stored in my tissues.  So I think I’ll drink plenty of water afterwards next time.  I was advised to do this and forgot last time.
