Today I have shared my new blog with different people in my life — old friends and others for an opinion.  I think I will continue to write and try to keep the information from stacking up inside.  It may not always be grammatically correct so please do not judge me on that.

I used to write and read daily and now my brain barely seems able to type, write and make sense of much if I am not concentrating just on that task. I lose where I am in conversations and forgetting words is almost always a given. Multitasking definitely went out the window…..

Who knew I would miss using a computer or writing lists and orders.  I get very frustrated when I can not write so I can read it.  The tremors are not even at their worst. My pen collection sits unused (lol).  My amazing craftroom seldom visited.

I’m a reader and with the almost constant headaches and migraines I find I rarely read right now.   Growing up that was how I entertained myself and even years later as an adult it was a fixture in my life.   I miss holding a book, but the amazon kindle app on my phone has helped with that grief.

Several years ago, I started hunting with my husband and son.  The tremors this year kept me from even attempting to take a shot.  I enjoy shooting with my handgun and it of course has its own problems — I don’t have the strength to pull  it back most days, load or fire with a steady hand.

I just hope with new meds that I can resume some of these activities.  I know I am not handicapped I’m just a frustrated 42-year old woman with chronic medical issues.

Today and other days I have discussed fibromyalgia with so many others and things that have helped over the years. Until I was diagnosed, I had never heard of it and now there are a lot of others in similar situations.  Now with Facebook groups it has made many difficult situations like cancer & fibro easier to deal with.  I joined a BC group that is pretty much all humour…. Yes folks I finally get the funny on most posts unlike before.  Comedy and I are friends now 😉
