Hello From the Inside

I am starting a journey I want to document here and hope that others will tag along for the ride.  In December 2016 I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.  I had been dealing with constant pain and chronic fatigue for quite some time and just relayed it to getting older (I am 34 now), running around and not taking time to properly eat and rest.  After almost a year of what I can only tell you is some of the worst pain I have every experienced (and I have had 4 children) I went to the doctor and was tested for several auto-immune diseases.  My test were all negative which was reassuring but left myself and the doctor puzzled as I had symptoms we couldn't explain.  After further testing and monitoring of my life the diagnoses of Fibromyalgia came in.  This was hard for me to swallow as I had always felt that this disease was a "catch all" diagnosis when the doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong with you but you kept whining about it.  I am here to say...

Hey there!! It's been a minute!  I have had a full schedule the last several days.  My youngest daughter turned 4 and we did a birthday party.......so much fun!  A room full of small people crying because they want to help pull tissue paper out of a bag.  Then we give them all a bunch of sugar and sticky treats and send them on their way.  But for real, it was fun and I am so glad it's over. The planner!!!! This is working amazing for me.  It has made my purse a bit more full as now I am obligated to carry it around.  But not a bad idea for anyone looking to organize themselves.
