Aches and pains galore, oh my!

[Guest guest]

My husband complains because I never get the house work done. I get very

little accomplished and find it incredibly frustrating. I'm always behind

on dishes and laundry not to mention everything else. And, since I'm working

on getting on SSI and not working we are incredibly, scary poor. He says we

need a house keeper but we can't even afford paying our bills except we have

a savings which we are depleting way too fast. Then, when I finally will

get my SSI it will only be $700.00 a month, about half of what I need.

Something has to give here. We already sold our nice house bought a

smaller, fixer upper. At the time I thought for sure I'd still be able to

do the fixing up thing, something I used to love to do.

Life is hard.Fibro makes it impossible. On top of it all I've had a bad

cold all week. Bleah!

I used to be a very strong person and sucked it up for so many years that I

don't have any strength left, or that's how I see it anyway. All used up.

LOL But, I have recently lost 15 pounds. That makes me feel pretty good.

I need to do that about 3 more times to be comfortable with my weight

though. I'm hoping that will help me with energy a little.

Okay, enough complaining from me. But, hey, you guys are the only ones who

actually get it, understand.

Big hugs,

Jane

I have been good and bad;;; the wether has had the ususaulimpact onme !

when it rains or snows I feel the fibro go into it's business of making

us feel lousy!!!!!!

But I had a few good days to smile about I got a bed warmer and a

heater ass the cold weather gets me in the form of a pretzel from being

so stiff ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

> The Lyrics does help me and I know when Iam getting low of it inmyh

body as I feel pain and pinching or shooting pains in myh limbs My

spasms are fewer too. But I still can't over do.

My biggest shame is I cna not do my home either I had had problems in

the past and when going to PT I had many hints and told about problem

solvers to get for myself.I can do my dishes and cook a bit , but to do

my whole kitchen is a no no for me now. I used to hve suen a nice home

too and I have such lovely things tooI am looking for ways to make it

simplier for my self . As for house keepers I am finding trouble as

they think sop much of what they do and I found touible in the fact

that they charge so much these days per hour? And I am not very happy

with the work ethic I have found either. I paid a gilr 15 dollars per

hour and she took her time and made things hardere for me as she

changedmy cupboards around and I could not gto to things! So check ou

who they work for first and if their cleints are happy with how they

wrok and what they do. As for me it seems I have to wait for the sprin

time to do more I now have a broken toe and a slighty fractured foot

and need to wait for it to heal ugh!!!!!!!!!But I wll wait to put my

own house oin order and get a home worker for maintence as this will be

better for me . I hope you get soemone who earns their pay Ihave not

found manmy in the4 yyears I have had Fibro.
