RELIEF!

-

December 6, 2017:  Have I ever mentioned how I hate anemia? No...? I do. Last night I hit my knee on a chair. Not even an hour later I had a nice sized bruise on my knee. I randomly get bruises from who knows where along my legs and arms. I look like I have been beat up at times. Only by myself though.
Then last night while I was running the floor scrubber, my right arm started to hurt from just about 2 inches above my elbow and all the way down to the tips of my fingers. The pain spread fast. The next thing I know, I was no longer able to move my hand. For a half hour I couldn't move it. My fingers were not even twitching. My hand was completely seized up and my muscles contorted in my hand, making my hand look weird for a lack of a better description. I'm pretty certain this was all because of my lovely fibromyalgia. Muscle spasms, and pain. My brother asked if I had medicine to take. Well, nothing that was an immediate muscle relief like what he was thinking about. Then, suddenly, I remembered that I had brought a few of my essential oils with me. I asked my brother to grab them for me, and considering that it was my right arm that I couldn't move, asked him to put them on my arm and where to focus putting them on at. After about 5 minutes of sitting there in pain, I finally saw and felt 3 of my fingers twitch. I focused my thoughts on moving my hand and after a little longer, I was moving my entire hand and arm. It hurt very badly at first but it all finally eased up after a bit and I went on with my job. I don't know what I would have done with out my oils. Just proof that they are truly better than some pharmaceutical medicine, and cheaper!

Stressed beyond belief

-
January 12th: First of all, Happy New Year. I'm stressed beyond belief. I don't know what to do. I've had a migraine headache for over a week. Went to the Dr yesterday and the shot in my butt didn't help. My brother-in-law's health I feel like it continues to decline every week or at least something new pops up every week. If it's not his health it's something else that we have to deal with. I know this is life, but I can't keep on doing this at this rate. I need help. We need help. If it's not my brother-in-law, then it's something to do with the farm. If it's not that, it's something to do with us personally.  Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile but I haven't known what to even say for a long time now. It's like my creativity spark has just disappeared from me. I need prayers, positive vibes, and positive thoughts coming our way.  I just recently lost my Great Aunt, and growing up I always knew she'd die one day too, but j...

Family is Tough Sometimes

-
To my reader's, I thought I should come here and blog about recent events.  My brother-in-law has been diagnosed with stage 4 non-alcoholic liver disease aka NASH. I do feel like I know nothing about this horrible disease. However, I probably know more than you , my reader, just because I am learning about it as I go. He sleeps a lot due to the ammonia levels in his system.  He's extremely jaundice, which for anyone who doesn't know, he looks yellow, including the whites of his eyes.  Today seems to be a good day. He seems very alert and less confused than other times. Some days he is not alert, and can barely function.  We've called in hospice and he is currently under their care. I never thought I'd be 38 years of age and dealing with hospice for a brother! It's overwhelming to say the least. So much to do, learn and ask. We've received some great things from them to help him around the house to be independent. He is a guy that desires to be independent so...

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

-
December 30, 2017: On December 29, at 9:30 am, I started going to counseling and I saw a Dr. I'm being diagnosed with Bi-polar II. My moods have been very unstable recently. I'm being put on different medicine than I was before. I am waiting now for the pharmacy to locate and obtain gluten free medicine for me. I started group counseling today.  It's interesting to say the least. There are people in there that I can relate with very easily.  I hope this makes me not feel alone. I know I'm not, yet I feel like I am. I have my parents, and my 2 friends. Group counseling was tough cause my anxiety reared its ugly head a bit. It wasn't severe, just enough to make me feel uncomfortable. Men and women both. I sat between women to try to feel more comfortable. I wanted to run away and hide. Once I got home it calmed down. I want to get my agoraphobia under control when it comes to unfamiliar territory. I made a decision today to do the $1 a week savings plan as my New Yea...
