Slow recovery: How is your pain? Is the question (Fibromyalgia vs Surgery Pain)#fibromyalgia

It has been five weeks since my surgery and the recovery is sure but slow coming....I had my appointment on Thursday and my doctor stated that I was progressing as scheduled. I asked him several questions to get a better understanding on the changes that my body may be going through as the result of the I cave procedure that I had (Full Abdominal Hysterectomy). I was advised to go ahead and give the Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). I was kinda hesitant, but agreed to go ahead for a month to see how it works out for me. So before leaving the doctor's office I was given some samples of the medication ( Minivelle) that am now to add to my daily regimen that is supposed to do what my body is no longer able to do on it own, which is hard for me to know as in the past everything was working in my words as "normal" so know I have to wait and see what changes I will be going through or not going through.

MINIVELLE^® (estradiol transdermal system) is a prescription medicine patch that contains estradiol (an estrogen hormone). MINIVELLE is used to treat moderate to severe hot flashes due to menopause.

The questions that I know get from family and friends is , how do you feel? Can you tell a difference in your pain? They are referring to surgery pain and fibromyalgia pain? I find myself lost for words and not knowing how to respond to the question as I continue to struggle with controlling the pain from my recent surgery and spend most my time lying in bed to help me to feel better an not focus on what all my body is dealing with...

I am trying to wean myself off the pain medication as I do not want to have to need them to be able to get around on a day to day basis. I already take enough stuff in my opinion to deal with the fibromyalgia.

I will keep you posted as I am not sure if the hormone replacement therapy (HRT)is for me and pray for the day when I get back to normal....if there is a such thing as normal.

Vlog:Fibromyalgia Awareness- Living With Fibromyalgia

Vlog: Living with Chronic pain It a Journey, but still I smile. God give me strength on a daily basis. This is my first time doing a video on my journey of living with Fibromyalgia..I am thinking that maybe if I verbally share that O might have a greater impact on bringing awareness to the struggle that goes along with this condition. As this is an invisible illness that many times goes untreated and unrecognized. We have to find a cute and this will only come through education. What had been your experiences and how have you had to deal with the Ill ness? What modifications have you had to make?

Faithful Friday!!!!

It's Friday, the end of a long week. Although it has been long, I so look forward to the end of the week. I like the idea that I do not have to be anywhere at a certain on most Saturdays and can just move at my own pace. Today, I will continue to recover at home and try to get over the issues of bronchititis and try to feel better for the upcoming week. It is bad that one has to stress over how the next week will be even though it is several days away, but that is what I deal with. I am looking foward to the day that I can be just like other people and live without worry of physical discomfort. I am working on my faith in an attempt to see that my latter days will be greater than my past. It is something to look foward to change and it seems that the days will never come. I am so Glad that I have a relationship with God that constantly gives me strength to help me self not to go in depression. I know that there are others like me that want throw in the towel. I d
