High Blood Pressure Wows

I am awake now because I have been asleep for quite some time since returning home from a few hours out with my girls.   I took them to the fall festival at their school.  I think they enjoyed themselves.   I try to keep give them some opportunities to have fun.  On the other hand, I was dealing with the fact that my head was hurting due to the fact that I have been experiencing problems with my blood pressure being elevated.  It seems as nothing that I am doing is assisting.   I have informed by doctor of what is going on as well as taking my high blood pressure medicine.  I just took my pressure after working up and it is still off the chart.  

In efforts to educate myself and other based off previous studies and research and what I have found out is that it not uncommon for person with fibromyalgia to have problems with elevated pressure due to increased pain and the side effects from prescribed pain medications that are being used to treat inflammation that include NASIDs, which I have been taking.   Therefore I must assume that this might be a possible cause for the increases in my pressures.  The readings have been ranging from 172/118 to the latest being 134/103 after a nap.   This is not supposed to be.   I have contacted my doctor and am scheduled to be worked in Monday.  I wonder what they are going to tell me.  I plan to get some test ran on me….I feel like I am going crazy with all that is going on I really just want to feel better.   It has been so long, I am not ever sure what “Better” means.   I must keep the faith the God has it all under control.  I will feel better.    He gives me strength on a daily basis to get most of the things done that I need to get done and for that I am so thankful.  I will not complain…. “they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength …..they shall mount on wings like and eagle, they shall run and not faint”  I don’t mind waiting on the Lord…..All of my help comes from the Lord.



·         On tomorrow, I plan to get started with my exercise routine….I watched the first DVD and it seems as though I might be able to maintain.   I know that I must pace myself.  I am gonna get my children and spouse involved……

No pain No Gain...

I have not been here for a while. There has been a lot going on since the last time as I have to try to balance my life and keep up with the hustle & bustle of my everyday duties which are influenced a great deal by the constant physical pain from the fibromyalgia.  I recently returned back to work. I feel that this was part of the plan for me. One day in July, I began to pray as well as write down the things I wanted and needed God to help me with. I needed direction as well as for him to go before me to help to work out the situations out for me. One of the things I needed the most attention was dealing with my financial situation.  For the most part, I had not really worked since my Surgery last year (sept. 2013). I really needed to know what to do in this situation. I prayed to God and decided to send my resume out resume out to a few places. Little did I know that the timing was so right.  It's so important to be in position to receive your blessing.  After ...

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?
