#brasaga – The search for new chesticle containment units.

Subscribe to my newsletter and never miss an update! (Affiliate links included.) I’ve talked about my fibromyalgia before. One of the things that causes me issues is I haaaaaate “real” bras. Not just hate them, but they’re literally painful for me to wear. Sports bras, I’m fine with. I’ve tried various kinds over the years, … Read More

Resolutions, shmesolutions.

Resolutions, shmesolutions.

(A couple of affiliate codes in this post.) I didn’t (and usually don’t) make New Year’s “resolutions,” per se. And because I’m stubborn and overworked and frequently shiny-squirreled in about a gazilion different directions at any time, it usually takes me a while to get on any given bandwagon. Ever since Weight Watchers stopped supporting … Read More

Think BEFORE you blow up and don’t do THIS…

So I posted a couple of comments on Facebook this morning about that Anonymous Author book that’s “supposedly” a retelling of a story by one author to another about how the other author cheated on her husband and isn’t fond of her kids, etc. (Despite the copyright page clearly stating that it’s fiction.) And people … Read More

Yay, it’s Fibromyalgia Friday, #FreebieAlert and other randomness.

Appointment with my GP yesterday. Last week, appointment with the cardiologist. The cardiologist upped the meds to twice a day instead of once a day since they seem to be helping the symptoms I was having. Symptoms they cannot tell me WHY I’m having, because all my tests come back “normal.” I’m the healthiest unhealthy … Read More

Fibromyalgia, Fitbit, geekery, and why I canceled my Weight Watchers membership.

This will come as like zero shock to regular readers of this blog, but I am an unrepentant geek, especially when it comes to things like gadgets. Specifically, gadgets that will in some way simplify my life. No, I won’t go out and buy the newest iPhone (I will wait and buy an older one when … Read More

Fibromyalgia, magnesium supplements, cardiologist quandary, and still looking for answers.

This is rambling, so feel free to ignore it if you want. I’m trying to get this out there for my own benefit (so I can remember it all) and in case it helps anyone, or anyone has any tips of their own. First, a couple of random updates. Self-stabby-McStabbykins Update: Yes, shin healed nicely, … Read More

Frankensteining my fibro: Update 9/20/2015

While I’m awaiting my next visit with my cardiologist to get the results of my stress test and echocardiogram, I need to post an updated supplement post. (Oh, heh, yeah, funny story. I’m showing signs now that might be POTS – postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome – stuff that I’ve felt all my life and even … Read More

Something weird in the air?

A quick informal poll of my Facebook peeps has them agreeing that it’s not just me. There’s just a weird energy today I can’t put my finger on. Not bad, just…weird. I’m hoping my latest flare (which has been torturing me for a couple of months now) is finally starting to ease. If only the … Read More
