F*&% Fibro

20 Mar

Fuck fibro.

All I did today was pickup an Rx and get some keys made. Drove 10 minutes each way to take roommate to train station and pick her up again. Basically, nothing.

It hurts so bad, and has for several hours now. I’m really worried it’s progressing so fast.

A *hot* bath (barely able to enter it hot) of 30 minutes or so will usually bring a six on the pain scale down to a three or four. But sitting isn’t helpful. As a matter of fact, prolonged sitting can actually be a trigger. It’s one of the reasons I worry about air travel. (see today’s post on travel while trans and disabled)
