Last night's headache got horrible so I called the pharmacy and asked if I could take something. I took 3 Ibuprofen and in a little bit it started easing.
I slept fine last night and woke up in less of a groggy state than the previous night.
I ate and took my Tramadol and it made me sleepy so I dozed in Ray's chair. Hopefully this will go away after I take it a while.
I must remember to take the Tramadol with food since yesterday I just snacked and got very nauseous.
My feet and ankles are the only thing that have any pain at all and they are about a 2 or 3 on a scale to 10. Even my left thumb is feeling better today. :)

Day 1
Yesterday I went to the doctor and he confirmed what I have wondered for a very long time. I have Fibromyalgia. I can remember a time when I felt good, but it was so long ago. I have had pain literally every day somewhere in my body for so long it seems natural. Lately though I seem to have been in more pain. To the point that I am sick of hearing myself say when asked how I feel; I have a headache, my back hurts, my legs hurt, my feet hurt, my arm hurts, my shoulder hurts, blah, blah, blah! I am sick of hearing myself so I am sure those around me are sick of hearing it! Not once has anyone said they were sick of it, because they love me, but I am sure they are.
Last week I went to my doctor and told her I feel lousy and I'm tired of it. I told her every place on my body that hurt that day and she asked how long this has been going on. My reply caused her pause. I told her I have felt this bad for at least 5 years but had something on me hurting for over 10 years. She poked and proded until I almost smacked her then she ordered some blood work. She wrote me a prescription for a muscle relaxer and told me to go see this other doctor. I like a doctor who is honest and tells you when something is out of their ability. She just said, I know someone who will help you better than I can.
Last night I took the medication like the Rheumatologist told me and slept pretty well. I woke up once or twicein the night, which is better than usual. I got up this morning to a little pain in my ankles and feet and wrists but that is all. How strange.
Right now 8 hours since I took my morning meds I have a pretty bad headache but I am unsure if it is just my daily headache, side effect of the Tramadol or due to the weather.
7pm last night : Flexaril 5mg
Tramadol 50mg
5:30 am : Synthroid 100mcg
Omeprizol
Fish Oil
Woke up pretty drugged feeling, dozed on the sofa until noon.
2pm : Sudaphed PE
3pm : Tramadol 50mg
Headache is really pounding.
