This is where I come to just vent, talk about whats going on, how I'm feeling, or simply whatever is on my mind. http://www.mdjunction.com/diary/my-safe-place Thu, 23 May 2013 04:06:48 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.mdjunction.com/diary/my-safe-place/reach-out-weekend <p>I am so thrilled. Yesterday an article was published in the newspaper about the camp I am organizing for teens with invisible diseases. Today I received an email from a 14 year-old who read the articleand is interested in attending. This a huge step. I am sending out sponsor letters tomorrow, and I have a meeting with the rest of my team on Saturday. This is all advancing so quickly! I am absolutely overwhelmed with the positive responses I have been getting.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /></ [...] bubbly http://www.mdjunction.com/diary/my-safe-place/a-good-dayi-guess <p>As I mentioned I received two tenderpoint injections last Friday. I think got my hopes up a little too much. The pain has most definately improved, but its still there. My energy was up more than usual. I&#39;m currently procrastinating by writing and replying on here. My teachers were kind enough to give me loads of homework on top of the make-up work from being out last week with a flare. The tempature here has dropped and our low today was in the thirties. It&#39;s April!!!

My physical therapist had recommended I ask for trigger point injections, so I did. My doctor gave me two right in between my shoulder blades. I came quite close to passingout because of the weird feeling and the fact that the room was about 100 degrees. I&#39;m not sure yet how much the injections help, but I will definately write about the benifits soon! bubbly http://www.mdjunction.com/diary/my-safe-place/feeling-a-wee-bit-better I no longer have the flu0like symptoms, but the pain is still unbearable. I am looking forward to seeing my rhummy on Friday.&nbsp;Maybe he will be able to do something. I made it through half a day ofschool today and then came home and curled up with my heating pad. As I write this I have a tens unit hooked up to my neck. A sad attempt at trying to elimanate some of the pain. I love being able to come on here and just let my feelings out.

We cry, we beg our doctors to help us somehow, and yet we still feel terrible.&nbsp;We deal with rude and unsensitive commentsfrom outsiders. We struggle with how to make it from day to day, but in the end Fibromyalgia makes us the people we are. We are stronger and more sensitive to others pain.
