Oh my yes, It is a mixture of fibro-fog and the mediacations dont make the fog any better. Everyone I talk to has some degree of it, but it gets scary in the car when you think, gee, was that light red or green I just passed, or gee, was that a stop sign? My sense of humor needs to kick in at times like this or I'll lose it!!!

So far today has been better. I got to sleep in if you can call it that. I'm beginning to wonder if waking up 20 million times at night is normal. The hubby is working on his sisters car so it's just me and my daughter. She wants me to start working on her quilt that I promised her before christmas. I'm just so tired of always being in pain and i know that affects my marriage cause I'm sure that I'm not to pleasant to live with. We are working hard and I know he tries to understand but it's hard for him to understand. I'm sure that all the financial stress is causing a lot of problems with me at least.

Thank you all for your kind and thoughtful words, they really mean a lot. It's great to know I can come to a place where everyone totally understands how I feel and doesn't think I'm crazy for thinking the things I do or feeling the way I do.

Wife and mom......you both are under a great deal of pressure in different ways. I can not stress this enough,you both need to get some professional help. Maybe if we had done that sooner we would have saved this marriage and then again maybe not. I really wish we would have done something sooner. Too much has happened to go back now.

Wifeandmom,

I've been in your situation and I feel for you, but dont punish yourself for feeling pain because its real. We are in a great deal of financial stress right now and just that pressure alone can screw up a relationship. We went for counseling and it helped tremendously. they dont make you take sides, just get you to talk to each other, as long as you have a husband who agrees to go. You need to not put EVERYTHING on your shoulders, it takes two to screw up. Maybe throwing yourself into a quilt right now wouldn't be such a bad idea. { i quilt, too} Just take each day, slow and easy and keep posting. Everyone really does totally understand here.

you'll be in my thoughts tonight,

Leslie
