Love That Fibro - Not!

I'm documenting - again - my thin skin.

 

This pictures was taken on January 18, 2009

 

 

 

 

 

And this one was taken on January 27, 2009

 

And remember when I wrote about fibro fog?  Here...What in the world is fibro fog?

and here...This Is What I'm Talking About?

 

Here's another picture and story about fibro fog.  My reading glasses were on top of my head, as I was getting ready to head outside.  I realized that when I tried to put on my knit cap.  I did something with the glasses, then got distracted by my son before I went outside, then couldn't remember where I put them.  He told me to forget about them for a while, and I would remember.  But that didn't work.

About 30 minutes later, I was in the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror and there they were.

 

Silly me.  I hung them on my front.

I do that all the time with my glasses. I can never remember where I put them when I take them off.

i have had this happen - glad u 'found' 'em
Hi Marilyn,
I understand about the fog -- Mark (my husband) has something similar and it's very hard on both of us at times, but we do our best.
For your skin (ouch that looks painful!), have you tried shea butter and putting it on at night with cotton gloves? Just a suggestion....

Jesus is showing me I have so much to thankful for in these present days. Thank you for sharing this. I know I need to count my blessings, stop whinning and groaning about silly things and seek for answers for others who are having problems in this present day. This is what Jesus is showing me at this very moment as I view your posts. I am saying, thank you Jesus for all my blessings and for those who have problems at this moment such as you have shown here, I know that you are the great healer. I truly believe Jesus is able to heal. Granted, I have prayed for things that never came and I have to say well this was just not the will of God to be and/or I did not have the adequate faith and/or the adequate obedience to bring it to pass. That does not mean it never happens. Jesus is still working miracles for people every day.

Oh Marilyn, I feel so bad for you to have that happen all the time. My grandpa's skin was like that though he didn't have fibromyalgia. Some thoughts and prayers coming you way to help get you through some days.

Praying for all my Gather friends who are having health issues, their own or family members. Glad you found your glasses, Marilyn!

I don't have fibromyalgia, but yesterday, I made a delicious Mexican dinner and as I was serving, I realized I completely forgot to make the spanish rice!!!! Senior moment, I suppose!!! LOL

I had terrible problems with my skin too. Now I use natural and organic hand soaps, laundry soaps and dish soaps. I also apply shea butter lotion several times a day. To clear up the scabs, I'll put petroleum jelly and gloves on my hands overnight. For me, when they started to heal they got itchy and oozed. I also use gloves when I clean because germs get right in (though I hate gloves - use the see-thru plastic kind instead of rubber because at least you can feel). Now I don't get the scabs but it takes an effort - I have to keep my hands soft and protected at all times. I do hope this clears up for you, it's so painful.

Bummer, I wish you didn't have to go through things like that.
Sometimes the hair on my arms hurts actually, or the skin underneath. Just a breeze blowing on the hair hurts pretty good, with the right side being the worst. My sister says it might be the start of Fibro?
Take care now.

thank you for sharing

John, I get that. Sometimes when my hubby tries to hug me, it hurts to be touched. Sometimes it hurts to even have clothes touch my skin.

I know about the Fibro fog. I have a hard time concentrating on anything. I can't make myself do anything and when I go to do something I forget what I was doing!!!!
John S. (arizona) Jan 29, 2009, 1:56pm EST
It seems to come and go with me; sometimes it is really painful, but everything "looks" fine.

I have several family members and friends with fibro. Keeping u in my prayers.
Hugs :)

I have done that before. I started to go to work one day, and i panicked and finally told my daughter, who was driving me to work, that I could not find my glasses. I was wearing them!

My mom and I both have fibromyalgia. She gets the fibro fog pretty badly sometimes. I remember one doctor telling me fibromyalgia was just something women made up in their heads.
