Song of the Day: Lightning Crashes by Live
I have been taking on a lot of new projects at work during the past few months. I've also slowly been transitioning out of the "honeymoon" phase at work; I see the cons as well as the pros more clearly now. I don't want to talk too much about my job or the people I work with. Let's just say that with more responsibility comes more stress. It's a natural part of having a career; the problem is that my body doesn't react naturally to such changes.
My fibro fog has been getting worse. I have been trying to stay on top of things by keeping my meds in one of those "one a day" organizers. The problem is that a lot of the time, I can't remember what day it is or where I have put the organizer.
I also purchased the 2014 Action Day weekly planner. I love love love it so far. It has sections for weekly tasks, projects and goals. Unfortunately, I constantly forget where I have put it so I tie it to my chair when I am at work and try to remember to tie it to my handbag when I go home.
Fibro fog really freaked me out when I couldn't remember how to get to my sister's house the other day. I have driven there every weekend for years, so it was frustrating, to say the least, when I couldn't find my way there.
My neurologist (who is also a psychologist) had me take some memory tests, but the results didn't indicate anything other than the ADD and memory retrieval issues that are "compatible with FMS/CFS." He discussed my results with my rheumatologist and they put me back on Lyrica to see if that will help. I know that Lyrica is supposed to make people sleepy, but it seems to be making my insomnia worse, so we'll see what the doctor says when I go back for my next visit.
