I feel better today, unfortunately I woke up at 6:30 and couldn’t get back to sleep. It’s always something. At least I feel less foggy. It’s always super brutal being at a 10 and having no sleep. I’ll just have to make sure I refreeze my used ice packs so I can get through the day.

I was lucky enough to have a short nap mid-day, but I still feel super tired. I think I’ll be able to catch up tonight. I’m actually amazed this lack of sleep didn’t send me into a full on flare up. I think it would have been a decent day if I had gotten better sleep. What a shame! I would love to be in a place where these minor setbacks don’t completely derail me, but that’s not where I am now.

Went to the store to get more gluten free foods. I’m giving that thing another shot. I need to find some sort of reason for these constant flare ups. Gluten free didn’t do anything for me the last time I tried, but I’ll double my efforts this time. I’m just so tired today. The pain is always there in the back of my head – scratching, nagging, pulling on my brain, right where my spine meets my brain. It never ends. Even on good days, the pain is always there and it’s always strong. Breaks from the fibromyalgia are rare, and I am grateful for them, but when I get them, all I get is pain. There is never anything else. It’s so demoralizing.
