He’s right. They’re “eye boogers” and always have been. I have to side with Mr. CFG this time.

My daughter sometimes complains that no one notices her or pays any attention to her.

“That’s wonderful!,” I respond. “You’d make a terrific Private Investigator or Spy or [as this post suggests] a Journalist!”

I never could fake Empathy.

Thanks so much Pip is “helping” me write this by stepping on my hands while I try and type. Apparently it is “Treat-O-Clock”-shocking!

Comment on Cranky Fibro Girl Manifesto by Nancy

I read the rest of your manifesto and I forgot to add that I have great doctors but the ER thinks I am crazy. The biggest loss of this fun fibro are; friends, family members, and my old friend, TIME LOSS. I have sent articles, stories and personal letters to previous BEST FRIENDS and they don’t believe me. It took years to get over the hurt. I still get my haircut at the same place my friends go and my hairdresser is always concerned w my health and understands that I can’t make an appointment until after three in the afternoon and still might oversleep. She informed me one of my besties was moving accross the country and wasn’t I excitied for her? HELL NO because she never calls. I am not the cool fast paced world traveler and workaholic I once was so I DON”t FIT IN. I have learned to love my couch so *&#^ them. At least my hair looks nice for a couple of days until the next appointment several months down the road. Yesterday I painted my nails polka dot to make me happy and wore a big ring (I had to remove it because the weight of it hurt) but my blanket and nails were HAPPY HAPPY because I try to make the couch a fun place. Maybe QVC will have something cute on today so I can hang it in the closet for when I go out along w all of my nice shoes and purses. My drawers are my haven they have very nice jammies; I love Karen Nueberger (SP?+ The other thing I dislike is being accused of being a pill popper. I quit drinking 16 years ago and have to be very careful w meds but I am sick of people questioning my use of meds. JUDGEMENTAL If only they could walk in our shoes for a month. I try to stay upbeat but it has been a rough bout lately so I better add something fun on the table that holds all of my treasures; medicine, water, a book or two that have been lying there for weeks when I use to read one book in a day or two. The MAIL oh I hate the Mail. It is such a huge task when I am in a fog. I give up and throw it all in a pretty Marshall’s bag to sort next year

You Rock Cranky Girl!!!!
I didn’t know chest pain is part of this lovely disease. After a month of unbelievable stress, (yes I tried my realaxation tools from the Mayo Clinic and need a refund) An ambulance arrived after my husband called because I collapsed in the hallway and said (I can’t @*#$&$& take it anymore and I think I am having a heart attack) I am 56 and refused to go to the hospital and the ETs said I should go if the chest pain didn’t stop so 48 hours later, pain killers, anxiety medicine and Lyrica not working I ended up in the ER to make it STOP. I have dealt w this for eight yeares after a couple of bouts of mono and pneumonia and a RA diagnosis which I just laughed off and continued to work. YOU KNOW YOU HAVE FIBRO when your boss tells you to go home and sleep. That was January 31st 2009 and I am still sleeping most of the time. I LOVE YOUR BLOG. I haven’t had the time (too busy catching up on Young and the Restless and QVC) to do any research lately and came accross your blog. THANK YOU SO MUCH~~Nancy By the way have you tried Revitalix or Savella??? Just wondering I found out about it tonight. I look forward to hearing more from you when I have the energy or anger to get on the compute.

I love this post! I also have a kitty named Pip and it is her lone mission to make me come to the opposite end of the house from wherever I currently am so that she can get a treat. What do they put in those things anyway?? She’ll knock things off of shelves or rattle the measuring cups on the kitchen wall….you know, the normal poltergeist sort of things….just to make me find her and give her a treat. Now I know that giving her the treat is just going to make her continue to do these things (as she sees herself getting rewarded) so I’ve trapped myself in a never-ending cycle of Hell. Some days I go through the “I am NOT going to let a cat win!” frame of mind and try to ignore her but her mayhem gets worse and worse and I give in. I think that what we’re finding is that Pips are well…pips.

I found your site through “The 21 Best Fibromyalgia Blogs of 2012″ and after reading through many of them, I do have to say that I like your “voice” the best. Especially after learning that you’re also battling Fibro AND a Pip! : )
