Well, that long-awaited cool front passed through this afternoon. I would have known without the weather app on my phone preparing me! It is a bittersweet thing for this Fibro gal, those cool fronts.<\/p>\n
I have been waiting for the cool weather to arrive; to be able to feel the cool breeze on my face.<\/p>\n
Up until today I have been feeling nothing but the hot and humid air of the Midwest because our house A\/C went out last week. Yep! The last 6 days of near 90 degrees and 90\u00f7 humidity!<\/p>\n
I made it through the sweltering days…and nights, pain and all.<\/p>\n
Having Fibromyalgia like I do means pain continuously, rain or shine.<\/p>\n
However, cool fronts can make your body hurt even more.<\/p>\n
And to make matters worse, my right knee has swollen up with unbearable pain making it difficult to walk and sit and drive and stand for long periods. (Even Ibuprofen has not eased the pain!)<\/p>\n
My Rheumatologist ordered Xrays and blood-work last week to see what is going on, which means another round of the waiting game.<\/p>\n
Little things like, oh, I don’t know, say, sitting, going to the bathroom, and just trying to get out of a chair, I do not take for granted these days.<\/p>\n
