Droopy eyes, muscle relaxers and Bloggers who can help you!

You know I have been doing pretty good with the pain management of my body since February.  Without all that crap in my body, i.e. yummy hamburgers, oozing chocolate, sloppy pasta.... (Oh gawd, would someone pass me a kleenex, I am drooling all over my desk), I have seen a significant drop in inflammation in my body which makes my fibromyalgia happy and my autoimmune disease happy which of course makes me happy which makes all those who tolerate me extremely happy.  Of course the downside is that I am starting to resemble a piece of cauliflower with broccoli hair, but it's all worth it.  Although, there are days I would kill for pickle!

With that said though, I have spent the last three weeks working like a trooper in my garden and needless to say, I have gained like 8 pounds of inflammation in my body within the last 3 days. Nope I am not joking, my body is crazy like that.  My fingers look like fat italian sausages, and I am walking around like the hunchback of Notre Dame! Needless to say I am none to pleased with this little setback I am experiencing.

When it gets this bad, I usually finally allow myself to succumb to my prescription muscle relaxers.  I hate taking them though because they make me ridiculously hungry (like jump over the table and suck the crumbs right off my better half's face hungry), I feel flat and unamused in my personality, I'm stupidly tired and slur my words like a drunk. And if that isn't bad enough and like I don't do this enough already, but I end up passing gas like a trucker. In general, I am Chet from Weird Science... Remember that dude, well I am his female counter part!  Ugh!

But today was the day of all days, literally I popped the muscle relaxer and instead of it working on my back and assisting there, the lovely muscle relaxer hit my eye balls.  They were so wonky that I could not for the life of me control them. I spent an inordinate amount of time today at work trying to get my one eye to stop swirling around and around and focus on the screen.  I eventually succumbed to closing my left eye and typing with only my right eye open.  Then when the bloody little yellow pill hit my right eye, I just typed with both eyes closed.  Oh yes, I am that mulit-talented my friends.

By the end of the day, my boss asked what was wrong with my eyeballs, and when I looked in the mirror, this is what I saw staring back at me:

Reminds me of how I looked for most of my 20's!

(except that I had more fun back then!)

Let's hope that the effect wears off soon
before other body parts start drooping!

In the meantime,

If you have get a chance, you should check out
two blogs:

1. Canadian Blogger Girl
as she is doing her own version of a Blog of Note
except she is Canucking you instead!
So go and nominate a blog you like or
nominate yourself.  Don't be shy
self promotion is good!

2. Simple Dude in a Complex World
He is selling for the low low low price
of a $1.99 an ebook he has published
on how to get your blog noticed and
to find new followers. If that is your thing,
you should check it out because he is the King
when it comes to self promoting his blog
and a bit of my hero that way (but ssshhh,
don't tell him that).

As for me, well I think I am going to lie down until I gain
full use of my body and personality again!

Cheers for now my lovely friends.
