brightlotusmoonI knew the fibro and CP flare-up was beyond severe when I took a second dose of Soma today. And it worked better than the first.
*cries*
The good news is that I have enough Soma to last a couple of months with the way I take it, and my doctor is so pleased with my progress that she is happy to refill it. And my new insurance makes it affordable, even.
But still. The human body should not have to endure this sort of pain on a constant basis, you know?
I give thanks to Natalja, who has sent me samples of her Choco Butter Moisturizer that smells like the best chocolate vanilla coconut cake ever, and I use it as a lip balm and it has been sort of helping to keep my sanity in check. She gave me a very generous coupon for the affordable full size, for which I am grateful, because I think smelling a vanilla chocolate coconut concoction constantly may save me from stabbing something. Anyone who says aromatherapy doesn't work can kiss my middle finger, because oh endorphins.
My skin has gotten much better. I've been using Vicki's stuff every day and it shows. Finally, without foundation or concealer my face looks clear and glowy, where before it looked red and blotchy. (For those who marvel at my supposedly crystal clear skin in photos, that's just good makeup and good lighting and good camera angles.) I have also been pleased with the skin-clearing results of the turmeric, probiotic, prebiotic, and proteolytic enzyme regimen. If you have blemishes or redness or dry skin, I recommend it.
Speaking of: Vicki, I really am working on text for your website, but my brain has been whirling and screaming. I think we may need to do some sort of real time chat or something, like Facebook or Google Talk, to figure things out. Also, argan oil is unbelievable. You should add it to the Sun Protective Lotion. Instant glow-maker.
Adam had a screwy day working with the various international representatives for the G-20 summit. Russia seems a little irked. Not Adam's fault that the equipment wasn't working properly, but he is trying to make things better, and he always does. He is like MacGuyver for the computer world. But still. Shit happens.
Charlotte bought the Rob Thomas CD "Cradlesong" with me in mind, since it contains my pain anthem "Her Diamonds." I am grateful. Tomorrow we will have a girls' day together.
Writing: I am almost done with this ass-kicking chapter. Hah.
