Being Proactive-ish

So, I have decided that I am sick of being achy all the time, depressed, and over weight so I am taking the steps, finally, to try and move toward a healthier happier me. I have kinda started going to the gym, and i say kind of because I went and was in a lot of pain afterwords so I kinda avoided going again. Then i went to the rhumotologist and am trying to come to terms with the fact that the aching I have isn’t normal. It’s all over and ranges from kinda noticable to unbearable. I am not sure how they diagnose one with fybromyalgia, I think it is basically a ruling out of everything else which apparently is what the blood work was for. So I am on 3 different meds for that now. I also made an appointment with a psychiatrist to work on my mental health. I have battled depression all my life and I am ready to get advise on tools I can use to overcome it. I figure since I hope to me working with mentally ill people perhaps i should get my own straightend out.

As for the meds, I took them for the first time last night and I was up at 3am and couldn’t go back to slee. I am feeling a little like I am high on cold meds, internally shaky and my head is fuzzy. However, the dr said that part of my pain at the gym is this fybromyalgia stuff so hopefully the meds will allow me to work out harder.

In other news the kids are doing great. Both are talking up a storm! I swear Aiden learns 2 new words a day! He knows where is belly and ears are and Landen is learning is colors and shapes – though he calls triangles pizza lol.

Andrew is doing okay, other than a bad backache. He is still working a lot but I don’t think that will change any time soon. We hear he is supposed to be a station commander here soon, so here’s to hoping!

I hope everyone is doing well and i will post more as it happens!
