I apologize to friends that I owe messages to. My Fibro is out of control and I'm in the midst of medication changes. This flare up is so bad that my hands shake and I snipped a tip of my finger yesterday at work. (Stupid, stupid stupid) I didn't get on the dress i was working on, but it wouldn't stop bleeding (partly do to some of the medications). Today I have a pressure dressing on it with a finger cot, so maybe i can stitch a bit. DH is teasing me about how it looks, but it provides steady pressure and keeps it dry.

There must be something about the season -- I've been struggling as well, and not even stitching much.

I know it's of no help right now, but there is a company testing a medication specifically for fibro. Help is on the way! (As long as it doesn't wind up like Ampligen, which the FDA has been telling me for 18 years is "18 months from approval". At least they're consistent.)
