IBS

In one study, 32% of people with IBS also had fibromyalgia symptoms, compared with 4% of people without IBS. Another study showed fibromyalgia occurring in 20% of people with IBS. And studies have estimated 32% to 70% of people with fibromyalgia also meet criteria for IBS. Both are functional disorders. There isn’t anything wrong with the structure of the organs, but with how they work.(http://www.webmd.com/fibromyalgia/features/fibromyalgia-and-irritable_bowel-syndrome) Ibs or ibs like symptoms are embarrassing but very real! I have had these sypmtoms all my life but they have recently gotten worse. Diet if a big factor, I've hit a road block in my diet and excersice due to back pain, I have kind of given up. I need to get back on track and eat healthy again it will be much easier once we move home and there are more healthy options like fresh produce and more whole, raw foods.


 Here are 2 links that have some home remedies for ibs I hope they help! http://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/natural-medicine/home-remedies/home-remedies-for-irritable-bowel-syndrome.htm

Scentsy

I am soooo excited I am officially a scentsy consultant!! I love the products and it is something that I can do to make a little money to help contribute and it isnt a lot of physical work that will be too hard to handle between my 7 months old and my fibro. My fibro has been really bad lately and there is no way I could wake up in the mornings and get ready and go to a full time job. I can barely take care of my house and my son through out the day. I am really hoping that this will be both fun and help with a little extra money :)

Realization

So my breast reduction got denied for the third time because my husband is getting out of the marine corp next month and they dont want to pay for it. I am sad and mad and frustrated! I have come to realize that it isnt gonna happen unless we pay for it even though I have 8 years of documentation and 4 different doctors saying I need it. My back will continue to hurt :( I have been in so much pain lately I cant keep up on my house work and its getting hard to hold my 6 month old son because he weighs almost 20 pounds. I have been trying to loose weight but its very hard when the only exercise I can do is walking, I'm not gonna get very far with only being able to walk. Its a viscous circle I hurt cause i have 10 pounds to loose but there isnt much I can do about it because of the pain. I have had a kink in my neck for days and I cant even turn it to the right. Having my son has defiantly made my fibro worse but i would not change anything! He is amazing and I love him so much if I could go back in time I would still have him!!

Update :)

So sleep has not gotten any better. I have to take an ambien to sleep at all or stay asleep at all. all of my joints hurt so bad I can barely do anything, I cannot take any pain medication just in case my breast reduction gets approved. The pain killers mixed with my zoloft cause excess bleeding so because of the high risk during surgery I cant take anything so I have been miserable the past week or so. I ordered some glucosamine chindroitin with msm today so hopefully it will help! I really hope that once we move and get settled in my body will start to feel a little better, I dont know how much longer I can handle this. I can hardly even hold my son.
