Chronic Pain Today

Well last night was a bad one for me, I was at the race track for two hours and I couldn’t stay. Had to have someone come get me (an hour drive) because of it. I felt horrid to do that, and the guilt led to more stress that just ended up making me feel worse. I really wanted to stay too as both the hubby and the best friend were racing. Alas, it wasn’t to be.

What was the issue? Intense Pain? No. Ironically it seems that hypoglycemia and fibro are very well connected and yesterday I was having serious issues trying to keep my blood sugar up. Eating sweets raised it quicker but it didn’t stay raised hardly any time. I gave up, went home and started in on the sweet tea and peanut butter sandwiches. It aggravates me because I get sooooo tired and headachy afterwards, plus I’m so dizzy and lightheaded. Its an awful feeling and one that I’d rather just be home for.

Then I noticed how frequently I tend to go home whenever I get a bad day. Home is my touchstone it seems, the place where I can more readily deal with my issues and be “in my element”. I’ve heard others say its like that for them. Hubby says “I don’t see whats different if you feel bad here or go home and feel bad”, but there really IS a difference isn’t there readers? I welcome your thoughts.
