My Apologies for The Earlier Post
Hi, I'm back and maybe my brain is functioning better.
The doctor says my grandson has a "virus" causing him to have cold like symptoms and the breaking out. He suggested zyrtec and benadryl (I learned to spell that since the earlier post - I looked at the box). I really didn't think either of those were for a "virus" but for allergies. I think he was right in the meds but not the diagnosis. By the time they got home, he was just about covered in the bumps again. They start to join in a patch as more surface. I think the drug he was allergic to will just have to wear off. The sore it was far looks much better. With Zyrtec and Benadryl both, any allergens should be cut short.
I have spent most of my day moving this blog from blogspot to my website. It can now be reached from links on almost all of the pages. I didn't add it to the Kids Stuff or any of the shopping pages except the main page. The address has changed to http://www.mamarosegifts.com/blog1/mamasramblings.html .
I am also trying to find out about adding RSS feeds to my website for page content. If anyone reading can tell me what kind software I need. It needs to read as html. I am aware of a couple of ways but I think there must be something simpler. Anyone with any suggestion, please click the comments link below and I will post them as soon as possible.
I still don't have the newsletter out but I am going to work on it right now.
I have fibromyalgia. If you are familiar with it, you will understand what I am about to say. If not, I will explain. I have had a flare up for the last 4 days. Moving around is extra painful and my concentration is scattered. I am having problems focusing on anything. I usually do some housework and do the cooking. Those have been almost impossible for most of the last week. Today was the worst. I managed to get out of bed and told my daughter I felt like the statue of Atlas holding the world up.
For those who aren't familiar with fibromyalgia, it is a syndrome, a group of otherwise unrelated conditions or illnesses. They aren't terminal but sometimes you almost wish they were. The main ones are sleep disorders, depression, and very tender, achy muscles. Some describe it as "flu like symptoms". I have read two very good descriptions. Every muscle in my body feels like it has a toothache. Every muscle in my body feels it needs to throw up. Both are very fitting. Along with the pain and the other conditions that I won't go into, there is what is called the "fibro fog". This is the confusion, lack of ability to concentrate, lack of focus, and forgetfulness. Thankfully, the worst of all of this does come and go but it never completely goes away.
The fibro-fog is my excuse for not getting the newsletter done, yet. I keep thinking that it will get better tomorrow. I guess I will just jump in and get it done anyway. I don't know how much sense this post has made but I will try to better next time.
If any reader has FS and would like to add comments to this, please do so and I will post them in a later post.
I hear my daughter coming in the door and I know she is hungry. She has already called and said to start supper. I told her it would probably be sandwiches. It is too hot to cook and I don't feel like it anyway.
Bye for now,
Be back soon, Be well and God Bless,
