Brain Fog and Pain

Fibro Babes is sorry she has not been writing recently!   She is not very good in the winter!  She has not only been in loads of pain, but her brain fog has been terrible.   For readers who don't understand brain fog.  It is when you brain feels fuzzy, your memory is poor, you lose everything and your concentration goes out of the window!


No light

Fibro Babes had no lights working in the kitchen and the bathroom, it resulted in the electrician coming out today to sort the problem out! Using a torch in the bathroom was no fun!





Red Rose

Fibro Babes was delighted to find a red rose outside her front door last night!  It matches the new door!




In the Walls

Fibro Babes has had enough!  She seems to be living on the sofa or bed.  Her elbow is locked and her left foot is up like a ballon.  She can't use to two crutches due to the elbow.  She has had no sleep due to pain.   Her doctors have been very understanding but want her to see her specialist.  Sadly, her specialist is snowed in!  She blames the British weather for this flare!  Suppose there is plenty of free ice to cool the joints down!


Reading

Fibro Babes is frustrated as she finds reading impossible.  She can't concentrate!   Also holding a book can be painful, the text also makes her dizzy!






Help

Granny Annie, Jemima the black labrador and Fibro Babes need help!  Please can the Nation help!  The Plumber thinks we are going to be sinkless as the sink's part has had it!  The sink is over 35 years old can't get parts or replace sink.  





Masks

Fibro Babes and Granny Annie think the most sensible option for the kitchen is to start wearing masks!





Nasty mould is not good for asthma and ME! 


Kitchen

Fibro Babes is not too happy today!  The kitchen floor is black with mould, another leak!  The whole kitchen is falling apart!  Some family just say get the Council to rehouse you!  They won't as we are housed.  We can't afford to replace the kitchen.   Fibro Babes does not have energy to move.  When you live in 24 hour pain this is the last thing you want to do in the world!  

Blog

Fibro Babes promises her readers that she will do more on the blog this year!   The problem with the fibro/ME is her concentration levels are extremely poor!  So writing can be difficult!



Kitchen Falling Apart!

Our kitchen is falling apart it is now about 35 years old.  It is becoming like a swimming pool with all the leaks!   Two builders have looked at it and have concerns about electrics under the sink and pipes falling apart.   We need to win the lottery!
