~I became sick in 2005. I created this blog in the summer of 2006 to record my "headache" diary and to see if anyone finds it interesting.
~12/2006 I lost my job then after, failed a year of college.

Today for instance, I thought I'd be having a good spoon day as I got to bed earlier than usual but I woke up with LESS spoons than normal so I had to reschedule activities and chores.


OMG i have those days ALLL the time! aaaah they are sooo frustrating. especially if you work and they bug you about letting them know ahead of time if you'll be out or something. ha, yeah like that can happen so practically for us with this problem...haha thank God my mom is paying me to help her homeschool my lil sis and bro cuz she can cuz me breaks (she has fibro also)
