		<description><![CDATA[I've had the same rheumatologist for 4 years, now. The past few visits he's been telling me I'm really not that bad, when I just rest and stay unstressed. However, I surprised him today. He started up with the "So, what hurts?" and really not believing me. But then, wouldn't you know it, the part that was the most painful was the shoulder he just gave an injection to 6 weeks ago. Usually, the injections cause a great improvement, so now I am possibly being honest and undramatic when I say "I've been feeling worse and have been unable to exercise properly." In addition, here is an overview of my pain cycle and what helps it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My doctors all suggest exercise as a necessary part of fibromyalgia pain relief. Most studies suggest that lack of exercise leads to more pain and degenerated muscles. The goal is low-impact, low-stress exercise. However, my family (and my body) insist that I sit and do NOTHING. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although I rarely curse, I think it's fair to say that I am currently treading the locus of all points where several shit-storms converge.

Thanksgiving was a wake-up call for several truths:

   1. I adore my family (my parents, my brothers, my sister-in-law, my niece and nephews, and yes, my best friend and her parents, too), and wish we all lived within a half-hour drive of each other.
   2. Unlike my older brother, my half-sister is very aware of that "half"-status, and at best loves me in her way and has no idea what to do with me and at worst thinks of me as my mother's daughter more often than not, whenever she does think of me.
   3. My fibromyalgia is Out Of Control.
   4. My husband and I are no longer a team. In fact, we are each coming to resent each other, partially because neither of us is truly willing to live with my current limitations. However, he has a choice.

That being said, I come home and shortly after discover the ramifications and start to form a plan.]]></description>
