Trying to Figure Out Life with Fibromyalgia: Flare Up

Unfortunately I'm going through a flare up right now. Worst part is I was hired back part time under at World Market. The flare up has been causing such bad pain that I cry at times. So, it's difficult to work under these circumstances, and had to resign from working. I went to my doctor and I'm adding a new medicine to my regimen, amitriptyline. I hope it helps my insomnia and pain because it's difficult dealing with it. It's hard because I want to be out and doing things, but my body hurts and I get exhausted when I have barely done anything. Today I was walking around a lot and now my feet are swollen. You can barely see the lines in my toes, and there are no lines or veins on the top of my feet. I am on a diuretic, but only every other day. I think it needs to be every day since it's not really helping.

On the optimistic side of life I am very hopeful in the success of my jewelry business. I am an independent consultant for a company called Paparazzi. I have had success with only having very little inventory. This next weekend I am going to vendor at a Craft Sale and I will have some new inventory to show. I hope this helps get my name more out there. There aren't any other consultants for the company in the tri-city area I live in. So, I don't have much competition! The company and the jewelry is great! It's five dollar jewelry that is super cute and trendy. I even sell little girls jewelry! It's fun to get to know new people through this. I just really hope to have the energy and excitement so people can really tell I love Paparazzi! I ordered some stuff for advertisement and promotion. I got a banner for my table at shows and what not, a t-shirt that says, "I heart Paparazzi!", and also some business cards. I plan on handing them out to everyone I meet. Good night, and have a fabulous day! :)
