Yes, I got it. Pretty sure it’s from the occupational therapist, as none of the health care people mask, even though I do. She even offered to come for another appointment while I was actively positive. Sheesh! Took the paxlovid and am still taking tylenol and mucinex. Very tired, but not much coughing or anything. Unlike last time I was sick. Did not know about covid then, but pretty sure that’s what I had. So I have been resting, trying to eat three meals to keep up strength on advice of doctor. Ready meals, Saffron Road and Deep asian frozen meals, which are quite nice, oatmeal, ensure. All the good stuff that does not need me to do more than open a box and shove contents into zapper or toaster oven. Yay.
Homemaker back today, too. She works in our local hospital, too, so is well versed in precautions, but I did not have her come while I was still positive. Do not want to pass it on the anyone else.
Finally getting some sunny, windows open days, after day following day of gray, gray, gray. We’d better have a butt load of flowers in May, I’m telling you, after so many rainy days.
Have been feeling a little anxious for whatever reason, and last night I dreamed I was having an autistic meltdown (I have Asperger’s, not PC I know, but hey). I am lucky to not be personally affected at the moment by all the shit that is going down, but my DD in New Mexico, who had her father’s Italian olive skin, is quite worried about being stopped by ICE, as is happening to a lot of people where she is. Scary times, and I will never forgive or make allowances for the f-ing morons who voted for this.

Hello from the UK
Thank you for your post. I read your ‘About’ so I see you have fibromyalgia which is horrible. I have a facial palsy myself which came on in July 2018. I am deaf in one ear and I struggle with energy issues at the moment so I tend to take each day as it comes but I don’t suffer real pain as you do.
I eventually identified the primary cause as sodium nitrite (E250) poisoning which was in bacon I ate. There is more to it and I have done a post on sodium nitrite should you be interested.
As regards fibromyalgia, I have this love of anagrams which seem to reveal truths about various things so I tried ‘fibromyalgia’.
The first phrase from the anagram machine was ‘Borgia family’. The Borgias were well known for various crimes including poisoning people. I therefore suspect that you will find poisoning is the cause of your illness.
Anyway, I hope you keep blogging, you write some interesting things.
Thank you. Good to know some things I write are interesting. I just seem to write about whatever’s on my mind at that moment. Been struggling a lot recently, and typing with one hand is very difficult, but my arm is regaining some mobility slowly, so two-handed typing is back. Yay. LOL
How much bacon did you eat to cause poisoning. I rarely eat bacon. I developed fibro symptoms not long after getting a hepB vaccine I needed for work, but there has never been any evidence of cause and effect. I think the thing about childhood trauma and tense muscles is a more sensible reason in my mind. I have developed several other diagnoses in recent years, so fibro is kind of not at the forefront of my thinking about my issues. But when you have several problems that all have similar symptoms, how do you know which one is causing today’s miseries? And another thing. Because of the TIA I had, they have convinced me to take statins, which I really did not want to do, but dying of a stroke isn’t that appealing either. But side effects of statins are more of the same. Fatigue, muscle pain. I am having serious, mobility affecting, muscle pain and am going to see my doctor to discuss the statins again. You just cannot win with modern medicine.
Anyway, thank you for the likes and comment, and I really hope things get better for you soon. 🙂
