#HNT: The Reason For My Slacking
by admin on Oct.01, 2010, under A-OK
So, I’ve been slacking hardcore on the posts and the #hnts. I know that, and I apologize to those of you who have missed my blog presence. The major reason for my slacking is a lack of motivation which is caused mostly by my health issues: 2-ish months ago, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, a neuromuscular disorder that causes fatigue, chronic pain, and a heightened and painful response to pressure. It’s a disorder that doctors still don’t know much about. There is no cure for it, only treatment of the symptoms, but it’s kind of a crap shoot as far as what kind of medication will help which FMS sufferer.
FMS seems to be genetic (my mom has had it for 12-ish years) and doctors think it’s triggered by some sort of trauma (accident or illness). In my case, I think it was a car accident that happened in August of ’08, in which I was hit from behind on the freeway. At first, I thought I just had whiplash, and so I started going to a chiropractor. But as the time went on and my pain became worse and was accompanied by fatigue, and then when I saw a report that said FMS was thought to be genetic, I decided I should get my doctor to check that out. And, sure enough…
On top of the FMS, though, I’m also slightly diabetic, so I’ve had to go to the lab multiple times to get blood drawn:
Since I’ve been dealing with pain and major fatigue, and experimenting with different medications to see what works to curb my symptoms (some of which have ADDED to my fatigue), I just haven’t been up to doing much, especially not taking sexy pictures and attempting to write about sex toys.
BUT, things are looking up. I’m starting to feel better, the fatigue is lessening, I actually have the energy to be up and doing stuff instead of just lounging on the couch and taking my daily nap. I also just got a big shipment of toys to review, so I’ll be adding reviews and hopefully getting some REAL #HNTs taken and posted!
So, stay tuned!
