Greetings,
Sorry it has been so long. I decided that I would wait until I could come up with something related to FM rather than just going through detailing my own existence along with great piles of stuff not related to FM. Well, I have sort of come up with something. I will tell you right now that this will not be one of my best posts because I am going to just have a bit of a chat.
So, out with my wife today travelling by public transport. This can be a simple matter and a reasonable joy or it can be a real chore I can tell you. Now, the public transport in Brisbane is not all that bad, even if it is one of the most expensive in the world. Things run reasonably on time and where they are supposed to go and so forth, so there are no complaints about Brisbane Transport in this blog. Some of those who use these services, that is another matter.
There are those who use the transport because they have to (like me), and there are those who choose to because it is better for their health, or it is easier than trying to find parking or whatever. Each to their own...
My first occurrence today was a pair of "gentlemen" and I use that title extremely loosely. They did not use a card nor did they bother to purchase themselves a ticket. More to the point the pair of them looked like they were looking for trouble. They were talking at the height of their voices, bitching about the price of transport for starters, the irony did not hit them at all. Little do they realise that their non-compliance with paying for a ticket is one of the reasons why Brisbane Transport justifies putting the prices up.
My second, I got on a bus sat down in one of the seats near the front with my wife. Comfortably sitting in the spot having a chat. Then some older lady gets on the bus, looks at the pair of us glares and then finds somewhere else to sit. Like she was expecting us to get up and move. This is not the first occurrence of this at all, once again it comes down to the "invisible illness" issue.
I am extremely tempted to buy a walking stick just so I can have it with me so there is something visible that says that there is a problem and maybe people should not judge so quickly. In this I just get irritated by the expectation that because I am younger I will instantly move because the older person wants to sit there. Sure, if it is the last seat on the bus, I may have moved, but it was not. The "lady" had to go a whole one seat back on the bus to get to another one. The shock. The horror of it all. Please do excuse the sarcasm.
Anyway, I am thinking that there may be more entries to come. However, I would not hold your collective breaths on this one. I feel that this blog has come to a stage where I am just going to write when I get the inspiration to do so. I had considered taking the whole thing down but was counselled against it as I have some regular readers who get worth out of my ramblings. You can thank them for the continued presence of my blog.
Cheers,
Henry.

Clumsiness
Greetings,
People with fibromyalgia will relate to this one instantly... "You reach over to take something, grab it successfully and then, in the process knock something over on the way back." Next think you know someone is accusing you of being clumsy, and admittedly the failure here could be related to this. One thing I have noticed however is that this is not improved by FM.
The post which follows is a little personal as it relates to something which plagued me while I was a child and has only gotten worse thanks to the fibromyalgia. I am talking about being clumsy, about attempting something and then for some inexplicable reason your hands or whatever do not do what they are supposed to do and a mess is made. Sure everyone has their days where things are not going right, but for some of us it is systemic.
As a child my hand-eye coordination was horrible, so much so that I was sent to a physical therapist in order to improve this situation. It helped, but I can tell you that it had only been through lots and lots of work repeating actions and being very careful about things that it has improved. This is one of those times where playing console and other games really has helped me. Well, just as things were looking up FM, arrived to haunt my days.
Now I have days where I feel like I am back in the body of that clumsy little child. Things go wrong, I knock things over, I make a mess at times where something seems simple. Sometimes for me it is an achievement to get through a day without me knocking something over or spilling something or something similar. On these days I have to be especially careful. I suspect that this has something to do with neurons not firing or something or other all I know is that it is bloody annoying and really frustrating.
So, some of my regular readers are going to ask me, "But you fence, how can you achieve this with such an issue?" Practice, practice, practice. Oh, yeah, and some days where stuff just goes wrong and I get hit lots. Learning new skills for me takes a long time, and a lot of going over the same thing again, and again, and again. Needless to say with the time that I have had fencing, I have had a lot of time to do this.
So, I have two points to make with regard to this:
1) If you have FM you may not actually be as clumsy as you think you are, you may just be having one of those days where the "brain fog" travels in to a more physical situation. We have issues with nerves and so forth don't be too surprised if it is this rather than you just being clumsy.
2) For those who do not have FM. Stop. Think. Is this person just having a bad day? Is there an issue which you cannot see which may be going on? Please try not to point out the clumsy bits and incidences and make too much of a deal about them, they are probably having a hard enough time on their own, and are probably more frustrated than you are.
In my own case, I know that things are going to take work. I know that I will have days where things are going to be annoying as hell. So I figure that I will do as I usually do, work through it. Work on it, and try not to beat up on myself too much when stuff happens.
Cheers,
Henry.

The Future
Greetings,
Just a really short one...
Recently I had a crisis of the mind. I had serious considerations as to whether or not I was going to remove this blog from the internet. For all my avid readers, you will be glad to hear that I have decided to leave it where it is in order that information presented can still be used by those who find it interesting and/or useful to them. I have thoughts that I may make future posts on here, should I get inspired at the time, however these entries will be sporadic to put it politely. I thank all of my kind readers for their support of this blog and I hope that I will find something suitably inspiring to put on here again, at least sometime in the future.
Cheers,
Henry.

Onward and Upward...
Greetings,
It has been a while since I wrote anything here and the last was a little bit "doom and gloom" for my liking so I will be aiming at changing the tempo a little and lifting the things up a bit. So, there will be some updates with the way things are going, as per usual, and then I will just have to see what I end up with writing towards the end, so good luck to both of us.
News: I have specialists, most of whom do not want to see me until next year. Awesome. Renal specialist wants to keep an eye on things but is for the most part happy with the way things are going. Respiratory specialist is happy with the way things are going so does not want to see me until next year. Endocrine/Bone specialist does not want to see me for at least two years. Hepatology specialist gets seen in a couple of days time and I do not think that there will be much new news there. So the methotrexate is getting increased to combat the sarcoid in my liver... not really that much difference to tell you the truth.
As for the lower abdominal pain, it seems to be on the retreat for the most part. There was some free fluid floating around there, or so the CT Scan said, but it seems to be settling itself out. Sure, bits of pain here and there still, but hell, it is only pain and I am pretty used to that. I am thinking that at the current rate that one should be off my list in a couple of weeks. I will be taking the CT to show the Hepatology people just to keep them informed and see if they have any ideas, I am not expecting much really.
Other news: I have my first official training day for my new fencing school this weekend. As of this weekend it really is a reality. This is one of those life-long dream things happening finally for me. It is just the first step on a much longer path and I am really looking forward to it I can tell you. The big part of this will really get going early next year. I have mentioned this school previously in other posts so I will not go on with it much.... alright just a bit.
Ever since I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia I have been looking for a job or something similar which would fit the random schedule which the FM tends to deal me. I figured it had to be something that I loved, but also something which could be managed around myself and my issues. "Normal" jobs just did not seem to fit the bill as it was always someone else's timetable, rather than one modified to my needs. I love my fencing, as anyone who knows me will tell you, addicted would be putting it mildly. So I figured if I could combine the "owner-operator" and "love of fencing thing" then I would be set. Looks like things are headed well in the right direction I can tell you.
I figure that the first thing a person with FM needs is something to get them out of bed in the morning. This has to be something which you love and just cannot think of a better thing to be doing. For me it is my fencing, or researching fencing, or doing something with regard to fencing. Go out and find what that thing is for you. It does not matter how small it is, or even what it is, if it gets you out of bed and makes you feel good that is a path to a better life.
Other people try and motivate us, unfortunately because they are not us they can not understand what is going on with us. It does not matter how close the person is, or even if they have the same condition, it is a personal thing. We can do our best to explain what is going on but something will always get lost in translation. So, the best place for the motivation to come from is within you. This is really the same for everyone, chronic illness or not, self-motivation is much stronger than any motivation an external source can provide. Find something that will motivate you from within and you will be surprised what you can achieve.
In my case my love of fencing motivates me and does a lot for my pain levels. I do not feel as uncomfortable, even on my worst days, when I am doing something with regard to my chosen passion. The focus required for what I do takes away from the focus on the pain, and as a result improves how I feel. Sure there are days where all I can do is research and read about it, but those are days in which I store up knowledge for the days when I can pick up my sword and do it. There are even days when I am lethargic about going to training or a tournament, once I put my armour on and pick up my sword and get going, those lethargic thoughts seem to blend away. Sure on a rough day I do not move as smoothly as I would like, and I sure pay for it afterward, but the hours with a sword in my hand are more than enough reward for me.
Find your passion, find your motivation, and go onward and upward. You may be surprised where you find yourself in the future and what you can achieve when you apply all of yourself to it. All you have to do is start.
Cheers,
Henry.

New Amazing Diet... Lose 4kg in 1 week...
Greetings,
No, I am not going to try and sell you anything, but I bet it got your attention. One thing is true, however, I have lost 4kg in a week, and I can tell you it was not voluntary. I have been having some issues with my lower abdomen, went to the doctor found out that I had a "torted epiploic appendage". Yup, a little bit of my large intestine got twisted. In order to relive this you get put on a liquid diet, it gives the bowels a rest and allows the body to figure itself out. Once I could put up with but this twice around business is ridiculous. More lower abdominal pain, another liquid diet for a week. Oh, and it seems MS Contin does not agree with me anymore, another pain-killer off my list, side-effect of that was worse than the pain itself.
In other news one week ago today I had a liver biopsy. Essentially get a large needle push it through the chest wall, hit the liver get a sample and your done, except for the having to lay on your back for six hours. Oh, yeah, and the screaming agony once the sedative and pain-killers wear off. Needless to say this one woke the FM up for a big visit and has been telling me about it ever since. I am hoping to be back to my usual self in a week.
Oops, I forgot, my latest dose of lower abdominal pain piggy-backed itself on the liver biopsy, just for some added pain, and I got the results for the biopsy... sarcoid in the liver it would seem. Not happy. Hopefully more news to hand later.
On the more "good news" side of things the aberrations in my kidney functions seem to have settled. I officially have kidneys that work at 75% capacity. Not seeing the specialist there for a year, unless things go "funny" again with them. The bone doctor says that the osteoporosis is on the retreat and he does not want to see me for two years, which is excellent.
Well, things sure have not been boring around here the past month or so. I am hoping to keep more up to date, though I do not like my chances. I will when I can. Anyway, I am hoping that you have had a less exciting time than I have, at least in the same manner.
Cheers,
Henry.

An Open Letter to Politicians
Greetings,
The message which follows is not the usual thing that I put up on my blog here. This is one which has something to do with fibromyalgia in a slanted sort of way, but more directly this is a small political statement which I think I need to get out of my system. I will return you all to your usual reading shortly. What follows is an open letter to all politicians be they local, state or national parliamentarians.
"A man of the people, for the people."
Dear Politicians,
When you give your great election speeches you claim that you are talking about serving the members of your various electorates. You claim that you are serving our country in our best interests. You claim that you are looking out for the people that you represent. I would challenge you all with regard to this one and now truly stand up for the people of your electorates.
The only person who votes whether or not you get a pay rise is you and your fellow politicians. I as a member of an electorate, and the people in general do not get a say as to whether you allow this to happen. The only way that we can make an impact upon these decisions is to approach you en mass in some form or another to make our grievances known. The only time that your positions are threatened by anything that you may or may not have done is once every four years.
I challenge you that next time the question of a pay rise comes up in your parliamentary discussions that you stand against this. Ask yourself whether you really need this pay rise, or whether there could be a place where this money could go which would truly benefit the members of your electorates. There are people out there who are in dire straits due to their financial situations and a boost at this troubled time for them would be a great boost to them. This is your chance for you to truly be "a man of the people, for the people" as your position would indicate that you are.
Yours sincerely,
Henry Walker.

Not Much to Write... Kinda
Greetings,
I have been looking at this blog a little and realised that it has been a while since I wrote anything, simply because, as indicated by the title I have had not much to write. I could go on with various medical bits and pieces which have been going on, but for the most part they really do not have anything to do with my FM, so not really "on topic" so to speak with regard to it all. However, I will summarise.
Hepatology Clinic - Went along due to some odd readings and findings of blood tests for liver function which were required for taking methotrexate for pulmonary sarcoidosis, which I have discussed previously. Ultrasound done, no answers there. So later this month there will be a liver biopsy. Joy... not.
Respiratory Clinic - Things going quite well here, sarcoidosis is clearing up nicely. I am hoping to have this one done and dusted in the next six months or so. Might be another year, but I am hoping not. I am guessing that my lungs are about 90% fixed again. This I am quite happy with.
Renal Clinic - Kidneys doing much the same as the liver, odd readings and so forth. More blood tests to come nothing major here to worry about. The messing with the medication is the thing that is annoying me with this one, off my anti-inflammatories so my knees are giving me hell of late. Of course the specialist's recommendation for this was a referral to an orthopedic surgeon, kinda scary in some ways. I would prefer back on the meds. Have to see what happens here.
Bone Clinic - Previously diagnosed with osteoporosis of a moderate level. This is also on its way out. Have had a Body Mass Density scan, this is more of an update to make sure everything is proceeding as it should be.
So I am calling this two and a half out of four issues being solved to some degree. The irritating thought of a fifth specialist kinda bothers me though. I figure I should keep some sort of record of what is going on here. Helps me keep track of what I am doing. Of course four specialists means lots of appointments here and there and lots of running around. You combine this with my various projects and it makes a person who could be sitting on the couch doing nothing, quite a busy person. Of course the sitting on the couch thing is just not me, so it is much less of a surprise.
Needless to say I spend most of the time ignoring all of this business because it could be easy for a person to get down about it all, and sure, sometimes I do. However I have found that doing stuff which you enjoy also helps a lot. Keep your mind on the good stuff and push the other to one side until it needs dealing with. No time for me to be miserable, I have things to do.
Cheers,
Henry.
