Feeling better. The physical fatigue is much improved, and even the customary pain in my feet is better (yes, I have aching feet all the time for no apparent reason, it's weird, but a known sign of FMS for some reason). No headaches, no stiff neck.
My brain is also finally starting to function properly again, thank goodness. I used to have this incredibly strong, flexible mind, I could do all kinds of stuff. Never had to write stuff down (okay, I had to write numbers down because of the dyscalculia), never had to take notes, never forgot things, could multi-task like a demon (bet you didn't know demons multi-task, didja?). There's a saying, "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most," and that's just how I feel. It's incredibly frustrating not to have that ability to do multiple things and remember stuff and just plain get stuff done. I hate it. The chronic pain is, well, a pain, the physical fatigue is annoying and occasionally worrisome, but the lack of mental acuity really, really, really bothers me.
Anyway, the increased magnesium seems to be helping, or perhaps it's just that the flare-up is subsiding on its own, but whatever it is, I'm feeling better and able to think and do more. I expect to be good to go very, very soon, thank Deity.
