After having so many problems with the forum to this site, which is still a mess and my host has gone MIA as well, but they still collect the monthly fee for the hosting service, might figure they would huh?
Its been awhile since I been to this blog, have to figure out where things are at all over again.
But, I am thinking about doing some blogging again.

We have been having such an awful time finding adequate lighting for our deck that we added a few years ago, we have tried so many different type and styles, to many to even remember. But I was determined to find lights that would work, be attractive and didn’t light up the entire neighborhood.
A good search took me to several sights, and then I finally found out about a place called
Murray Feiss Lighting, and their large selection of outdoor Wall Lanterns are just perfect, plus the fact that they offer Free Shipping, well that was enough to convince me right there. I have not made up my mind what style we want yet, but I am leaning toward the “August Moon” style.

Well its been quite some time since my last blog post. My health issues continue to be a problem for me, I still have the Tinnitus and am slowly coming to the conclusion that I am going to have this the rest of my life.
I still refuse to let it control my life, I have good days and bad days, on my bad days, the ringing gets so loud that I can’t hear people on a cell phone anymore. My sleeping has improved a great deal, so as long as I can continue to get a good nights sleep, then I find that I can pretty much deal with anything that the following day might have in store for me.
The only good news I can report is that my pain is now in control since the addition of Tramadol around 2 months ago , and it took some up and down episodes with break through pain beforre it finally started to back down to the point that I can at least sleep at nights now.
I was actually quite surprised when I logged in here tonight and see so many comments waiting for my approval, so that means I still have readers here.
I would love to get back into my blogging, but I have so much catching up to do, so I will start with this post and see where I go from here.
I hope everyone has been doing well…..I have missed you.

For the past few months, I have been dealing with sleeping problems, its related to a very painful condition that I live with on a daily basis called “Fibromyelgia”. I have to be very careful with sleeping aids, because they can cause me be hung over and I can’t risk falling. mach zehnder modulator So I did an online seach for a natural sleeping aid and came across a product called Stemulite.
The fact that its an all natural product got my attention, and there are some other added benefits with this product as well, and being that it is all natural, there are no side effects and most important of all, no hung over effect like with so many other sleeping aids. So I will be ordering this online shortly.

After many months of PAIN, PAIN that was keeping me awake, zapping what little energy I had and leaving me in tears on most days. I finally had some blood work done, and my diagnosis of Fibromyelgia was confirmed.
Yesterday I got a trigger point injection for my left shoulder, I could hardly move my arm anymore, and they put me on meds for the Fibro, and what a difference a day makes. My pain has been GONE now for over 24 hours, my energy level is returning and I feel like a new person.

Who doesn’t love a truly great yard sale, each spring there are several community sales that get under way here. This year has been one of the best so far, I have managed to find some really good deals on lots of things, as well as hand rugs. I can remember my grandmother making rugs and they would never wear out. Today I was feeling really good, so I took advantage of that and spent a good part of the day just hitting all the sales, I got to talking to a really nice young lady who was very pregnant and looking for baby items and especially baby bedding. I had just left a sale a around a 1/2 hour earlier that had nothing a nice selection of baby cloths, bedding, and even some furniture. She made my day when she hugged me and thanked me for letting her know. She looked like she was ready to have that baby any moment too. So my day was a very enjoyable day.

Well lets just say I would not wish this on my worst enemy. But I am glad to report that even though I still have the ringing, I am not letting it control me.
I know that the Tinnitus is my body telling me to take time to slow down and to let go, and that it has been a combination of factors such as sinus problems, a neck injury, and last but not least, stress that have lead to this condition.
I also have TMJ and it causes me to clench my jaw when I sleep, I have a mouth appliance, but its really hard sleep with it in.
So now I am into bio feedback sessions for at least 30 minutes each day, which I do think are working, and with the help of the feedback I notice now that when I wake up my jaw is starting to relax.
I have been told by both my Chiropractor as well as my family physician that the Tinnitus is temporary, and I pray that it does turn out that way….but how long temporary can last is the question, it will be 2 months on the 20th of April since this hit me, but if it turns out to be part of my life for the rest of my life…then so be it, it will not control me….I refuse to let it have that much power over me.

I have now had this ringing called Tinnitus in my head for 6 weeks. The noise level varies a great deal and just figured out that the weather also plays a critical role in Tinnitus as well.
I have spend so much time just reading anything I can find online, so many products that claim to take away or help with the Tinnitus, but also just as many who say not to waste your money because most don’t work.
At this point the only thing I have tried has been Lipo Flavanoid, I have been taking it for around 3 weeks and notice no difference yet, but I will stick with it until the bottle runs out. I have also just ordered a few CD’s online that I am hoping will do what they claim. One CD is subliminal messaging from Brainwave Mind Voyage’s, and the other is white noise. They should be here about any day now and I am looking forward to their arrival.
My Chiropractor says this will go away…I just pray he is right.
