Faulty Thermostat

Most everybody has a thermostat in their house. Although it doesn't keep the house at the precise temperature you set, it notes when the temp is off and makes minute corrections to bring it back. If you set it at 80 degrees



then the thermostat turns the air of furnace on when the temp reaches 81 or 82 and runs until it is 78 or 79 degrees.

Our bodies have thermostats also. This is centered in the hypothalamus (part of the brain) when we are too hot or too cold. What most people don't know is that fibromyalgia messes with the thermostat control.

Today, I woke up with a migraine. This is nasty in itself. Most people know about migraines, so I won't detail.

While suffering with this, I was laying or lying (I can never remember which is correct) on my bed, I had the fan on. This is always on, btw. Then the temperature problems started.

With probably minute cycles, I went from hot to cold to hot to cold, etc. I dealt with this by flipping the sheet on or off. It would be too much bother to get up and turn the fan off and on. As I'd get hot, I'd have the sheet off. I'd start sweating. The fan blew the sweat off. I got cold, really really cold. I'd flip the sheet on. I'd shiver. I'd get hot. Rinse and repeat.

It was like the thermostat set at 97 went to 100 to 94 and back, constantly overshooting the target temp.

As I said, this would cycle in minutes time, but went on for hours till I finally fell asleep. It was soooo frustrating! I remember yelling out, "Knock it off!" "Stop it already!" and various other expletives (all g-rated, I assure you).

I just wanted to share my (*&%*%#$&%&) day. Thanks for listening. Peace, out.

For the record - you DO count as friends and/or family on my blog! I haven't updated for a very long long time. You are about the third person that's mentioned that I don't have their blog listed. Don't take it personally - it's all I can do to get dressed and feed my children some days! Sorry to hear about the migraine -- those really stink!

Hello Everyone!

I have been looking to figure out a place to start with the Acai free trial an was just wanting to know if someone had any thoughts on whether or not it works for dieting? So far here's the only [url=http://acaiberries.zoomblog.com/]article[/url] I've been able to check out that seemed real for the goals I have. Opinions?

Hey - I'm sorry you hate having to click through from Google Reader! I switched it because when you go to my blog page itself, I get credit from BlogHer for a "view." But if you read my entire post through a reader, I get no credit.

Although this may seem regrettably mercenary to you (and it seems that way to me, too!), I'm going to stick with it. I figure I spend on average 45 minutes a day writing a post with an eye to entertaining people; so I want my measly penny for it. If I haven't made it worth it to the reader to do that extra click, well...that's my fault, right? Mea culpa!

Peace.

Oh, and nice to meet you!

Also, I'm glad I clicked through to your site - I had never heard of the Libby Roderick song you quote at the top of your page. I'm going to download it for my teen daughter. Thanks!

Suburban Correspondent said...

Off topic, because you don't have a public email:

NO! I didn't mean to slam you in my post. But I did want to point out that I wouldn't have found the song if I hadn't gone to your site. Love, love, love that song and I am so glad I found it (for reasons I can't share here) - so it's GOOD that you left me that comment, see?

Also, several people in the comments gave very good reasons why it is inconvenient to click through. So, for now anyway, the feeds are back to "full."
