Dealing with Mom again. Yesterday, she called me to come over as she was having back pain and wanted to take an Advil. (Dont ask me why she needed me there, I don't know either!)
She's taken a slight downturn in health, having some odd back pain nearly 2 weeks now. But she has no idea if its muscle pains or something else. When she doesn't know, she labels it fibromyalgia. I'm not discounting that as a real thing; its just her way of dealing things in her mind.
Because the pain keeps her awake at night, if this keeps up, she will be back where she was a while ago, not sleeping and having terrible anxiety. The more her anxiety, the less she sleeps. The less she sleeps, the more anxious she becomes. Its a strange struggle for her. And talking about it doesn't change things.
I guess its like trying to change someone's mind - she can be so stubborn at times! And the acorn doesn't fall from the tree.... I can be that way too. Haha
