The winter doldrums have passed with the coming of the sun and warmer weather. Lots of wonderful fruits and vegetables too. I bought my new Food Network Magazine Food Network Magazine to read at lunch and saw this recipe for Vanilla Mousse Cheesecake. I decided on the spot that I was making this tonight. I did. We haven't eaten it yet as it is still chilling. I bought fresh strawberries to go on it too. Yes I followed the recipe and no it is definately not non or low fat! (2 pounds of cream cheese!)

Things on the fibro front are getting more and more interesting. First, upping my dose of gabapentin from 300 MG two times a day to 600 MG twice a day has taken care of a lot of the pain. So much so that now just a couple of over the counter pain relievers will knock it out. Second, once the pain was managable, I realize that I was still exhausted although I was sleeping now and not tossing and turning from the pain. When I saw my intrepid doctor yesterday he let me know there s nothing specific they can do for exhaustion but that a shot of B-12 might help. If so that is a quick and easy fix. If not, it wasn't going to hurt me. Boy oh boy did it work. I was able to go right to sleep last night and woke up easily this morning. I went through the day without the drag of exhaustion, went to Borders and Wal-Mart after work and was still feeling good when I got home. Baked the cheesecake, tried out the treadmill, made dinner and here we are. I am tired now but I did get up at 2:45 this morning. I hope it hangs on. Tomorrow I am going to check out the health food store and see if I can find the sublingual B-12 so I don't have to go to the doctor every time I start to run down. Since I am at the start of a 6 day work stretch I hope it hangs on.

I am at the end of my Physical Therapy for my feet as well. I had messed up the tendons probably from being on concrete 8 hours a day and not wearing the most supportive shoes. I am so happy to be wble to work and walk again!

So here's to March. The start of new things and pain free living!
