Inner thigh chafing happens when your skin rubs together as you walk or run, and it becomes an even bigger problem for many as the weather heats up. Inner thigh chafing can be so uncomfortable it keeps a lot of people from being able to complete certain tasks or enjoy the day, especially when it won’t heal. Sometimes wearing pants won’t even help the situation, because one of the main causes of inner thigh chafing is tight clothing or fabric eating up your inner thighs. Ouch! When you think about it, how can it heal, when the friction continues as you go about your daily life!  (I know this is totally unrelated, but I needed to share!)

In December, it is traditionally a slow time for us as PrinterBees. It seems the normal online printing business we usually enjoy, appreciate and are so thankful for comes to an abrupt halt during the holiday season.  It’s a trend we now recognize, but what to do, what to do, what to do.

 

I still have people, vendors and expenses that need to be paid and I don’t like not being profitable. I am not a big risk taker when it comes to finances and a small dip in the red FREAKS ME OUT! Okay..I said it!

 

Now, I need to figure out what to do to compensate for our lack of steady business printing during what is the busy season for most, the holiday season. With a big duh! I realized that we need to print more holiday cards, after all that’s what people are printing in December. We need to beef up our designs to appeal to the “consumer side” of our B2B customers, with the thousands is clients we have, there has to be a portion of them that print holiday cards! These clients already use us for printing, they know the quality is awesome, but they think of PrinterBees as a business printer, not a holiday card printing site where you print holiday cards that are sent out to family.

 

We are a bit late to the party, but I’d rather be late than not show up at all. After looking at the collection of holiday cards available on Vista Print, that have been there for years, I have determined that we will be able  we will be able to use the collection of holiday cards for years to come as well.  We are adding about 50 new holiday card designs to the site today. It was a design frenzy, which will happen when so late to to the “Holiday Card Printing” party. I feel really good about the new designs we have and only hope we aren’t so late to the party that it doesn’t help.

 

Time for lots of praying and I hope you will stop by the PrinterBees site tomorrow when the new cards are launched. They really are very nice and our prices are better than most. Wish us luck!!!

You know you’ve had a rough day when the pain of having your muscles stretched as far as they can possibly be stretched feels better than just sitting with the constant muscle pain. I have been stretching my shoulders, back and arms all day and it does little to help. It’s like a muscle spasm that won’t go away, it burns, its painful and It’s super aggravating, I try really hard not to be a whiner and more than anything, not to allow this stupid jacked up “syndrome” have one more moment of my life.

I’m so tired and sore by the end of every day and it is a constant interruption of the things I need to get done and frankly, it pisses me off the. I don’t have time to not feel well! Probably wouldn’t bother me too much if I was the type to be able to sit still. But, I’m not and this is making me crazy.

 

When I feel like this, I really just want to lay in bed all day, but won’t allow it for myself to do that as an option. I so afraid to cross that line, the line in my own mind that would allow me to go to back bed or allow myself to be unproductive for a day. I feel scared that I might like it too much. I’m afraid that if I break my own routine and give in to my pain, my constant discomfort, I will end up stuck there. To allow myself to have a “new normal” that includes ALOT of resting or too much downtime is frightening, it isn’t remotely close to what I see for myself at the young age of 45. I really wish I had a better understanding of how to find and KNOW what the right balance is between being productive and getting stuff done or that of listening to my body and the rest I know I need because I ache everywhere.

 

I recently started seeing a massage therapist to see if it will help. They have admitted to me that I am the worst patient they have. I know it sounds horrible, but it was a relief to hear, it offers additional validity to my aches and pains. At least I know I’m not crazy. I’m continuing to see the Massage Therapist (MT) weekly to see if it improves my situation. I have my fingers crossed.

 

I feel the MT is making a difference, but not quickly enough for me. If you suffer with Fibromyalgia, first of all, I really do feel for you. I really do! It’s simply exhausting to be in pain all the time and know that you still need to get your stuff done. It’s difficult to know how you will feel by the end of the day…like crap! It’s also difficult because the people who are closest don’t necessarily understand. There is no blood, no stitches, no vomiting or fever, even doctors have a hard time defining it. There isn’t one symptom that can be “seen”, so how can it be real? I deal with this all the time, but have found a little relief with Flexiril. If you have Fibromyalgia, and haven’t tried Flexiril yet, you may want to. I had taken the other medications like Elivil and it didn’t work like this does. They are in the same family as I understand it (I am no specialist though) and it really is helping with my muscles loosening up a bit. It the ONLY relief I have found in the 11 years I have been suffering.

 

I would love to hear from you if you have any tricks up your sleeve on how to feel better. I will not be anyone’s lab rat and take the new medication on the market. That just scares me too much. I will stick with medicines that have been around for awhile and tested.

 

Well, I guess I got that off my chest and should get some sleep now. Right, sleep…what’s that? With Fibromyalgia, sleep is always disturbed by pain. I’m on my way to getting the best possible sleep I can. Wish me luck! Thanks for listening to me vent.
