Fibro Challenges Online Support Group

My boyfriend's daughter told us at the last minute this weekend that she had a choir concert yesterday night. And I have a birthday dinner tonight to go to. I tried getting out of last nights concert but George wanted me to go. Hopefully his daughter appreciated that I was there.

I'm hoping that the rest of the week won't be too difficult to get through! Work, getting to work, and sleeping is about all I can manage most weeks!

Ahhhhhgh!! I know what you mean about too much at once. It's hard sometimes to pace ourselves like we need to, to prevent flares. Today I had to drive the hubs to the city for a lab and now need to go help a garden club newbie set up for tomorrow's meeting. She needs to be shown the ropes since it's her first time hosting. And then, book club tonight! They had to go and change it to the 3rd Tues. sheesh!

It isn't usually this much in 2 days, but it just turned out that way this month.

We will have some good days once we get through tonight Annelle.

Belive me....i know the feeling. Between work, kids, church,and home I feel like pulling my hair out but most of the time its ok but when i'm in a flare it takes everything i have to get thru the day.

Today i have been really tired. I have been doing alot more because i've been feeling better but i think my body is telling me i need to slow down a little. Well...sometimes we just have to take it a little at a time.

A friend told me once that yard by yard is hard but inch by inch is a cinch. I try to stick with that philophy.

O my dear sisters sounds like you all have heavy loads. Please good care of yourseI would see any of you have a flare.

Much love hugs and prayers. River

so understand how overwhelming too many activities going on can be. sometimes just thinking about doing it all can be tiring and i'm being serious! and it can be a sure fire way to trigger a flare.

annelle ~ good for you for being there for your bf's daughter. i'm sure that she did appreciate it!

karen, karen, karen ~ like, shouldn't you be modeling pacing behavior like a good group leader?! sheesh, first day on the job and there you go showing inappropriate fibro behavior. i should search for the post where someone, hmmmmmmmm, let me think, oh yeah, you, gave me a little spiel on pacing!!!!!!!! love you friend!

robin ~ i absolutely love that! have to memorize it. yard by yard is hard, inch by inch is a cinch. now i have to think of something that rhymes with millimeter!!!

hi sweet pear!

hugs and love to all...........

Well, I got through the crazy part. Today I'm tired, but nothing going on tonight! And despite the effort it took, it was great to have Cuban food with good friends last night.

This morning on the way to work I ran into a traffic jam (worse than most days). So I used the time to give my neck and shoulders a much needed rub down. Got to work and had about a 1/2 hour of blissful no tension no pain feeling. Light as air. Then it went away. Moments like that remind me of what living without Fibro was like!

Have a wonderful day ladies!

Annelle

glad you made it through the crazy part ~ good for you!

have you tried any kind of therapy for you neck and shoulders? there's all kinds of relaxation methods that might be worth a try.

we just have to keep trying and trying and trying!

hugs and love.........
