this is a problem I have alot maybe its the denial aspect I dont know,but when I have a good day,like yesterday(fair, berable)it makes the upcomming bad day worse in the back of my head I think, YES!Im cured I will feel this good tomorrow then the bad hits again and its like starting all over a BIG let down,does that make since,

Dont get me wrong I dont mind the good days but it makes the bad so much worse,maybe if it was marked on the calender it would be beter today is good it will last one and a half days tehn the rest of the month will suck I think I could handle that more then getting my hopes up..Sad

we all have alot to give if one gets the help then some of this suffering is worth it..

remeber I am not a doctor I just say what I think

I feel the same broken. I always feel foolish when the bad days arrive again so quickly, i suppose its called 'getting your hopes up' lol One day i will realise that a good day is just that, a day! I do like the calendar idea though...
"When things go wrong and they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but dont you quit.

Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you can never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
Its when things go wrong when you mustn't quit"

It's weird you posted this today. I had a good day a few days ago and felt somewhat scared. It's like I have a difficult time mentally on good days because I wonder whether or not it's actually a remission or if I'm going to be disapointed yet again. I need to say the serenity prayer on good days. Smile

May God heal your body and soul.
May your pain cease,
May your strength increase,
May your fears be released,
May blessings, love, and joy surround you.

We just have to take the bad days with the good days and cherish the good ones. Blessings to all, Korani

I think it is more a mental thing because we hope and pray for relief then when we get it and its taken away I always feel Im at sqaure one and the cycle continues and the longer this goes on the worse it is the next time,I would almost say I would rather not have good days if it ment my heart to get broke the next

When I'm having a really good day, I treasure it and don't even think about the next day. Sometimes I can stretch the good day over into the next day by just telling myself that tomorrow will be just as good as today. I also try not to think too much about the fibro which I think helps me quite a bit. When I have a bad day I try to ignore it but if I can't, I just get comfortable and watch TV or sleep.

Good days often play tricks on us. After several years of dealing with Fibro- I've learned that even though there are good days, there are many more bad days.

My problem is... when I am having a half-way decent day. I often tend to over-do! Then, later, I kick myself in the butt- because I knew better. I really DO know my limits. Following those though, is sometimes difficult.

Hang in there! You will learn more about your body, and the ups and downs that go along with it. It just takes time.

This happens to me as well. I may have a period of several days where I actually feel good and begin believing I am cured. I have actually considered twice, giving up my SSD and going back to work. Luckily my DH keeps me in line. There is no cure and the bad days are just around the corner waiting. They always arrive again.

I don't find this happening to me but I see it happening with my husband. It's like when he sees having a good day it reminds him of all we've been missing. It seems like my good days are the days he gets the most down because he knows it's not going to last and realizes what we've been missing.
