Hi everyone, just wanted to let you know that my husband and I drove the whole 10 hour drive to get to Idaho to our fishing cabin and I did really well. I only took two pain pills, used two favorite pillows, and every stop we made I got out and walked for about 10 minutes! Now...on the way back, we got a late start. We drove the whole 10 hours,didn't get home until midnight, didn't use both pillows, still only took two pain pills. Didn't get out and walk and needless to say I wound up in bed the next day all day. I got up a totel of 3 times. Will I ever learn? But on the way over I did write this, Hope you can relate:

Fibromyalgia

Apparition of an illness,

Microscopic, Invisible,

Dressed in deceptive covering,

Uncomprehensive to ones own flesh and blood.

Bearing with it,

An echo of sounds,

A low cry,murmer,sob,thunder,

Then back to a low cry.

Its mission as a messenger,

Is to systematize the mind and body,

Causing universal suffering,

With deprivation of a deep slumber.

Extended in space,

With intentions of debilitation,

Thereupon one collapsing,

Into its ghostly arms.

Then swiftly,

It asends heavenward,

From your fallible frame,

And liberates itself into the breeze.

You hear silence, feel stillness,

You simply have a reprive,

Replenishing you with heart,

To carry on...

Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

Hey, what a beautiful poem. Glad you made the trip safe and sound. But, Goofy, part of taking your favorite pillows was to use them I know you're glad to be home. Isn't it a shame that for us fibros the best of the trip is gettiing home? What a shame. Lots of soft, soft hugs for several days. Kathy
