I have been known to throw a large bath towel which color coordinates with my kitchen over my kitchen sink full of dirty dishes

(just the left side of my double sink; the other side has the disposal and I use that side to rinse) until I feel well enough to get to them. I have even stuffed greasy pots and cookie sheets in the oven to get them out of site until I feel up to washing them.

It helps my spirits not to have to stare at dirty dishes and greasy pots and pans. During my longer flares it might take me a week to get to those dirty pots in the oven! Then I have to pay my older son a little extra allowance to get him to pitch in and wash them, but it is worth it. Hang in there! Pace yourself and try not to worry about the housework, it will get done in time, but if you overdo and try to get it done all at once on a good day you may trigger a flare that will last for days or weeks.

Sorry I didn't say welcome earlier. I haven't been around.

Welcome to the best support group you will ever find!

When you are having a bad day, one of us who is having an okay day, will be here to lift you up. If one of us is having a bad day, it might be you that makes all the difference.

We laugh here and we cry here. Sometimes member don’t sign on for weeks but when they come back, it is as if they never left.

I hope you find what you need here. We all are living our lives with FM so never be afraid to ask ANY question you may have.

HUGS!

We made up FM car magnet ribbons as a group. They are really nice. I have some extra at cost. They are $1.50 if you want one, just PM me. Thanks!
