Day 2157 - Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia and me




The damn fibro fatigue hits me when I least need it nor expect it.

You know it's happening when you wake up tireder than when you went to bed.

It feels like there is a person on your back, gripping your shoulders, squeezing your limbs, weighing you down.

They're heavy.  My back hurts, my shoulders ache, my knees hurt, my limbs feel constricted, my brain is mush and I'm just plain buggered.



My little serotonin soldiers are doing their best to stand to attention with their feel good energies.  They're a little rickety though.

The only way to deal with it is to actually push through.  When it comes to fibromyalgia if you give into it too much it can take a grip.  You may never get back up. That fibro fatigue monster can be quite overpowering.

They say it's a bit like depression.

So I continue living with my getting-shit-done philosophy of "work first, rest next".

Up and at 'em!

Tick off those to-dos, be the master of my mind, body and soul. There's plenty of time to put my feet up and take stock of the situation later.

There's no other choice ...

I think it might be time to crank up the music and dance. 

Peanut Butter Jelly gets me dancing every time. What's your get-up-and-dance track of the moment?
