It's like waiting for the other shoe to drop. There are times when I feel like I could go back to work, after I've had a stretch of pretty decent days. Then invariably the Fibro Express runs over me. :::: sigh :::: I keep an activity log and a pain log. The pain log is just a monthly calendar with days crossed off where I have bad flares. I also note what the weather was like. But yes, I understand exactly what you mean. Going through some days when you feel like the sky's the limit, then landing on your can.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I felt good for nearly a year, after I quit smoking. I thought I was healed! But my body was just happy to be getting all that extra oxygen back into it, it felt so good! I live in TX and we visited CO in September. My body flared bad. Mostly from the long two day drive, and the hotel beds, then sister's bed, then lots of nephew lifting and holding, plus it was hot and humid here (I felt good here) but cool and dry there (that gives me flare type pain, not sure why!).

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Yes! It's that false hope, then you end up disappointed. I hate that. > There are times > when I feel like I could go back to work, after I've had a stretch > of pretty decent days.
