Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I understand what you are saying. It seems that if I did stay in bed all day I would feel worse. No matter how tempting it is to want to stay in bed or on the couch without ever getting up, I know that once I get up and move around some I usually feel a little less stiff anyway. Of course, that moving around can be overdone easily as I do it with work. I am not able to work anymore. I know this and I just have to keep going out of necessity. Fibro is so damn unpredictable. And yes, it is no wonder we all refer to it as the beast, the monster, or the demon. It sits and waits to jump on its prey at any given minute in different places with different symptoms. Craziest damn disease anyone could have. love and hugs, Debra V. sanangelogirl wrote: It IS a monster that we do not know when it will strike. At the same time, we HAVE to Live with it. It's not easy. It can be done. All we can do is what we can do to help ourselves feel better. Sometimes that means resting, resting, resting but we can't get stuck there. We've got to keep moving. It's weird but exercise does help. You have to spend energy to get energy. Meds help but they eventually wear off. We have to constantly ask ourselves, What can I do to help me feel better? I have to do that second by second sometimes. I stay busy with fibro. I sit one little girl, I'm in school for becoming a certified life coach, I raise my kids, and I run an at home business. It helps keep my mind focused on other things. It really helps me. Of course, sometimes I do have to take a break from it all. --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.
