Missys post, FLYlady fan here!

[Guest guest]

Missy, I used to be able to push through about anything, one weekend in

Chicago in 1998 left me in bed for 2 months--I really thought that I was

going to die. So, I have to be very, very careful now. I think that if

there was a reason that I got this fibro it was because I was 'too busy',

when I first got this, I was going to college full time, working towards an

aerobics instructor certification...taking care of my sister who had ovarian

cancer, my mother was dying, my mother in law went off the deep end and

tried to burn her house down (with my fatherinlaw in it -- he was in a W/C

with MS) --she went to jail and eventually a mental hospital....and I had a

2 year old and a husband that worked full time. I also was a brownie troop

helper, and a whole bunch of other stuff that I can't even remember anymore!

I feel like I have no more tears to cry on this syndrome, I sure did cry

before it had a name.

I am a BIG fan of the slobsisters (and FLYlady)--I couldn't function without

THE BOX for housecleaning. It really does help organize and prioritize the

whole business of housecleaning, I started using the box in about 1990. It

really helps with this fibro fog and those times when 'you don't know where

to start' or can't get started at all...on housecleaning, it certainly

reduces my stress level.
