RE: Fibro and moving south/Debra and not pushing myself

May 5, 2008

Thanks, Debra.

Rest is something I have to get used to doing because I like to push myself.

Get more done, try to get done what I really shouldn’t or sometimes cannot.

Obviously this isn’t very wise anymore. I was a good athlete once and a

hell of a worker, but times have changed and I have not been at my best over

the last couple of years; and now this. This is very hard to accept, but

denial is too dangerous and I have to move on and do what I have to do

right? What choice do I have?

Hugs,

Re: Fibro and moving south

Joe, let me say this. I do know that the horrible humidity of East Tx makes

it difficult for most fibro sufferers. However, I do know also that extreme

cold as you experience up north is a real bad thing for us too. It gets

really really hot here in the summer. (I am close to Houston). I hate it

but I will say that my pain is worse in the winter for the most part.

Hope FL will be great for you. As for stopping the progression, I don't

know. I guess that depends. (medical experts and researchers will tell you

it does NOT progress). They are full of crap. It does. It does not

progress to the same severity with us all and not at the same rate. It

might NEVER make me bedbound whereas it does make others bedbound. I may

never need a wheelchair, whereas others do. However, it has progressed in

my case the last 5 years and aged me at least 10-15 years in the last 5.

Now keeping in my mind that a low stress lifestyle will be of tremendous

help. Plenty of rest plus medications that are right for you will make a

difference.
