I try to do as much house work every day as I, do the washing and I am working on my books. My hardest problem is getting dinner ready. I love to cook but now it is all I can do to get dinner on the table. As for trying new recipes, forget it. My husband helps with dinner and sometimes fixes it. He does clean up the kitchen for me. I also travel and cook chili in chili cookofs. I write a column for the Terlingua Trails. So there are still many things that I do and try to work through the pain. I am sorry to say that I disagree with you theory that you are not going to let it get you down. This is something that you have no control over. The fibro does. There will come a time when you find that you cannot stop it from getting you down. It will happen if you keep going and going, the pain will surely arrive in a bad way.
