Guest guest Posted October 19, 2001 Report Share Posted October 19, 2001 Gosh, Heidi, that was the first chuckle I've had today and I really needed it. Thanks. Dawn: So much for my med school theory. Generally it works. I hope you are able to get the care you feel good about soon. New Sue: Try to keep your stress level down. It makes the RP go up! I went to an arthritis support meeting yesterday and the speaker's topic was fibromyalgia, which I don't have, but I found it very interesting and learned a lot in general. She gave us a really great relaxation tip that you can do anywhere anytime to bring the stress level down. Just sit quietly and rock back and forth gently for a couple of minutes. You don't need a rocking chair---just do it wherever. It is really comforting. She also told us that research has determined that the best recuperative sleeping hours are between 1 and 3 am. That is when you need to be in deep sleep and is when your body produces the chemicals it uses to bring your body back into good repair. She suggest keeping a sleep log and record how you feel with the sleep you got so you can determine how much you really need and where your sleep problems are if you are having problems. Good ideas!
