Fibro Favorites


When I am really bored, I surf the Internet for new pictures relating to Fibromyalgia. I have found some pretty interesting ones and some are quite amusing. I am not really sure where I found these two but fighting fibro is indeed at times like fighting an octopus!! I have no idea what the words say...hopefully nothing offensive..sorry if it is.. I am innocent!! The other photo with way too many people trying to ride a motorcycle is hilarious as well, and is also a good analogy of what our lives feel like at times while dealing with so many different symptoms all at once.

This one is how I feel on days when the pain is high....just leave me alone ...don't even talk to me....you know what I mean! I usually have to pray my way through and make it some how every time ....well I was up early once again...aches and pains as usual but hopefully the day won't get to "Tigeress" level today!

Fibro Fever?

Fibromyalgia is plain old tiring! Then you add in a FEVER.....yikes...exhaustion, pain...need  SLEEP....!!

Yesterday was one of those kind of days for me. I pretty much stayed right where I started. Hopefully today will be a better day because I really do need to get out and get some things done! I know a lot of you with Fibro have other overlapping conditions as well and that is what my doctors are finding out with me. It only complicates things a whole lot!!! You never know what is causing the problems or exactly what to do about it. So one day at a time we go....I see now that it is NOT snowing here today..."Thank You Lord!" and the sun is actually shining! So hoping for a better day than yesterday and to each of my friends as well!

Fibro Flurries!

I awoke this morning to aches and pains and figured the weather must be doing something crazy! Even before the sun came up and I could get a good look out my window to check it out, my body knew the horrible truth....it is snowing on this twenty-eighth day of April here in Wisconsin! I think my body needs to live in a warmer climate...maybe someplace where it is a constant 70 degrees and sunny? Anybody know of such a place? One of my friends posted this picture of this poor little confused bear. He thought it was time to come out of his hiding place but wasn't expecting so much snow! I remind myself this morning that God is in control of the weather and I shouldn't complain...I asked Him this morning if He was maybe playing a joke on us? I think today will be an inside kind of a day. I don't feel like moving from the couch at all. Everything aches. I know I am not alone...I know you are out there reading this and feeling the same way too! I will try to be productive in my pain! That is my latest goal to myself! Fibro Flurries bring out the productivity! Usually when I do have to just sit and rest, my mind is going a mile a minute, and I find myself being very creative. Maybe another chapter of my book will get written today. Who knows? I hope you all have a great day and prayers go out to all who are involved with even worse weather...the tornadoes of the south!
