Fatigue......

Have felt a high level of fatigue for the past couple of days......with this exercise. ,and that.....ball exercises.....weight....hand and upper body ones......so exausted trying to put everything into everyday home routine......and I'm not even back at work yet.....



Fatigue does not rest for business.....or recovery........

Nevermind.....I worked through a huge challenge the other night and feel rewarded for my hard work!
I could feel Fibro trying to sneak once again back into my room to again weigh upon my chest.

I quickly took some pain meds and with a positive approach thought.... No way are you going to over come me tonight! I put in my ear plugs and began my new relaxation journey into the forest....this was a Relaxation CD the hospital had provided me with.

I couldn't believe it I somehow lost him a few times within the forest and drifted off to sleep.....yah......
I might add that when Fibro visits and lands within my chest and ribs  .....usually ends in a dramatic Visit to hospital for further pain relief.....so I'm really exited.....

I feel this is a huge achievement.....
Barometric pressure is very low today and I'm feeling pretty good...its actually really nice to be able to say these words.They usually don't roll off my tongue too often.

 I  have been thinking......and without Fibro fog.......
About the gratitude I feel for amazing family and friends that have visited,called and sent warm wishes during this recovery time.There is a certain someone out there, she probably won't read this......I don't think she knows how to get on to the blog yet......has been a pillar of strength,  wisdom,  warmth.....
Her generous  true nature has assisted in making this treatment so much smoother....comfortable....and workable for all of us.....to know that we had her open generosity to recoup for a couple of days in between treatments.....and be loved......has really supported the process so much!
We love you. JJ.........
Hope you enjoyed a catch up on childhood stories with that crazy hubby of mine......I know the time has been meaningful to us all ....hugs and kisses to you always......

It is true times like this truly do show how much people do care about you.....I don't think I knew how many people cared about me....it's an interesting thing when you have a chronic illness.....you can't be very active or social and when you finally stop going out and being social.....eventually.....along the way you loose some friends....or who you thought were your friends......so it's actually a sad long journey..... It's difficult for some to understand an invisible condition.........but it has now  re ignited and strengthened my hope in the human race.......with the recent warmth I have received from people.

I stepped outdoors before to tackle my baseline walk of 7 minute....sounds funny I know.....but it's so far going well other than fatigue so hopefully I will increase to 8 minutes next week.Sun has finally come out after heavy rain and icy winds for days.....the warmth of the sun radiating on me was beautiful.. Although it's probably around 12 degree out there it seemed bright and refreshing ...looking forward to more of this in future.....


Things have progressed well through the day.....and all exercises are completed...feeling good about that.....just really fatigued today.

F is  for Fatigue.......
