Happy at Hydro......

So this week has brought some smiles and relaxation,both for myself and family members.

It was so nice to attend my Hydro sessions without having the dreaded flare up afterwards.Ive been anxious each day awaiting the flare and expectation of my feared visitor "fibro".

Was shocked and amazed that it didn't occur,although still pacing and breaking between each set of exercises.So yes I'm feeling very happy!

I can see a feel a change within our house hold.....I guess things arnt so sad,and unpredictable as they were some four weeks ago.As I was  carrying around the heaviness.....that im feeling like I am just a burden.When you are unable to do the daily tasks and activities that you have once done.....it feels very difficult.To watch others or request constant support fills you with  a heaviness of inadequacies.

I can now say I'm feeling so much brighter and now slowly doing different tasks, and it's filling me with hope of a better and brighter future to come for our whole family unit.

It's now. Design hrs later, evening.....I've had a wonderful night watching Olympics with my hubby and teenagers.....lots of Aussie,Aussie,Aussie.......and flag waving.....enjoyed playing with my gorgeous grandaughter.....All.....somewhat perfect......

Until.....sudden sharp pain in might jaw,oh no.....Here it comes.....it's a sign my unwanted visitor is going to pay me a visit,medicated myself immediently and now in bed.......hopeful my fibro visitor will disappear as soon as he arrived.........

For those that are not too familiar with Hydrotherapy therapy........ 

What is Hydrotherapy?,
Hydrotherapy is an alternative therapy that uses water to help cure illness and maintain good health. Hydrotherapy makes use of water in a variety of different forms, including steam, and ice, in order to relieve muscle pain, 

increase circulation, and improve health. Also known as balneotherapy, hydrotherapy is practiced by licensed hydrotherapists, physical therapists, and naturopaths.

How does Hydrotherapy Work?
There are various different theories regarding how hydrotherapy actually works. Most of these theories focus on two properties inherent in water: temperature and buoyancy.
Water is an excellent substance with which to carry temperature through. It can retain cold and heat in a form that can easily be applied to the body. These temperatures then affect the ways in which the body works. In particular, temperature helps to aid in the dilation and constriction of blood vessels. This change in the blood vessels allows for improved circulation, better waste removal, and faster healing.
Water also appears to be an effective pain reliever because of the buoyancy it offers. Water helps to support all areas of the body, contributing to reduce muscle and joint strain while invigorating muscles. The natural movement of water also helps to stimulate touch receptors in your skin. This causes your body to produce electronic impulses, which trigger the release of various chemicals and hormones. These hormones help your body to heal and feel 

Am really not feeling too good, will close for now and listen go a Relaxation CD.....Here's hoping it will scare my fibro visitor out of my personal space....... Chest is beginning to feel heavy........and jaw pain becoming stronger........

Warm thoughts to all who feel similar.....

F is for fibromyalgia..........
