It was one of THOSE days

Today was one of THOSE days. Spring has finally sprung in NW CT. The air was dry with temps in the 70's and the sun was glorius. It was one of those top 10 days of the year; the kind of day I wait in anticipation for all winter long. I have been trying to be kind to myself the past couple of weeks. It should have been incredible.

Fibro Fact

Been sort of out of commission for a bit. I have a business and running that has been a struggle so I have not been keeping up here. I figure if anyone can understand that it is someone reading a Fibro blog.  :)

A llittle info for you or those who have a loved one with Fibro:

My Fibro Symptoms

How fibro has reared it's ugly head...

Every case of fibromyalgia is different. One person may experience a whole array of symptoms that another does not. So far there have been over 200 of them linked to this illness and I have a feeling there will be more in time.

I actually feel like I am what is termed a "hypochondriac" by many people because I have so many symptoms that seem totally unrelated. The other issue is that they can come and go-one day I may have debilitating pain and the next it can be quite a bit less. Itching is another that seems to come and go and I cannot relate it to any other cause-I will have problems with deep itching that lasts for hours, it will subside then come back again for days or weeks then disappear for several months, only to start again.

Fibromyalgia

An Intro-so to speak 

Can you imagine going through your day with your back on fire while you still keep going and doing and taking care of all the regular things that you have to do in a normal day? I don't mean a slight burning sensation either. I mean you actually are ON FIRE. Instead of running or dousing yourself or stop, drop and rolling,  you just keep plugging along while that fire just keeps burning on and on and on.
