Hi all,

I had a great weekend, was pretty pain free, then today at work, it hit me again. I drove home this afternoon almost crying because I hurt so badly. Mostly it was my legs and hips, but my stomach/abdomen was absolutely killing me. I really don't know if it's my actual STOMACH (like acid/ulcer) or if it's the fibro. Kind of feels like both. It's also been a bad IBS day, too.

Will it never end? I get so discouraged when all I feel like doing is coming home and just laying all night.

hi L,
will it ever end? no. will it get easier? yes. you will adapt. we all do. there will be days tho when you cry. there will also be days to laugh.
fibro is a roller coaster ride. at the top, like your weekend, it's fantastic. then the long fall to the bottom only to be swept up again for the next climb to the top.
there is nothing wrong with falling on your sofa after a long hard day at work. i did that before fibro. cut yourself some slack. gift your body with a bit of empathy and love. after all it did get you thru your work day. your body is your blessing. without it you would not be here.
each day i thank my body for still being here carrying me along. pain or no pain i am me and i am still happy to be hurting. means i am here.
peace,
