I drop things every day all day, and sometimes it makes me want to scream! I dropped an egg on the floor. While I was trying to pick it up I was smearing it all over instead of actually getting it up. I can't believe how long it took me to clean up that egg!!

Just needed to vent. Thanks for listening.

I hate that!!!! My gentleman friend, even after a decade, still looks at me askance when something like that happens.

My suggestion, for what it's worth-Let the dog clean it up.

HEY! That's me lately. I have been dropping everything!!! I tell my dog to stay out of my way when I am cooking, I actually dropped a knife that almost hit her in the head!!!! Watch out and stay out of my way. But also been dropping my cell phone, my travel mug, and many other things.
Thought it was just me. Nice to know I am not alone.

Hi redial804,

I get the dropsies too. It comes in phases. I can go a month or so without dropping anything - out of nowhere it starts up again. Then even a cup of coffee is not sacred! I stay away from the good china until it stops.

HeHe.......Not only do I get the dropsies I get the tripsies. Tripping over nothing or something that I should have seen. Dropping stuff happens regularly and I just hope I don't break my new blackberry.

Oh boy I had a morning like that today! I kept knocking over and dropping all of my makeup while trying to get ready and kept getting so frustrated. When my cat is around, I just let her bat it all across the floor and have playtime. hehehe.

Nice to know I am not alone! I am sure my husband thinks I am a big klutz! Dropping things and tripping on nothing. And like FreeSpirit it comes on periodically. I have the cheapest cell phone out there because I have sent that thing sailing across the parking lot so many times. But it takes a beating and keeps on working! I guess that's kind like us with Fibro. Our bodies and minds take a beating, but they manage to keep on going.

Hope everyone has a drop-free, trip-free day!

Blessings!

I have been getting the dropsies as far back as I can remember and when I get them I know a migraine is coming on. My Mom was the same way. Do you get migraines? Have you perhaps noticed that with you as well?

Seems we all belong to the same club..I drop things all the time.  My cellphones have gone on many trips too.  I drop my keys all the time, remotes, hairbrushes, heavy things that thank God have not landed on my toes yet.

I am very thankful that I do not suffer from migraines! I feel for those that do as I have a daughter who gets them and I see what they do to her!

Migraines are the pitts!!  And the meds on the third day I usually end up rather "loopy".  Not one person around me will just leave me alone for the head to stop pounding and the meds to wear off, by the 4th day I don't need meds therefore no loopieness.  Can't win sometimes. :-)

I am not allowed to do the washing up because of all the plates I have broken. Don't you just love it.
