I knew I was going into flair, even told my doctor and got my referral to physical therapy in a swimming pool. First I start off to where if I rest I can make it ok as long as I go slow and easy, sit when I can't stand, lay when I can't sit so on. Today it is a flair hurts all over, hard to walk, and to top it off the paralyzed toy Maltese, Baby, peed herself and I had to give her a bath.
Last night, I barely was able to get out of the tub because of how bad I am flaring. Ty for the vent

I am afraid I know all too well about flares so I can sympathize with you. After 40 years I still haven't completely learned how to deal with them. I get frustrated that on those days I am good for nothing and have to sit in my recliner most of the day. I know not to move around and get a little exercise isn't good for me but its sure hard to when you hurt all over. I found water exercise a lot of help but unless I went every day I was right back where I was. Good thing we can comiserate here. I find the fatigue harder to handle. Good luck to you and take care!

I was cranky yesterday. I ache all over and I sure could tell it was fibro pain. I layed low yesterday. The advantage of staying home. This is why I stay in fairly good health now. Before I would have to work in severe pain and it was a never ending flare

Yesterday was off and on for me. I used to carry a purse that didn't have a shoulder strap and switched before I was DX in March cause my arms hurt when I carried it and I didn't know why. (It was a very light purse). Shoulder strap only help because it takes less effort, but no less pain. Told hubby to be thinking bout fanny pack lololol...

But back to flairs woke up with my clothes hurting me feeling like pins n needles. Grrrrr was planning on shopping today!

I can't stand the weight of the bedsheet on my toes many nights. I've resorted to leaving my toes uncovered at night and going barefooted around the house.
I use a very lightweight cotton t-shirt fabric bedsheet by the way.

Wow I can identify with this thread. I have a sinus infection at least that's what it feels like, I could not handle the dog hair anymore so I had a cleaning day with my grandsons we swept, vacuumed, washed floors and they were so much help.

My poms all need a bath but I just can not bend over the tub but since the boys are being so so helpful and it's pretty darn warm here I think I might be able to convince them to have some tub time with the dogs. Great idea smurfy my little ones are getting pretty old so I have to be careful with them as well.

My body hurts all over now and it's almost time to make dinner for hubby and the boys. Omg I don't think I can do it tonight, hmmm I wonder sounds like a BBQ burger night. I hope the grand children's mom comes tomorrow to give me a break. I will sleep and sleep some more.

My question is why if I am the only one who can not bend over to pick things up, am the only one who notices all the crap on the floor that needs to be picked up.

Rose,
Same here I have to tell the kids to pick things up!

I see the mess but don't bend over to pick it up. I have grabbers for that.
