Utter Pain

My FM causes me to do stupid things like walking in to walls and furniture well today I decided to go out and get gas and buy a few pansies to plant. Once I put the pump in the tank I saw the hose but I proceeded to fall over it land on my whole right side of my body, a nice gentleman came over to see if I was alright and then I was off to the garden store feeling even more sore. I got someone to help me with what I needed and they put it in my car for me. So later I tried to go out and plant the flowers with my pain, stiffness and soreness I did not last 15 minutes I had to go in and lay down.

I feel so helpless sometimes I remember when I was better condition and being able to garden for hours and now I can't last a few minutes. I hate the feeling of the life being sucked out of me and being in constant pain.

I just needed a little venting today, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

I agree with all of you. I try hard to live for the day, doing my best, and look ahead with a positive attitude. Then, at the end of each day, I can say, "Well, at least I got (whatever) accomplished." It beats lying on the couch, doing nothing, right?

And Barbara--bravo! At least you made a good attempt!

Lololol Donna ! I did the something! Hahahaha Its been a long day!

I stopped driving. I'm too scared too. was in an accident ...very minor..but know i am not myself an its not save and yes i too trip over invisible thngs .....and run into walls I know are there, just seem to have "stearing" issues. some days i'm fine, only have issues on days with flair ups. I miss "me", just like you when i felt like supe woman and could go for hours walk my dogs for 2 or 3 mines ,but ,oh well could be worses and will take the blessings where i can. at least i am better than i was in June!

Yes, today will be bad. Had a hard time waking up at 7:30, went through my morning routine, and was so very tempted to sit down on the bed. Of course, if I do that, I will go back to sleep. I ended up taking another tramadol before I went to work, and promised myself if I still felt awful after my last class, I would go home. Once I start, I generally am okay, and get absorbed by whatever I am doing. But right now, well....

But right now!! My arms and legs hurt and feel heavy, my shoulders and neck are achy, and I have no energy. My colitis is acting up, and my trick toe is throbbing up my foot. I broke the same toe three times over the years, and it is just getting worse. We are supposed to be near 90 here in the mid-atlantic.
