I have been away for a few months I never seem to get the time to log on and see how everyone is.
We myDH and I are now 2nd in charge of running our local food bank.
I aways hummed and harded when people would say exercise was the way with FMS.
I take that all back now.
Each day we spend up to six hours running around doing things some days starting at 5.30am and going till 12 before we stop to have lunch.
Yes I get very tired [I am sleeping about 9 hours a night]
But I look back at what I was like when we started 18 months ago and I can not believe I am the same person. I think nothing of walking all day now when we go SHOPPING, once just thinking about it and I was in tears.
I pick up and carry things that are a lot heavier then I used too.
No falls in months and I am off all meds, my GP could not believe the change in me.
Do I still need to lose weight yes but that will come off slowly.
I feel a lot happier, but as a friend said the other day I am helping a lot of people worse off then I was.
It has brought my DH and I closer as we spend so much time together now and we both enjoy what we are doing.
Flares yes they happen and I feel like just laying in bed and shutting the world out. But I can't so I need to get up and move around and I find for me I forget about the worst of the pain.
As I have explained to some people who don't understand I am in pin all the time but I just have to be able to find ways of coping with it.
For the first time in 15 years we are going to the beach on holidays at the end of the month the whole family is going and I can't wait.
My next aim to to go back to going out to go dancing [old time]
That will be later this year.
