It's been a while

I haven't posted in a while because I have been busy, wich is a good thing. I have been working steadily and working out 3 days of the week either running or swimming and have been feeling pretty good overall for quite a while now. I have had flare ups but they have been mild luckily. Untill this morning, I woke up and felt like I had been used as a punching bag. I haven't had a flare up this bad in along time and I have been doing everything I can to take care of myself by exercising regularly, eating very healthy and trying to stay as stress free as I can.  I feel discouraged and almost like I'm being punished. I also have no clue as to what might have triggered this flare. I just feel really down and need support. Thanks for letting me vent!

Hi, Lisa.

No fair, huh?! I'm sorry this is happening to you, especially when you're doing everything right. Life just doesn't make any sense sometimes.

At least you can rest secure in the knowledge that you are doing your best, and you'd no doubt be feeling worse if you weren't. And this flare will be shorter and milder because of it....

I hope it goes away as fast as it came!

Lisa sorry your going through a flare. I am so happy that you have learned some healthy tools for fibro. I remember your first few post and you should be proud of yourself. Sometimes we never know why the pain can be so intense. We just have to take the day as it comes and pray the pain away! Maybe you need to slow down some. This is what I started to do this week for myself. I know we just want to be normal. I pray you will feel better tomorrow.

Hope you are feeling better today Lisa!  I think sometimes the trying to figure how why can be one of the hardest things.
