Sometimes really good days--no symptoms!

Do you guys have days where you feel back to normal. Where there are no aches and pains and all the other symptoms?? When I have these kinds of days I think that I will be well from now on. But then IT comes back--not sure yet what this is but it does not want to stay away.

Just wondered if you have these good days??

i have a few good days a month, where I feel like I haven't got anything - minimal pain, minimal fatigue, almost like back to normal. It doesnt last, for me fatigue is the worse sometimes...like today, it was so bad, i got home from work, couldnt even stand to cook my little ones dinner, had to direct my 5 year old to make sandwiches for him and 3 year old
Then I went and laid down....nerve pains, my chest was hurting, couldnt swallow well, heart was pumping, fatigue in what feels like every bone in my body, broken feeling..my poor little ones had to get in bed with me until my mum could come round and rescue me as hubbie at work late tonight...thank goodness for mum :o)

Yup, I do.

I have been treating my fibro since July. It's been VERY hard because the supplements tend to cause havoc in the system while it's fixing the immune system. That said, I have noticed that each month I am having more and more good days. It started off as one a month and now I am at four a month and I couldn't be happier. Sure, it sucks when it rebounds, but I also think that its a notifier that whatever you did in the last couple of days is a trigger and you should write it down so you can avoid it.

My average is 3 days before the flare impact hits from something I did. My biggest triggers right now are stress, food, and lack of sleep. Overworking no longer flares me unless there is an element of stress to it (ie, if I was setting up for an event and under a severe time crunch, packing up my house and running out of time, etc).

So keep in mind how WONDERFUL those good days are and let them fuel the hard work it takes to get one again. :)

No, I can't say I ever feel back to normal. Physically speaking, comfortably numb is as good as it gets, and it only lasts for a matter of moments.

Some things that help me are: 1) keeping my mood up, remembering all the good in my life. Sometimes I can do that pretty easily, and sometimes, it's a real challenge. 2) pacing myself physically, and being mindful about how I sit/stand/lift, etc.

Today's not a good one....my back's been jacked up for some reason and I'm dragging myself around like a bag of cement. SO sleepy!

do have very rare days here and there that I just am achey but not hurting to the point of tears, those days/moments are cherished.

I know that whenever I have on e of the grandchildren to watch, it just is not going to be a good day physically. picking them up, holding them, caring them UGHHHHHHH HURTS

I have hours or one half days when I feel pretty good but in the next minute it hits me. I feel it's progressive too. I was diagnosed in 2010, new symptoms all the time and things seem to be getting worse. Right now I am exhausted everyday, trouble getting out of bed and lots of pain. When I think there is no end to this I get depressed so I try to believe I will find the cure.
