Thanksgiving brought with it a four day weekend for me away from the hustle bustle of work and school...... I slowed down enough for Fibro to catch up to me. My days off are the worse for me. I must keep active to keep ahead of the pain, fatigue, and depression of fibro......

Not so much a question, just a thought I needed to express.

Jokat I understand what your saying. I kept going Wed thru Sat but after everyone left yesterday morning it all caught up with me. Is it adrenaline that keeps us going when we have to??? I can't say I wasn't in pain while everyone was here cause the weather change brought pain Sat but I kept going. I was trying to figure out Fri, I think it was, why I seem to have more energy when there is other people around than when it is just my DH and I. Granted I still went to bed around 10:00 at night but the grandchildren sounded like horses running through the house til they were put to bed.

 

luv and hugs

Jokat, fibro caught up with me when I was carving the turkey...the last bit of "work" I needed to do.  I made it to the table but felt like a limp dishrag!  LOL  But now, we can get busy with the next holiday!

OMG Lee Ann I had a dream about that this morning. I was getting all these returned checks in the mail and I couldn't get to a computer to check my account to see what was going on.

 

Gotta go check my checking account. tongue

Isn't is weird how we can keep going and going and then when the holiday/event/important thing is over we just sink into a pile of pain? Marlee, I think you're on to something about the adrenalin. I believe it masks the pain response. I know when I was first in college and doing more walking than I'd ever done I used to sit down in a class and my legs and hips would just scream at me. I thought I was out of condition but after the third year of pain I just decided my body didn't like to move! tongue When I had young children I would run all day and then when I went to bed at night I'd be racked with pain, like I'd been saving it up! So very strange.

I hear you, I go through the same thing at work. I can feel horrible all day, but once I start to move at work, I don't think about it so much. I feel more motivated, and most of my pain leaves. Then when things slow down and I'm cleaning up, it all comes back with a vengeance. I think you are right about the adrenaline, Marlee. And that is why I strongly believe in exercise to help with fibro, I know I feel better when I move. So I'm very thankful that my job and my children force me to move.

Right now I'm trying to get motivated to go on that treadmill, even though I would much rather lay on the couch and have a little nap while dd does the same. But I've been feeling bad for a couple weeks now, I need to get over this hump and get back to where I was.

Jokat, I hope you feel better soon. And that the holidays made it all worth it?!
