Egg under the gas pedal?

Well, that's how Fibro feels to me.  I can never react to anything with reckless abandon, never "push the pedal to the metal," or - you all know - more pain and fatigue and fog and general yuckiness.  This goes for anything physical, mental, or emotional, at least to me.  That's really a heck of a thing to be saddled with, especially if you are young!!

On the other hand, there is an upside - we are forced to slow down, so we appreciate things we might have otherwise overlooked.  We have to dig down deep and find strength within ourselves.  It's not something we chose, but, with time, we can grow from it.  Ultimately, I guess we have no choice.

My husband had a cute saying...and it was about books.  He treasured books and said when turning the pages, turn them as if they were wings of a butterfly.  I loved that and think of it often.  We sometimes have to treat ourselves that way, too.
