Sorry the bad weather hit me last week too. I basically just grunted for the whole week.

I practically lived on the heating pad last week.

Eat clean and avoid excess sugar or caffeine. Drink extra water. I notice when flaring, the worse I eat, the worse I feel.

Hi CKF...welcome to the fibro family :)

Over the years, I've practiced deep breathing, meditation using mental imagery. It has helped me take my mind off the pain and focus on something positive. keeping busy doing something I enjoy does the same thing. Distraction helps. The deep breathing helps relieve some stress and the less stress...the less pain :) Taking time each day to relax is important.

Glad you have joined us...you can find some great fibro info at the top of the page in fibro 101 :) Post often, we care!

Hugs, Robin

Hi, CatKittyFish, and welcome!  I'm deficient in Vitamin D3 because I wear sunscreen whenever I'm out in the sun.  Many of us are deficient in this vitamin and that can cause pain.  I also use malic acid/magnesium supplements that help with pain. 

 

You do need to keep moving with fibro so I do stretching exercises and walk at least a mile a day and this helps with pain and fatigue plus I pace myself when doing things.  All of this helps.

 

Be sure to read Fibro 101...the first thread on the forum.  There are links to good info about fibro and you will learn a  lot there.  There are links about Vitamin D3 and malic acid/magnesium supplements, too.

 

I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.  Don't hesitate to ask questions because we are here to help you.  Hope to hear more from  you soon.

Catkittyfish- I live in Alaska where the sunlight is limited. We have frequent fronts, especially now before the snow. First I would check your vitamin D. It really plays a big part in your mood and pain. I bought a SAD light three years ago. It has been a life savor for me. I try to keep busy and focus myself on postive things. I try to stay out of the pity party days. Lol If you can get good control of your pain, it makes life so much better. I hope you have a better day. It's good you are evaluating yourself, it means you care and you want a change.

thanks everyonne for your replies. Im still not doing do hot. I know I should be taking vitamines, but I never do...they seem to be expensive :( I know my pain is acting up from the weather changing and stess. I also know I dont eat very good. I really dont eat alot of sugar and I have almost completly weeded coffee out of my diet...I stick with herbal tea and natural sweatner like honey. I love tea. I used to meditate alot, Ive stopped for some reson and I never seem to take the time to do it, even though I preach it to my boyfriend for his anxiety problems. I just started a new job this week and I really hope that will bring down my stress I have been unemployed for 3 months and bills where starting to pile up. I also live with my grandparents at the moment, and my schedual is so strange...I am tierd all the time...i get home around midnight from my new job, and usuly can't get to sleep till about 3 or 4 then i try to get up by 10 am cause I get ready for work at 1. I hate getting used to a new schedual it takes my body forever. Well I have forgotten where I was going with this, so I guess I will just say goodnight. Thanks agian everyone!
