Hi, I had finally got to the point of feeling better, and then for the past couple of days haven't felt so good. I have had alot of problems with my IBS and headaches. Yesterday I felt pretty achey although it was mild. This morning I knew I was not going to have a good day before I even got out of bed, which is weird for me I usually can't tell untill I have gotten up and moving around. While I laid in bed trying to wake up I was already achey and sore and my stomach having a fit. I don't know what to make of it. The weather is going to be extreamly cold tomorrow and I am not sure if that is what is causing it. If I don't feel good tomorrow that will make 3 day in a row of what feels like a flare to me. I'm not sure I have  never had a flare last that long but I have heard that they can. Has anyone else gone though a flare lasting for days? How did you deal with it? I don't take pain pills anymore and mainly rely on muscle relaxers and hot baths. I try to get as much rest as possible but as you all know that is something people with fibro don't get easily. I just wanted to share because this is very diffrent for me and I didn't know how many of you have had this occur. Any advice would be very welcome. I'm so tired I feel a bit delirous and dizzy having a hard time typing this lol. sad

I've had a flare that lasted for three months. Not fun.
I took lots of pain meds, hot baths and just rested.
This is a time to pamper yourself until you feel better.

I have had them last for months too. I haven't been feeling good since September. And I know it is the weather. I hope that you feel better soon. Like Joy said, time to pamper yourself. Keep moving around though.

Hug, Karen

Lisa- I found out in my own pain if I have a schedule I do so much better. I keep very busy during the day then I am so tired at night I sleep well. I have chronic pain each day, but I try to fill myself with postive things. Music is a real big helper for me. Maybe make some Christmas cookies. I wish I could tell you that your pain is going to go away. I guess I am trying to tell you is find some healthy fun things do distract your pain.

Could it be a bug? That's when I wake up feeling rotten before I even move, as you said.

Feel better soon!
