Realizing life isn't going to be the way it was is something we have to face. Changes are needed. I think we actually grow as a result of our chronic conditions. We learn to love ourselves for who we are and not what we do. We learn how important emotional endurance is. Our thoughts create our intentions, so focusing on the positive helps bring about positive changes.

We can't let our conditions get in the way of our happiness. Being at peace with yourself makes living a little bit easier. I've been riding the emotional roller coaster for a long time but slowing finding some endurance.

Peace to all of you. :-)

Hugs, Robin

I normally do well when I hurt, but today I am frustrated with fibro. I am very tired, hurt all over and my skin burns. So today is hard for me to accept this crazy fibro. I told myself this is the reason why I can't work. You never know when these days appear. I guess I probably said 50 times how bad I feel today. I know it gets old to my family. There is tomorrow that brings joy in the morning I hope!

Angel, I understand. It is almost 2:00 AM and I just woke up with pain. Living with fibro there are so many hard realities we are faced with and eventually we learn to accept them because we can't continue to live like there isn't anything wrong with us. Our lives do change. It takes time to feel as though we regained some quality back into our lives. Initially it may feel like we have lost everything. We do find that we still have purpose. We learn to live with pain and fatigue. There will always be good days and bad. Hoping there are many good days ahead for all of us. :)

Hugs, Robin

Yup, I'm up with pain as well. I definitely get sick of it also from time to time, but overall I am changed for the better. I eat way better, ration my time and energy better, and am actually less lazy now than when I was happy go lucky pain free me. Two years ago I wouldn't touch the dishes or really do that much to help around the house, but now I'm mr mom taking care if the babies and getting the house clean, when I'm not in pain that is.

Great thread Robin,

I think with fibromyalgia comes acceptance of change. We never know how we are going to feel from one moment to the next. Taking change gracefully is hard, but can be done.

Keep posting these wonderful threads Robin...

Hugs, Karen...
