Having a lot of pain this AM.Due to the fact I just started medications last week.So what do you do when you go thur this?
In answer to your question,
I often think why me !!!!
When the pain is to much and i have not slept much and got alot to do I often think why me.
But I know that I am not alone in this .
Warm baths and showers are my flare cure or at least makes me not hurt so badly. I also share discussions from my BensFriends with my family members. It builds understanding and compassion.
Rest, stay hydrated, stay warm and when it's too crazy around the house find a place where you can shut yourself off from the chaos.
Welcome BBGs to this site and please if you need any help, let me know...I will try to help or get you pointed in the right direction anyway. I hope you get to feeling better soon, you're not alone but knowing that doesn't always help. You can always count on your friends here for that shoulder we all need.
Be sweet to yourself new friend....that ALWAYS helps!

You have gotten some good advice. Yesterday was horrible for me and today is not much better but I have been resting and the warm baths have really helped. I hope your medication starts helping soon.

Elizabeth just reading what you wrote brought tears to my eyes… i am having some of those why me??days. i hurt so bad and I’m so afraid that i am becoming crippled .it becomes harder each day just to walk. DEAR GOD WHY ME??? OK i cried a little and I’m so thankful that i don’t have cancer or have to go through chemo…then i think how dare i complain. its an emotional battle as well as a physical one. k thaks for listening… tracy l
Just take it one day at a time as far as starting new meds, it is less overwhelming that way. Most likely it will take about a month before your system gets used to it, but each day gets better.
I take hot baths, and an electric blanket or throw is real nice to get under. Today it has been extreme fatigue for me, and I am just trembling inside. But perhaps tomorrow will be better.
Maybe one of these days someone will figure this FMS out and come up with some relief for all of us. Until then, we just try to cope, and maybe we can stop and still smell a few flowers along the way to make life more bearable.
I'll say a prayer for you.
