With my new meds I am feeling better able to go about my day. This weekend I over did a little but I saved myself by taking a pai am gin pill and muscle relaxer before bed last night and I am sore but not in pain. I am grateful that I can still work. Not only for the income either. I enjoy my clients talking about their lives, good and bad. The interactions keep me focused on something other than the pain I might be feeling. I have also found out that several of them have fibro as well. I truly am blessed
Deena, I am so happy for you. That is the goal of the combination of meds is to allow you to function. You will learn each day to pace yourself. It's so hard to not overdo. We get better at it over time and as we learn from each overdone day.
dena I am so glad you are doing better remember to pace yourself and rest. I think it is so important to post good things like this for people to read. I have also been feeling better these last few days to. Please keep us posted on how you are doing.
Hi Dena I’m glad your new meds are working for you and that you’re learning what you need to do to reduce or negate the pay back pain, It’s great you really enjoy the work you’re doing and your relationship with your clients; I’m retired and I really miss it. I think being able to focus on other people; or projects that take our minds off the pain and other issues makes a big difference in our lives.
I’ve had FMS for a long time now and although sometimes I can pace myself or don’t have a choice, often I overextend myself,. Sometimes I regret it, other times I’m glad I went for it; pay back or not. I find the important thing is that I get to make the choice.
Thanks for the positive news, I think it gives everyone hope.
Gentle hugs
