my back feels broken today I woke up this way it seems one thing after another for the last few day after having a not so bad week. I hope it is ok by tomorrow but the good news is I got air in my car tire finally no more long walks on days I need to go somewhere
but the pain today is insane right up from mid back to my neck and out to my shoulders I hurt so bad I think of a bath or shower but I just dont have the energy to go threw with all that getting un dressed then bathing then getting wet then drying off then to try dress again sounds to me at the moment as a real nightmare .I been inn my pygamas for 3 days today today I went from bed to couch to chair and probably back to bed I tried pain medication I tried laying flat I tried I am tired and tired to try now makes me feel insane to say but what more can I try to do
LOL at your cartoon - so true!
Oh God, yes, no energy to take a bath or shower. I swear, I wish you could just put clothes on that would instantly clean you off. Except that putting clothes on is hard, too! But you're right, it all sounds like a nightmare. I never understood when other people said that, as i used to be able to do it okay. but once your arms kind of go, it's much harder. Also hard with the back ache. So it's pjs all the way most days!
Good God, you were walking everywhere before? Maybe that's what brought on your latest flare. That would do it for me. Anything that takes physical activity seems to throw my body into a spin these days, so that really might be why you feel worse. And I'm so sorry about the back ache! Fibro is awful there and so many of us get it there. I don't know about you, but my back is far and away my most painful fibro site.
Another possible way to soothe yourself and relax a bit is a tub bath in Epsom Salts. I'm told they even have Lavendar scented salts. But then again, if you're like me, you can't get down into a tub due to the back pain.
I do wish you a decent night. I'll pry for you to have diminished pain or none.
Hugs,
Petunia
Oh Alesandro, so many of us feel the same way about having a shower. You feel completely worn out after a shower.

Alesandra,
I hope you are felling better. I also have bad back pain so I know what you mean. However, I feel so much better after a shower. When I don't take a shower its like I'm sleepy all day. Yesterday was a snow day for me so I didn't do anything but change my pajama top and that took a lot of energy from my arms, no shower and I was lazy all day. I stayed on the sofa watching tv and playing board games with my daughter. I don't know if you have one or not but my mom used to have a shower chair that she had to use because of MS. I loved it because I could sit down if needed during my shower. It also had a padded piece that reached across the tub so she could turn and put her legs out of the shower. I don't have a problem getting in or out of my tub so I have started taking Epsom Salt baths with Lavender. They are very good. I've also found that sitting on a heating blanket helps more than the heating pad because it covers more area. haha
Gentle Hugs and I hope you are feeling better,
Stacey
I know what you mean. I’m getting this Friday http://www.walmart.com/ip/Comfort-Products-10-Motor-Massage-Plush-Mat-with-Heat/21376189
I hope it helps. I have a shiatsu massager for a chair but it kills me 
so I’ve been trying to find something that I can lay down on. I hope you’re feeling better today.
