A Day with Fibromyalgia
I
think it is time for me to stop trying to figure out what the worst
part of having fibro is. I think that answer varies from day-to-day
depending on how that day is going. Today I would say (at least at this
point of the day =) ) that besides being a little sleepy, it's not too
bad having fibromyalgia except for the "waiting for the other shoe to
fall" mentality. What I experience with fibro is I never know when the
symptoms will strike! That is very taxing on the mind!!!
I do
know that since I started taking the zija smart mix consistently in
September of 2009, I am doing better! My pain levels are better, my
fatigue is much better, my energy is better, my outlook on life is
better! I am realizing that my outlook on life is key to dealing with
the fibro. I am learning to recognize when my outlook is slipping. I am
learning to catch thoughts that are leading me down a path I don't want
to go. By recognizing that I am slipping, I can head off the depression.
Yes, depression-most people with fibro struggle with it because it is
very depressing to hurt constantly, to get up in the morning as tired as
you were when you went to bed, etc. By the way, Zija has really helped
with the sleep issue, too!
