Have Faith! The Bible (paraphrased) says not to worry about tomorrow because today has enough going on to monopolize our minds. This is true for everyone, but for a Fibromyalgia sufferer it’s VERY true. Worry can add stress to our minds, which overflows to our bodies, which causes immeasurable, debilitating pain that is all-consuming and can last for days.<\/span><\/p>\n

Worry is something I am good at doing; I also know what worrying does to me physically.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a Fibromyalgia sufferer, I have to continually watch out what my mind thinks about. I run a large household, I home-school and I manage our family’s bluegrass band. My husband also has bone cancer. I have oodles to worry about in any given day! The key is for me to take my thoughts captive and “Cast all my cares upon the Lord.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Easier said than done, but I do try. Some days I manage just fine, others…well…<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember…<\/p>\n

“Today is the Tomorrow you Worried About Yesterday.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Take life one day at a time, one moment at a time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The pain will still be there, but we can help control the flares by minimizing the worrying!<\/span><\/p>\n

Hang in there-<\/span>
