<\/p>\nI can try to psycho-analyze it; maybe narrow the options and get a clue.<\/p>\n
Maybe it is from sitting at my desk teaching last week. Coming off the holidays where my schedule was anything but structured, I am sure sitting for hours at a time trying to recreate structure wreaked havoc on my body.<\/p>\n
Perhaps it is from the weather which has the temps barely reaching 20 degrees by day. It is winter, after all.<\/p>\n
Maybe it is the stairs in my house that make it practically impossible for me to use, but must use, daily.<\/p>\n
Maybe it is just living life, one day at a time, and this flare isn’t actually a flare, but the new normal I am supposed to become accustomed to.<\/p>\n
The Flu just went through my house. I escaped the event, but having Fibro, I feel like I always have the flu anyway-minus the high fever. At least when you have the Flu, the symptoms eventually go away and you sleep…sleep…sleep.<\/p>\n
NOT so with Fibromyalgia.<\/p>\n
So, whether flare or life, I am suffering. I will never get used to not being able to sit comfortably or get up from a chair easily, sleep well or at all, or walk without my joints screaming at me.<\/p>\n
But, life must go on. And go on, it does!<\/p>\n
My family is a blessing to me and without them it would be much harder to handle the challenges Fibro throws at me.<\/p>\n
I am a Fibromyalgia Warrior. I CAN fight this battle. (I do everyday)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So for all you Fibro sufferers out there, you CAN do it. One moment at a time. One day at a time.<\/p>\n
God bless- The Fibro Momma of Ten<\/p>\n
