This month marks the 3-year anniversary of my diagnosis with Fibromyalgia. I wish I could say that the past 3 years I have stayed the way I was at my diagnosis. However, my experience has led me to conclude that Fibromyalgia is a progressive condition<\/span>.<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When I was first diagnosed, my pain levels were at a relatively high scale that ran in waves throughout the month. I had days where I sometimes even forgot that I’d been diagnosed. However, within a few months it became more frequent and within a year it was every day.<\/p>\n

Now, here I am 3 years later, and it is a moment-by-moment, throughout-my-day-type-of-pain that I cannot escape. The diagnosis is ever before me and everything I do is a task in itself.<\/p>\n

How do I survive? By thinking positively and making daily short-term goals that are attainable.\u00a0Even if it’s just getting up and moving.\u00a0 By making simple goals (and listing them out on paper) it helps me feel like I’ve accomplished something.<\/p>\n

Before Fibromyalgia, I thrived on accomplishing tasks throughout the day. I guess you could say I was a lister. I liked making lists of things that needed to be done.\u00a0 It made me feel good when those items were crossed off the list, knowing that I had done them. I felt self-gratification in knowing that the jobs were done. At the end of each day, I could look back and feel proud of my accomplishments and feel that a restful evening was well-earned. I was never the type to procrastinate and put things off until another day.<\/p>\n

Enter Fibromyalgia.<\/p>\n

Now,\u00a0 I fight my old self continually. I fight the guilt of feeling like I should be doing more in a day. I constantly have to give it to God and ask Him to guide my steps.<\/p>\n

Psalm 61:2-3 says “From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed lead me to the rock that is higher than I.\u00a0 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.”<\/em> (In that verse, I equate “enemy” with Fibro)<\/p>\n

I DO know the Lord and I lean on Him daily.<\/p>\n

In my experience, I feel that Fibromyalgia is a progressive condition. It has slowed me down in ways I never thought possible. Actually, things I didn’t even realize I took for granted like walking, getting up from a chair, washing my hair in the shower, etc. are all things that need to be done, but cause me pain, and I do not take them for granted any longer.<\/p>\n

My soul yearns for spring and the warm sunshine so I can walk my one acre apple orchard again. As hard as it is for me to walk like that, I know it is something that I must endure. I cannot become completely sedentary. Walking is still a gift and I look forward to the warmer weather again.<\/p>\n

On these cold, blustery, overcast and bleak winter days I do admit my soul can get just as cloudy as the weather on my life. It is during these bleak months that I find that I lean on God even more for a lighter spirit within me.<\/p>\n

I have learned to be a “glass half full” sort of gal. Learning to “keep on the sunny-side of life.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gloomy days match gloomy moods, so I need to be happy, I need to choose the brighter side of my situation…and so do you!<\/p>\n

Happy January and God bless!<\/p>\n
