Pain was really bad in bed last night. It had me worried I would wake up in a flare. I felt like maybe 35% fog this morning when I woke up, but I think it’s dropping. I went straight to an ice pack first thing. It’s just so hard to control the pain. Controlling fibromyalgia is impossible.
Slow start to the day, but I did get going in the end. I had to help my dad with something for a couple hours, and that really wiped me out. I could have done without the effort, but I’m glad I spent some time with him. That set my medication schedule back and all of it is causing some issues right now. I’m sticking to the basics so I can recover and control the pain as best as I can. I’ll chill out for the rest of the day and let everything relax and hopefully not flare myself up from too much activity.
These decent days have become filled with fear over the next insane flare up that is inevitably right around the corner. When will it hit? What will cause it? How long will it last? But I’ll never know what causes them, how to avoid them, or how to lessen the severity of them.
