One Day Great, One Day Horrible!

Fibromyalgia, what an awful thing to be diagnosed and have to live with. It leaves those of us who suffer from it walking around in a fog & with what I like to describe as a constant toothache in your entire body most of the time.

Does the weather really affect those of us who suffer from Fibromyalgia? I don't know. I can honestly say until I fell and broke my leg the first time, that I was doing well with some help from my ortho doctor giving me facet blocks in my back. I was still able to be physically fit!

Now, I am in pain all the time. I feel like the tin man with grease in her veins instead of oil. As long as I am up and moving all of the time, I am fine. However, once I sit down, standing back up is tremendously painful. My hips ache, my feet ache, my back hurts and sometimes I wonder if I am going to be able to get up at all.

I am trying to get a support group in Grays Harbor set up as I feel there are more people in the are that have this and are suffering in silence.

Anyone that suffers, please let me know, I would like to know how it affects you and your daily living.
