Sorry it's taken me so long to post, I have been recovering from the long weekend. Friday afternoon, my husband and I went to the cabin and joined a bunch of other couples in the cold rainy forest!
It was slushy and very cold, but we did have a good time. My husband and I used the time to reconnect and it's always nice to spend time with him away from our children. I love my children more than anything in the world, but couples do need to find time to be together.
I came home on Sunday and felt alright, but very tired. Monday was much worse though, this is when I really started to feel my fibro. My eyes hurt to open, my head was cloudy, and my muscles hurt again. It's been awhile since I felt this bad, but I still didn't feel as bad as I usually do. I think the weekend finally caught up with me. As I mentioned in previous posts, I think alcohol does trigger the fibro. There was quite a bit of alcohol over the weekend! Also, I forgot to bring my vitamins, so I am sure that didn't help. And, finally, the cold. I do believe the cold can cause a flare up.
So, yesterday I felt the worst. I took tyelenol PMs and tried to get to bed very early. As I laid in bed, my own body against the mattress hurt. I laid down and wished I could float. It's such a strange kind of pain. I woke up a little better, but I knew the pain was still there when I put my deodarant on...the pressure of the roller under my arm hurt. I HATE that type of ache.
I go to the chiropractor tonight, start of week 3. I hope it can diffuse this flare- is that possible?

As soon as I started reading about the wet and the cold, my body started aching. Hopefully the chiropractor can undo some of that for you. The Zyrtec has really helped me sleep lately -- I really wish I knew why and how it works.
