Yes you hit it right on the head. There is normal Fibro day for me. It’s like a level 2/3 achy where I can do the wash, sit, sweep, sit, order groceries online and sit outside and listen to podcast. Usually I’m good between 10-2 and that’s the end of my day. A glare can be expected after doing something physically out of the ordinary or FOR NO REASON AT ALL lol. Then there is a flare like I have today where it gets to 5/6 pain and I sit in bed with cats. I went to beach (3 hour drive) and spent two nights. So I expected this result.

@leoandbear the pain of fibromyalgia is just horrible when I was working and I got hit with it. I had to leave my job. I really hated it and what it was doing to my life unfortunately you can’t see what it’s doing to you so it’s hard for people to understand that it’s there. I of course know it was there and it hurt bad given enough time, rest hot bath is at night before I went to bed and getting a decent night sleep did make a difference. I eventually found a job I could do or I didn’t have somebody hounding me all the time and that seemed to make a big difference as well. I think if you’re in a job or you don’t have any stress or
Mild stress it’s much easier to cope and get along with whatever job you have. I’m really old now and I’m tired. I’m 81 years old and I still have pain and issues with the fibromyalgia but nothing like I did when I was younger. It hit me when I was about 40 to 43 years old. I think I suffered at least 10 years maybe a little longer it gives you a great appreciation for what it’s like to feel. “good“. I do hope that you get to feeling better. Try to be good to you. Take a massage. Take a long walk get lots of rest. Try to take good care of yourself take hot baths and relax and eventually you’ll get through the day and say there I did that and now I’m gonna be OK for another day.
