Stress and sadness have started a flare in the pain of fibromyalgia. Three weeks ago we got a new furry member of the family. He is a beautiful milk chocolate Labrador about 3 years old. Boy,does he have personality! He will be going to training while we go on vacation later this month. It's been hard getting him and my granny dog 13 years to get along. And then the horrific shooting in Virginia Beach has really got me. You may not know my husband served in the Navy for 31 years. We lived in Virginia Beach for 12 years. I had been casually acquainted with one of the victims many years ago. I once worked for the City of Virginia Beach and made frequent trips to the Municipal complex of offices.
To try and ease the flare, I have been using my tens unit more, the heating pad, and taking baths with Epsom Salts.I'm hoping talking about the stress will help. Thanks for letting me vent!

@sandytoes Hi that was a horrific shooting It always affects a person when close to them I'm so sorry for the loss of everyone involved .Be kind to yourself and find someway to let it go.Hold your family closer. Last week fibromyalgia @arthritis gained up on me finally got into the sunshine felt better I took everything under the sun but no relieve but getting into it sure helped .Dr gave me Prednisone it has helped , but don't take it only when I'm that much pain.Enjoy your dogs they are healing as cats are too.Enjoy your vacation.
Jen @sandytoes14 Sending some cyber fair winds and calm seas your way and hoping all goes well with the training of the new family member. Also hoping your vacation is restful as well as fun!

@sandytoes14 Sending calming breaths in your direction. When tragedy hits close to home [physically or emotionally] we are never prepared for the aftermath in our systems, especially when we are already compromised. Please be gentle on yourself.
