Hello FibroWarriors! How is your morning going? Mine has been slow and steady. I need to go to the bank, get some bottled water from the grocery, and buy a birthday present. I will probably get two out of the three accomplished. But hey! I also do many things that are not on any list that are a "given."
Self care is at the top of the list. If I don't take good care of this body, I won't be able to help anyone else. And helping others is what makes me happy. Oh! By the way, my post is not just for FibroWarriors. I want to support and encourage everyone on this site. Fibromyalgia warriors certainly do not have a monopoly on pain. I have a dear friend who has RA and never complains. She just tells it like it is. She is so involved with her family, church, and community, you wouldn't know there is a thing wrong with her.
We all need to be reminded that we are human beings, and not human doings. Our hearts are what mstters, not how much we get done each day. Gabapentin by the way. is part of my arsenal for when I have a serious flare. I cannot drive while taking the maximum dosage for me. But on those days when my Hubby can spare the time to run errands, Gabapentin is very soothing. I was definitely afraid I would gain weight on it, so I cut back my portions at each meal. I was able to lose fifty five pounds. I have more to lose. But it is a process. Well, the index finger is getting tired. Love to you all, and we'll chat some more later!
