Fibro and me.

---

I used to be a normal person ..wife, mother the usual things that go along with life. Then I had a bad accident and then fibro raised its ugly head..slowly over the years I got sore and the fatigue kicked in...till in the end my mind couldn't cope with the pain the fog got so bad I though I had dementia, but the test came back ok...so now 14 years later ...I am living alone as my partner couldn't cope with it all....I take over 36 tablets a day including morphine...my spine is twisting and crumbling...I sleep 1-2 hours a night and I am in bed by 7pm every night that is if I can get up in the first place.if I want to go out I need to rest the day before and the day after...FIBRO is a greedy disease it takes and takes everything from your life..Work,friend's then your days...However there is life with fibro once you learn to accept it...pacing yourself...is the key ..along with the right medication ...you can have a life it maybe totally unlike your old life but a life any way...remember were not dying ...so live your days the best you can ..enjoy each day it's the small things ..like a smile from a child ..a coffee with a friend ...small and simple ....xxx
