Livin' with Fibromyalgia

Today was one of those day that I had to press and not just stay in the bed like I felt like doing.   After many hours, I was able to get up with the help of the Lord to take my children out for a day of enjoying the city and learn some new thing about the history of Arkansas. We went to the Arkansas State Capitol and then to the Peabody Hotel.   Very nice experience for all of us... I do not want them to blame or resent me for the fact that I am ill.   Most times they are like others that do not understand.   I guess, I should say that I do not understand the rime or reason for the experiences that I have on a daily.   I have to just get press and watch what happens with pressing on.   Many days I just can not see pass the pain and if I go with the way that I feel, I would just go on in.   I would literally just do not and probably just lay here and die.   I can not quit.   I can not let this Fibromyalgia win.   I know that there is a release for me.   I know that it is important f

I hope it helps somebody as I know those of us who suffer from chronic pain is always looking for ways to cope and feel better...... ~ SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 12 ~ How to Cope with Morning Symptoms of Fibromyalgia Fibromyalgia distress is no laughing matter, and in quest of many people that pain can be unsteady based on things like; the convenient time, the humidity, and the time of the daytime .

I have been having one of the worst days with this Fibromyalgia....There are really no words to describe the way that I feel. I really did not have the strength today anything. On yesterday, I pressed my way to church. It was a struggle to sit through the service as I could only focus on the pain that I was feeling all over my body. I am glad that I was there as I did gain some strenght and was able to stay through the end of service. We had communion and both my daughter and husband ministered in music and both songs did my soul good. Especially the song that my husband sang. He really did sing that song. I found myself sobbing in tears as he sang "give it to the Lord".......It gave me a greater desire to be in the presence of the Lord as I know that is where my help comes from. I have to trust God to give me the healing that I so desperately desire. On yesterday, I could no see pass the pain that I was experiencing....The more I wanted it to go away it appeared the more pr

On this past Sunday, I attended service with the family and as usual the spirit of the Lord was there.  I love going to church knowing that I am going to get something that is going to help me through the next week.   Words cannot express the joy that I feel just knowing that he will send a word for the house.   it is truly a blessing to be in the presence of the Lord.  I have to be honest and say that it was very hard for me to get myself together.   I have to press on many days due to the fact that pain is still a part of my day.  I continue to learn how to pace myself and not do so much.   Those that are around me really just don’t understand because there are no visible signs that I am ill or shall I say suffer with a Chronic condition.   I have a lot of work to do and even on the days that I feel that “it’s my last and that I am on my last leg” God gives me just what I need to keep pressing.   None of the medications seem to work or either the side effects are too much for me to

I have been trying to keep up my skills and doing what I love. I love taking photos. This allows me to express my self and keep my mind off of the physical pain....A lot of days the pain is too much to hanlde, but I enjoy being able to see thing through the eyes of my lens. Here is one of my latests shots from a photo session that was recently done in my home. I will add more in the next few days.
