Not giving in : Fibro Exhaustion vs. A time of refreshing

Today I had a war with my body and my mind on whether to give in to how I was feeling or to keep moving.   There are really very few days that I am not in the press.   I refuse to Quit!....Sometimes, it is hard not to just lay in the bed/couch and not do anything.    I was determined to enjoy my vacation with the Ladies at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  This has been a very good trip here at the beach and I refuse not to enjoy this time.   I really appreciate God for allowing this opportunity to see this part of his earth.  The beach is so awesome to see.  It looks as if the ocean is never ending almost as if the cloud and the ocean meet each other...

I have been able to get some rest that I hope will help me to feel some better as in the days to come.  We have just a few more days here at the beach and I plan to soak up a lil bit more of the sun while I am here.   I remind myself that I am not the victim, I am the victor and I will not be defeated by this illness....in the weeks prior to my coming here, I had some very tough days.  I spent the last few Fridays at the doctor's office for iron infusions and then later found out my levels were the same.  A hard pill to swallow.   Little to no energy, yet pressing with my daily responsibilities,(not complaining, yet thankful----somebody has no legs or hands to move)  Today at the beach, I even witnessed a youg lady that was blind and had to be lead around.  She did not have the opportunity to see the amazing works of the Lord.   So, I promise you! no complaints from me.  (we all have our cross to bare)

According to research it is necessary to have times like theses to refresh and de-stress!!!!! Better known as Coping with your condition..

Fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome strikes, it can be a hard blow. However, with a good treatment plan under the care of your physician, some lifestyle changes are necessary(those around will eventually understand) and a few basic coping strategies, it is still possible to lead a productive and fulfilling life.   It is just necessary for us to lean how to cope and find ways that work for you.  We have to remember to pace ourselves and utilize our time wisely without overdoing it.

Words for today: Don't let the disease control you....Take your life back...(as my Pastor told me just a few days ago: One day at a Time)

I have added a picture gallery for you to get a glimpse of my trip and time of refreshing

Vlog:Fibromyalgia Awareness- Living With Fibromyalgia

Vlog: Living with Chronic pain It a Journey, but still I smile. God give me strength on a daily basis. This is my first time doing a video on my journey of living with Fibromyalgia..I am thinking that maybe if I verbally share that O might have a greater impact on bringing awareness to the struggle that goes along with this condition. As this is an invisible illness that many times goes untreated and unrecognized. We have to find a cute and this will only come through education. What had been your experiences and how have you had to deal with the Ill ness? What modifications have you had to make?

Faithful Friday!!!!

It's Friday, the end of a long week.  Although it has been long, I so look forward to the end of the week.  I like the idea that I do not have to be anywhere at a certain on most Saturdays  and can just move at my own pace.   Today, I will continue to recover at home and try to get over the issues of bronchititis and try to feel better for the upcoming week.  It is bad that one has to stress over how the next week will be even though it is several days away, but that is what I deal with.  I am  looking foward to the day that I can be just like other people and live without worry of physical discomfort. I am working on my faith in an attempt to see that my latter days will be greater than my past.  It is something to look foward to change and it seems that the days will never come.   I am so Glad that I have a relationship with God that constantly gives me strength to help me self not to go in depression.   I know that there are others like me that want throw in the towel.   I d
