Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia awareness day was April 12. It affects an estimated 5.8 million Americans. I am one of the 5.8 affected by it. It is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread pain,diffuse tenderness, and a number of other symptoms. Fibromyalgia can cause significant pain and fatigue, and it can interfere with a person's ability to carry on daily activities.
There are times when I can not get out of bed. I am on all kinds of Medicine and I still can not function very good I have trouble sleeping and I have brain fog, muscle knots,cramping,weakness, headaches, Itchy/burning sick, I have pain all over.
It is so bad I had to close by business. I am trying so hard to keep up with this on line business. I will do it as long as I can. It is taking me awhile just to do my Website. When I type too long my hands start to burn and cramp up. I am a strong person I will do all I can to fight this horrible disease, I have a wonderful family they help me a lot and they understand what I am going .
I'm late on this post because I have been out of it and not been able to think clearly. Better late then not at all.

Take you time, strength is not just physical and moving fast. If you need a break take it. Work at your own pace.

I'm in the same boat. I deal with fibro. myself. I have been slow at working on WA also. The fog and fatigue really get to me sometimes. When I have more pain it exhausts me even more.
I understand totally. It's really important that you don't beat yourself up for not getting done all the things that you want and need to do. I know it's hard not to but just pace yourself and love yourself.
