Hi maggers Im finding it hard to pace myself Im so use to rushing a round all the time, I still think I can do what I use to do. Then I end up paying the price for it and up in bed for a week or more. Im still getting use to what fibro throws at us. its amine fileld. take care hun gentle hugs x
I feel the sam nothing worse than being cooped up when the sun is shinning and you want to be out in it enjoying it. what I do is depending on how I am I get a chair just sit in the back garden even if its just for a few miniutes. take care gentle hugs
So so true. We all do it, feel good and the challenges start to get something done. Pacing is difficult but agree we must all adapt this in to our lives.
One day at a time with positive and calm attitudes. x
Be kind to yourself and try and get used to saying "no" to requests if you feel it will be more than you can cope with. I now tell work colleagues that I cannot join them for evenings out after work not because I do not want to but because if they want me to function at all at work the following day/week a late night is not a good idea. They now don't take it personally - even when I forget their names!
Absolutely onwards and upwards. PMA (positive mental attitude) easier said than done sometimes but I always try my best. Laughter is after all the best medicine.
I totally agree with Maggers and I know that saying NO can be difficult but you have to as other people will not understand that you can't help them. We need to be heard too. You have the right to say NO, if you feel it's the answer you want to give to a person and not feel bad about it. x
I agree with you maggers laughter is the best medicine for us, that and treating ourselves like I did today. treated my self to a cut blow dry mobile hairdresser came out. it cheered me up now end. The hairdresser did a fantastic cut hubby son loved the new cut. gentle hugs take care
Ive never been a person to say no to anybody, always been their to lend a helping hand, and a willing ear to listen to any ones problems. But Im going to have to start saying no. its time I put myself 1st for once in my life. gentle hugs take care x you are all a fantastic lot on here.
I've got a new Granddaughter Eilidh, she's in Special care as she's not breathing properly, born 13:14 weighing 7lbs 14oz, I'm not allowed to tell anyone till she's back with her Mum Rachel. You aren't anybody your friends, fingers crossed please or prayers if you're a believer that Eilidh will be ok it is worrying.

Shelagh, you grandaughter is a fighter just like her grandmother. Hope she is reunited with her mum fairly soon. Prayers and good wishes to the family. x
It was lovely of him. He bought me vouchers as he wasn't sure what I could cope with so I went and picked what I thought would make me feel good. There was even some left over to get some of the products they used in the facial for me to try at home. Keep hinting although if other half is anything like mine the hints will go straight over his head!
