Hi all Fibro Pals

I,today are in a mess throbbing from head to foot and it feels as if my whole body is shaking...Yesterday I were driving home and were on a clear straight road in readiness to Pass a Tractor. There was a man in a Mercedes behind pushing me. I indicated and pulled out, next thing I looked in my wing mirror and the Mercedes was trying to Pass both Me and the Tractor...I felt my car getting Bumped...I Paniced and Pulled over...After quite a few exchanged words, and details he left the scene. Luckily the car was not damaged only the Alloy but thats bad enough.. I sat in my car for half an hour after shaking and crying I did'nt even have my phone on me...I were in a right mess yesterday from it, and not alot better today either...Sorry to rant on, but I had to tell you all...

You poor thing, nothing makes fibro worse than extreme stress. It is time to pull out all your feel good movies or a good book and try to relax.

Cheers

Gloria

Hello Claire... I really do feel like crap today, probably the lul before the storm...A huge flare on the way I guess, not looking forward to it..

Hello Tiswas...I wish I could relax, but I can't. The accident is too fresh in my mind and are seeing it all the time. I am so wound up at the moment, not good for me I know...I am expecting a flare to turn up and visit me soon. May be a glass of wine will help do you think..

I totally agree. Life would be so lonely and stressful without it.

its a stimulant hun only make it worse .

you have to learn to relax i know its not easy it took me an age to learn to switch and do relaxation , now i can do it with the phone ringing and every thing .it will take time  . have you got any lavender essential  oil thats what you need calming not stimulating. 

more you stress and keep thinking about it and going over it the more stressed you will get the more stress chemicals you will release into your blood stream the more pain you will get

,its as simple as ABC ,i am not pretending its easy because its not . and in the end its your choice. your dealing with the flight or frieght syndrome 

take a look at brain retraining programes for ME/ fibro  on the net  its explained well there .

Poor you Anne, don't let anyone push you wether in a car or not....feeling for you, any shock can  makes our symptoms  worse ...hope you have an awsome day today...be blessed...:-) xxx

Hi Christine...Many thanks for your thoughts...All that seems to be happening at the moment is the accident coming in my mind, over and over...Its horrible, I still fell as though I am shaking inside an extremely bad headache and pain like nobodys business. I guess the flare has now arrived...Not to worry, I will get through it I hope...Regards...Anne..

Hiyas Anne....I am a Christian and I really don't know what I would do without being one..such strength I get from the bible...here is a very important verse I adhere to..there is soooo much that God encourages me with every day...enjoy...avagreatday...:-) xxx

in part from the book of Phillippians cheaper 4. Verse 8.. Luv it..

 .....whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

Philippians 4:8

No I'm sure yr not, it's gonna happen, that's for sure. Hopefully you are in a position that you are able to take whatever time you need to get through it. Thinking of you missis

Hi Anne, I used to read all the time. On the bus and during breaks at work. I don't remember ever going to bed without a book even as a child. I would have read at least 2 books a week. Now i am lucky to get through a book in a year.

Hope you are feeling better tomorrow. Try drinking some camomile tea before bed.

Soft hugs

Sandra

Hello Anne,

Sl sorry to hear about your awful experience. Be kind to yourself, and give yourself time to recover from this. I think anyone, Fibro or not, would find this difficult to get over.

Take care, Anne

Morning Sandra,

I drink Camomile tea every other day, and green tea every other day. Does not seem to do a great deal for me. Yes I am feeling a little better now thanks. I have put the accident from Monday at the back of my mind now. Best place for it.. Have a good day...Anne...

Morning Anne

Thanks for your reply. Yes I am feeling better now, trying to shove it to the back of my mind. Although it did shake me up as it has never happened before. Think I will take myself for a short stroll in the fresh air today.Regards...Anne...
