Facing The Day

Having hoisted and rolled your fibrotastic body from the bed, you are now faced with the moment of truth -- force yourself to get up and go about the business of the day -- or get back into the bed as your body is screaming for you to do. Oh my dearest fibrofabulous friends, I know how difficult that moment is. If you are unfortunate enough to suffer the dreaded fibro migraine, on top of all the body pains - then your answer is clear. There will be no going forth. For most of the rest of us, there is no choice to be had - we must force ourselves to dress and get out the door to work. Unless you have successfully fought for disability - then you, like me, summon up your resolve and draw on reserves of strength you didn't even know you possessed.. and you go forth... sometimes limping and hobbling... always hurting... but full of determination to face another day living the fibrotastic life. Give yourself an oh so gentle pat on the back, it will give you encouragement and help you as you press onward. You are fibrotastic - and you are amazing :)!
