    Hi Kaz.

    I am currently on holiday. Dreaded the travelling but was okay.

    Slept on the plane when I needed, took Meds, slept all night.

    Woke up feeling pretty good. Took it easy first day, felt even better. Went out second day. Not far, felt a bit achy but not as bad as usual then stupidly enjoyed myself for about 4 hours on the 3rd day and have been stuck in bed for day 4 and have just managed to drag myself out of bed (day 5) to sit on the chair. Fibromyalgia has tricked me big time , and to make it worse I have just started taking lyrica and have terrible itching. BUT there is an advert here advertising lyrica for fibromyalgia pain and the woman is riding a bike and smiling........ if only lol.

    Have a great weekend all. Gentle hugs xx

      Hi erkah71 Oh bless you I really feel for you, fibro doesnt allow us to step out of line and enjoy ourselves, it certainly lets us know it when we have. Im surprised it didnt knock you about on the 1st day after your journey.Its no fun at all when your on holiday you try and have fun fibro says no your not. It angers me where posters are concerned saying take this for fibro you will be able to do this. Thats misrepresentation of our condition because its not like that, it gives people the wrong impression.I am so sorry how you are how fibro has affected you. But sadly thats how fibro is, and how it affects us. I went away in June 2hr car ride to tywyn in wales. We kept stopping so I could stretch my legs, we got top the flat I was in total agony spent 3 days in bed, unable to move.That was just a car journey and 2hr drive, not plane and being abroad.All you can do is rest up. dont push your self as the same will happen again.I hope you are still able to enjoy yourself fibro spoils all our fun. Take care Big hug coming to you xx

      Thanks Kaz.

      The airline were amazing. And the airport staff. I got the little buggy thing to the gate. Got seats with extra leg room near the toilet and the flight attendant even said to me if I need to use the loo and there's a queue to let her know and she'll make sure I'm in straight away.

      Just had a lovely lunch and back at the hotel now resting because I want to go out this evening for a couple of hours. I have my Cane here (too embarrassed to use it at home) so just stroll around and rest when I need to. Family have been great except threatening to get me a bike every time that darn advert comes on lol.

      Gentle hugs xx

    Tell me about it, Kaz...If I go anywhere, even shopping, I pay for it the next day with pain and total exhaustion.  I have to spend the day in bed, and I mean sleep...I hate this disease...I haven't had any actual fun for many years....gentle hugs.

      morning christine How are you today? Hows the asthma today how did you sleep. The hairdresser came out to do my hair and has done a great job it looks lovely, except Im in bed with a slipped disc. I had to bend over my bath for her to rinse colour off then was it. I had trouble straightening. She finished doing my hair I went to move was in total agony. my husband helped me to the settee where I spent the rest of the day evening laid down. when It came to bed time I was in sheer agony my legs refused to move I couldnt straighten up I was bent over it took 25 mins just to get me off the sofa I couldnt straighten was bent over. my husband had to manouver me from behind, 1 leg at a time my legs just wouldnt move by them selves. getting me upstairs I was bent over with my hands on the stairs my husband moving my legs and pushing me up. we had to keep stropping as I was in agony. it took 30 mins to get me just to the top of the stairs. getting me on off the toilet and into bed was fun games. So Im laid on my back in bed with slipped disc, My laptop propped up on pillows If I keep still Im fine its when I come to move. so much for me going out to dinner today, yesterday I wanted to go out after having my hair done and treat my self to a new top. Just hope it sorts itself out for our trip on the steam train on the 5th sept and our anniversary meal on the 7th. fibro not helping so not having the best of weekends. Never mind onwards upwards. enjoy the rest of the weekend take care gentle hugs xx

    Ohh Kaz, 

    i know how much you were hoping to go out this weekend after treating yourself. On a positive note I'm sure your hair looks lovely and it must have been nice to have a little pampering. 

    Your really not having the best of times lately are you? I'll try and perk you up with that dark humour of mine soon 😈 

    Take care, rest and take time to relax a little. Remember you don't need to trash your back to get a lie in you know ☺️

    Very,very gentle hugs xx
