HOW I DEAL WITH A BAD DAY OF FIBROMYALGIA

Fybro has a debilitating affect on our lives and we have to find coping strategies to get us through a minute, an hour,  a day, a week..We are constantly researching answers on diet, excercise, cures etc etc

After talking to a few of the ladies on here I noticed we all have different coping methods help us get through a day eg:

Humour 

Gratitude List

Watching comedy movies etc etc

While talking to these ladies they made me laugh and I thought that is so important for my mood and to know that I still can enjoy a day..To remember how a gratitude list helps you stay positive and be grateful in the worse of days..To know there is a life outside of the fatigue and pain..

That I can put things into place just to get some form of enjoyment no matter how small..

So I thought why not have a post of positivity in where we can make people laugh, share what we do to have a good day, what we say to our selves to keep going.

I make silly comments in my head  when I get out of bed in the morning when I feel like a stickman (stiff and sore) when going to the bathroom and its always a debate wether I am going to make it in time or should I just buy a  large nappy  or bucket to save myself the bother of worrying about it lol..

I am constantly tripping over the dogs and what a time I have trying to walk around my home with them constantly playing under my feet or following me (I have two stalkers in my home not just one)..

I have already shared that when I am getting off the floor it would make a great Youtube video of my face showing not only extreme determination and strain but ugliness at its best..

Its so important we laugh at ourselves as well to know we can have moments when its ok..

Please share your funny moments, inspiration, ideas on how to keep positive

      I was walking like I had a stick up my bum, people must have been wondering if I was doing it for a dare, the things we do.
