I am myself contemplating on giving up work, In the past 9 months I have been off 4 months, back 2 months where I reduced my hours from 37 to 16 and am off again now . I am waiting for equipment to start homeworking but because I am now part time they weren't too keen and at the moment I am in alot of pain and don't even think I could cope with that.
It is a struggle financially and my independance is slowly slipping away, but it seems the harder we try to fight it/cope/live with Fibro the harder it attacks us even more
Feel better soon hun, gentle hugs x

I have just finished a Pain Management Program and during my flare ups I was hepled to learn some stretching excersises which didn't stop the flare up but is stemmed it so that I could get back on my feet. I really think that gentle stretching techeniques two or three times per day are going to help a little. I also have all the issues you have mentioned along with my neck, shoulders and Back. one of the best stretches for your hip is tsit on the floor legs stretched out flat in front of you and bring your bad leg up so that your foot is flat on the floor next to your knee and then lower your knee towards the floor sideways. If you can manage it try pressing on the knee whilst it is out and just feel for the point it starts to hurt, and just back off a little. A Pilates group teacher would help you with stretches so that you could continue them at home.
I hope this helps, as for the finger tips sorry I haven't found anything to stop the feeling that my nails are being pulled off yet.....

I know how you feel, lately my hands have been in pain daily, although I have been suffering for over 20yrs, the pains in my hands have not eased of late. As I usually have days with no pains then a few days with pains, ut it has been constant for a week or so now. My left knee I have osteoarthiritis and this seems to be lingering too, especially when going up and down stairs. It's so frustrating but I'm not allowing the Fibro get the better of me. I take regular breaks and try not to over do daily chores at home.
I too wish I could be a lady of leisure but bills still come in and have to be paid. With family to support it's not easy. One day at a time is my way forward.
Gentle hugs and take care x

Regarding moderation and for info - there is a known issue where text without spaces between sentences are treated as links in some cases so get sent for mod. In your case it was PIP.CAB was trapped (and appears as a link here) so I edit a space in. It is an increasing issue due to phone/tablet etc usage and there is a fix in for this but if any "innocent" posts go for mod this will probably be the reason.
If a post gets caught like this and you cannot wait for approval you can use the private message service to pass info on.
