Pain on Christmas day.  Crappy!  I don't know what to think about having to feel crap on Christmas day, and having a brave face through it all.  It is difficult to slink away and rest, or be sore... I don't want the attention!  Do you?  I don't want to feel bad about it, but what the 'f' does one do?  Do you get tired of making excuses?  Everyone I was with knows I have fibro, but do you wanna be 'that person'?  I HATE having to feel sore, and then tired from being sore, and then tired because I can't sleep but still do the stuff of a mother and wife so everyone doesn't feel bad or worried... it is such a vicious crappy, sad cycle!  So my first base is to just go with the flow, second base, smile and nod, third base wince and maybe have an extra gin LOL!!  What else can you do?  Ha!

Everyone has their pain.  I guess I just feel like it could be worse right?  I'm really tired of being sore when I flare which has been pretty intense lately.  The weather, the energy when it is about to storm and you can feel it in every joint in your body... it is like when cat's and dog's know there is about to be an earthquake, they are the first to disappear and hide... well I know when a storm is coming because I hurt like hell.  It is not a fallacy that is for sure.  My sister is the same and she lives in a different country... it hurts more than ever!

I am sure that I have said in the past I don't want to whine while I blog, but today, today I have decided to have a whine.... and well, not to mention a few wine too!!  I don't know what to say to regular people... that don't know what it is like to hurt EVERY SINGLE DAY... in some way, shape or form.  What can you say?  No one gets it but you.  Other fibro and chronic pain sufferers... to feel pain of some level every day... it is like a story that you don't quite know how to explain, and can't remember if the main character turned right or left, or was it 2 months or 4 months, did they fight or make up... it is a bloody jumble after awhile because the pain seems to run the show... I am going to take time again to read more and try and be more mindful and beat the crap out of the flares, and the daggers of fibro!!!  

Today is Christmas day, and today I say F-you fibromyalgia!!!!

Go well readers and fellow fibro sufferers!  Happy holidays to you.
