... pacing themselves on what they do when they are having a good day? As long as I have had fibromyalgia, you'd think I would know better than to overdue it. Yesterday when I got home from work the sun was shining and trying to melt off some of the 3+" of ice we still have from the winter storms which hit us. I got the chopping blade out and started in chopping, shoveling, etc. on the deck trying to clear off some of the areas where we walk the most. By last night I was hurting so bad I felt like someone had literally beat the snot out of me. My shoulders ached, my entire back ached and my knees hurt so much I could hardly walk. I found some of my muscle relaxer and took a couple of those along with my pain killer. I spent the evening in the recliner with a heating pad on my lower back, hurting so much I could hardly stand it! I was upset with myself for I had known better than to do what I had tried to do with the ice mess. This morning I still felt like an old, old lady, barely able to move. I can't believe how dumb I can be at times, but I have a really hard time NOT doing things I shouldn't do when I am feeling better. Maybe I will learn something from this. I certainly hope so. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin. ~Anonymous ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** CHECK THESE OUT:
