Hello all, I'm going to go on a little rant for a moment. A Facebook friend sent out a video post about a guy who was in the armed forces and injured his back and knees so bad from parachuting out of a plane too many times and landed too hard. It showed him in leg braces and walking with two canes. He said that the doctors told him he would never walk again without some kind of brace or cane.
The video showed him taking Yogo stretching and working out and in 6 months he was not only walk without braces and a cane, but also run.
Now I give this guy a ton of credit to defy what the doctors said and get well again.
What I hate is with Fibro all my test come back normal and technically I'm fine. However, I'm in pain daily and I'm so fatigued I am laying down half my day. I tried water therapy but the next day after a session I'm in bed.
My point is, if I had something to fight against or a goal to fight for, then I would have some hope that one day I will get better. But I can't see a road in front of me to take. All I see is a life with no purpose because I'm too ill. I can't even offer to babysit my 1 year old grandson for my daughter.
Those of you that have dealt with condition for years I give you a lot of credit. Maybe you have supportive family and friends, but I live alone and no family comes to visit me. So what is it I should be fighting for or against to keep me going?
Hi Mark,
The simple answer is life, you fight for life, for the opportunity to watch your grandson grow
The best advice I can offer is to take it one day at a time and if you get through that then you can get through the next. Don't look too far ahead as sometimes it can make you feel worse. Make a small goal for yourself and when you achieve it praise yourself and set another. The goal could be just getting up, getting dressed and walking round the room a few times
