Thanks thought I felt on top of the world yesterday today I am back to earth with a bump feeling dizzy, itchy and all the other normal stuff. Just wasn't sure if it was normal or not as new to this fibro mylarky x

Is it normal...? Yes, sorry it is. The temptation to get so much done when you get that burst is just too irresistible at times, and then, yes, you pay for it later. I am halfway thru' cleaning the cupboard under my kitchen sink. Used a window cleaning pole to get to the back corners to clean them - think there is a leak - just had to sit down, can't even stad up now! I've done five loads of washing over the past two days and finished a load of washing up leftover from Sunday lunch. Now I'm left with a kitchen floor full of cleaning/washing/polishing stuff, the cupboard doors wide open, an old rag under a pipe to see if that's where the water is coming from and I can't move, I can't finish the job no matter how I try - I'm just in too much pain and tired to move! Gentle hugs, Julie xxx

I know exactly what you mean. I tend to get this burst of energy first thing and then it is all down hill from there for me. I am so sorry to read that you have this too.

All my hopes and dreams for you

I'm afraid so, foolishly on a good day I tend to try and pack everything in and do to much. sadly my good days seem to be going further and further apart. x

I'm afraid we're all guilty of doing too much on a good day. My husband watches very closely if I'm tempted to do any gardening. I always used to spend hours out there, but now an hour at a time is enough. Anymore and I'm useless the next couple of days. We have to learn by trial and error what we can manage. I'm always thankful for a good day though. MariLiz

They use to call it over activity under activity. Yea, yea yea. I would start the day doing it what ever it is I was doing, and as I started doing the pain would become so intense. There were days I really thought I was going to die. The pain was so overwhelming. I could not think straight, I actually became delirious with the pain. What I was prescribed back then did nothing for me.
