Hello folks,who finds it hard to keep up with the things they enjoy?I find it hard to see dawn till dusk without e need to change or shorten my plans,last night i went to a concert of one of my favourite bands,I was right at the front, I danced(using that term loosely) waved my arms about,screamed and hollered(sang)stamped my foot for another song:) pretty standard isint it,taking me back to seeing them 25 years ago, but its not 25 years ago,I'm not that person to drink many pints and party till four in the morning,even five years ago i was doing that but no chance.Today I'm in agony like ive fallen down stairs and kept going till everywhere got a hit,ive not managed to get ready or go out today but I knew the outcome and made the sacrifice, I will forget this pain but will remember a perfect nite for me even tho I was in my bed at half eleven,on a Thursday as well oooo:p Seriously its taken an age to discover you need things to look forward to and strive for!gonna keep trying :)))

I refuse to let fibro stop me enjoying life.... Still do to concerts - but I do seated only not standing (although I will still get up and dance as much as possible and have a quick sit down between songs). Yes I suffer afterwards, but I usually try and rest before I go and the days after

I go to the theatre regularly with my daughter (usually musicals) ...and again, find that the sitting for a few hours increases pain and stiffness, but it's always worth it xxx

I do love a musical myself but no one else I know does:( but yes adjust some things around your two hour 95%full power and then after for however long bk to 50/60% as per usual but at least there is the experience that if your like me causes a big smile :()

You have to take things more easily when you have Fibro, or as you found out, It bites you! You can't do what you used to 25 years ago!

I know the feeling, I used to do a lot of sport, but now I can only spectate; dread to think what would happen if I got on a horse now! Or if I tried rock climbing again!
