yes thats the word Acceptance us Fibromites need to conquer our acceptance levels.......................

[Ginsing]

what do I mean? Well we are told we have Fibro are instant reaction is relief

that at last some one has put a title on our pain and by so doing there may be a solution waiting for us so we feel empowered. We leave the docs to go to research on google or whatever. Sitting with a cup of tea we nod in agreement we see our pain identified - it is scary- it is long term it is our life .

So we look for ways really to ease our daily pain, comforters to cushion our limbs. Pain killers become our daily helpers. We make new friends and accept life with Fibro. We are luckier than a lot of people but some days we forget that.

Now we need to accept that we can still have a good life like this and we can - we need to be positive it helps.

A smile today is good for you and making others smile with you is even better.

Gentle hugs to you today

Nicely put gins as I see it I got to spend more time with my family after having to give up work so I am always here for them.. I have finally learnt to pace myself only took 21 years.. I guess I am a slow learner at some things ... And I have finally grown a thicker skin.. I love my life ... It's not what I imagined or expected but its good

Nice to see you cheerful again as usual, Gins!

You are right - we need a whole new life philosophy to deal with fibro - as do all who suffer long-term disabling illness. We want others to accept us, but maybe we're not always very good at accepting ourselves. Life changes, but if we are prepared to change with it, it may not be so bad.

Positive mental attitude !!!!!! That's what ive tried to say but when I.was telling my husband I said to him having. P. M. T. All the time is easier said than done !!!

He said why on earth would you want P.M.T. all the time ??!?!

So even when I try to make myself feel better about this fibro !!! the fibro fogg steps in !!!!!

Can you believe it. Ha! Ha!!

Perhaps I just haven't got there yet! Life's a journey, and all that. I'm sure I will accept my lot, and yes I do appreciate all I have. I don't have a terminal illness, or excruciating pain. But I struggle to accept being in pain all day, every day, waking up in pain etc.. But you are all right- it slows me down, makes me appreciate the nice things in life. Today it was sunny and I went to look at the lapwings on the marsh at sunset, and it was beautiful. Here comes the spring! Hurrah!
