So i'm due to go on holiday to portugal at the start of may, a holiday with the girls I booked last yr when my fibro was at a manageable level. Fast forward 6 months and my fibro is playing up bigtime. I came down with flu around xmas which totally wiped me leaving me exhausted for weeks, this was further compounded by a flare up at easter, the severe winter weather and general life stresses. Now im dreading what should be a fun trip away with a gr8 bunch of girls, im afraid that my aches pains and heightened anxiety will cast a shadow on the holiday. I so dont want to be a Debbie Downer and am hoping that with pacing techniques I will get a grip on my fibro get it to a manageable level and be able to go on holiday and enjoy the weather, the food, the change in pace and stimulation and the girly craic. Fingers crossed

I''m sure the holiday will do you good! Think positive and I'm sure your friends will help you if you have a bad day.
I always feel better after a flight, something to do with the air pressure? I don't know, but it's welcome.
Enjoy your time away, and let us know what a good time you had!

I too think the holiday will do you good. Just give yourself a quiet day when you first get there as travelling always takes it out of you. I love Portugal, we were there in January for 2 weeks and are off again in June. Have a great time x
Hi moffy & wednesday im keeping my fingers crossed that the saying - a change is as good as a rest - will apply. Its amazing how something as simple as a holiday away takes that much more thought planning and prep for someone with fibro i'l be that bloody frazzeked and hyped up by going on holiday that i'l need a holiday to recover lol. Guess i'm just a bit over anxious hopefully I will settle down and just take it as its comes. So moffy positive it is and wednesday enjoy your holiday in June; something to look forward too as we all patiently wait for the better weather to arrive around the uk
