Let's do September then..... 1st:  New month, and no change. Feeling very down and very achy too. As it comes up to the anniversary of my father's passing on the 5th, I didn't really expect anything less, I just have to try to do what I can when I can. EDIT - Still in bed, went to get out of it and my knee went weak, so been doing some exercises. It took a while but FINALLY managed it! EDIT 2 - J&J Motors phoned, car booked in for service on Thursday 9am. 2nd : 2:10am - Woke up with a bad stomach, and the runs... also thumping headache and back in agony. Feeling very down. 7:40am - Achy from head to toe, stomach seems to have settled though thank goodness and no more runs. I can hear its raining again... making me want to pee. EDIT - Just about got out of bed only took 40mins, sat on my bath board and had a shower with the plug in the bath so my feet had a nice soak - feel totally knackered now though.... that's what Fibromyalgia does to you! 3rd : ...

1st : A new month, same issues. Feeling very achy and full of wind today, pain about a 5. Let me put this here as a reference to the levels of pain. 2nd : I should get out of bed, but hip killing and feeling strange again, neck also in agony. I'm going to try to push through the pain, had a gabapentin and two paracetamol about half hour ago (keep some at side of bed). Pain at a distracting 5 . 3rd : Slight pain, normal aches, a bit of an ok kind of day, pain at a 3 . Got lots done today. 4th : 4:30am - Hell, fibro flare up, in great pain currently, hate being woken up by it. Pain is at a 8 . I need the toilet but can hardly move. Gabapentin and paracetamol ( lucky I keep then by the side of the bed ) as soon as I can move a little and can reach the socket on the wall will turn the electric blanket on as heat helps. It's always the same after a day of relative normality, and a day of getting things done, wallop, my body hits back, why don't I ever see this on...
