I have noticed a very similar pattern to my symptoms too. Mid day is the best time!

I have no answers for you, but I also was told that I have hypermobile joints when I was diagnosed with Fibro. This caused spasms in the muscles that are trying to support the loose joints. Very painful situation.

This made me cry. It is so right on for the fibro sufferer. I like the idea of the letter, I may have to write one also.

In the US they are so hesitant to start anyone on pain killers these days I still don't have any. Then when you ask for them they tend to act like you're just a druggie or something. It makes it hard for me to want to ask even though I would really like to have something for breakthrough pain...

I have been doing the daily log solidly since the first of July. I am finding it helpful to keep track of when I took my meds, how my symptoms change throughout the day, what I ate, how I slept, and an average pain rating for the day. I keep mine in an excel worksheet. I think I may add some...

Sounds like you have great friends! I'm glad that you enjoyed your day.

I always have to sit in the shower now. I just feel so weak and it can be tiring to wash my long hair too. Hot baths are my best relief when I'm having a bad day. I take a hot bath before bed almost every night to help me sleep. I take one as soon as I get up now too to relieve the stiffness...

It's good that you know when you have hit your limit. And great that you got out with your friends. I hope they were understanding when you needed to rest.

Listening to music helps bring me up!

Thanks Cmetryme. My mom told me about tapping once a long time ago. I will look it up and try it again. I am trying to meditate but sometimes find it VERY hard to settle my brain down.
