Well it's Day 6

[FibroMissa]

Hello everyone.  I just wanted to say hello and wanted to thank you all for your support last week with my relapse.  I was feeling very down on myself but am happy to be at day 6 again :) I do feel different this time, I feel I had a slip and that it only made me stronger.  I was so very positive that I was doing the right things but when the pain felt to much I caved in.  I know now that I need to keep up with my aftercare and am following through.  I am continuing to see my therapist but recognizing that I WILL be in some type of pain ...possibly for my whole life but that narcotics is not the answer for my chronic pain.  I can however try other things that are non-medicinal to help.

I am proud of myself, have finally made that lawyer appt to get my separation legal as was leaving myself open to much more heartache.  It's been hard but I have good support and I don't need to be medicated to enjoy things.  I am on a non-narcotic med and it does seem to be helping, as does the vitamins and cleaning up my diet.

I want to continue posting as I know it helps to read and reply to other people's stories.  I cherish the people I have met here and want to thank you all again.

hugs!

I heard that Lyrica works great for fibro too.  Have a friend who has been taking it for over a year, and she swears by it also.  I dont know if you can or cannot get it in Canada??  Great job on day 6 though and keep up the good work :)

thanks radiostar :) I'm hoping that finally taking the step will reduce some stress which will then reduce some of my symptoms as its def causing me to flare up more.
