I've been having this strange feeling lately that I haven't felt in a very long time.  I wake up and jump out of bed, ready to face the day.  I go from activity to activity rushing around like a hummingbird.  I work in my yard cleaning out flower beds that grew up over the summer, clean up limbs in the yard, plant  and separate plants in my new clean beds.  I harvest the last of the vegatable garden, do laundry, play on the computer, go to basketball games for my son.  Rushing, rushing, rushing! All the while I keep thinking "When will I collapse in pain".  Well for the past 2 weeks virtually pain-free.  Minor little twinges and tiredness from a hard day's work, but no major pain.  It's a very scary feeling, this feeling of accomplishment.  It has been so very long since I could actually say "I feel good". 

To what do I owe this wonderful feeling? Well I'm not quite sure.  Yes, the cooler weather energizes me, the brisk fall air. I did have my Remacaid treatment for my arthritis 2 weeks ago and my dr gave me a cortisone shot in my knee.  The knee feels so much better. I also started a month ago on Osteo-Bi Flex Glucosamine tablets twice a day and a Vitamin B complex gel tablet every day.  If that is the reason YEA!  Whatever the reason I am going to embrace this feeling for as long as it lasts and think positively that I am in control of my body again and I can feel good. It feels good to be in control once again. Yes, I know I may be setting myself up for a fall, but I  don't care.  It has been so long since I felt in control of anything I want to relish the feeling.  The thing I hate most about Fibromyalgia is that it takes my control of me away.  Well for now I"M IN CONTROL soooo WATCH OUT WORLD!!
