I am back from our vacation and I survived our motorcycle trip of 1,700 miles!!! Doctor gave extra drugs just so I could go...we took breaks, took a cane and I made it. Did I hurt? Yes..Fatigue? Yes..was it worth it? Yes. sometimes you just have to live life anyway!

I agree completely - we only get one life and sometimes we just have to live it knowing we will pay later.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Good for you! Sounds like you had a great time. It is so nice to hear that even with fibro you still were able to enjoy yourself! :-)

Take Care, Dawn

Glad you went and enjoyed yourself. I have taken small 100 mile trips and I was also in pain but I will remember them for the rest of my life and if I have a chance to do it again you can bet I will.

GO, GODSTRENGTH!!! YAY!

I agree. For important things---it's worth it.

Glad you had a good time, hope the ache-and-break feeling ends soon!

I agree, and glad you enjoyed it! We went to Disney World 2 weeks ago, and then to Kansas last week. My mom rented an electric scooter for me so I could manage the parks all week, and it was a life-saver! It was a trip of a lifetime, and even though it wore me out and was hard to manage, I pushed myself to keep going so my kids could enjoy every moment. Then I rested all week in Kansas -- or as much as I could! Living life in bed or on the sofa is not a life I want to have.
