Thank you. I only have class one day a week so that is good. That is why I am SO dissappointed in myself. It is like--come on, I should be able to handle 6 hours of class once per week right? But I just could not today. What I did do those was organize all my schoolbooks and schoolwork. I'm going to work really hard here at home to get my final projects done. I'm not giving up--I just need a catch up day.
I wish I had help with my little guy. What I wouldn't give for a Mother's helper.

Holes are ok for a little while, but then they get cramped and boring. Have a day...get yourself some rest and most of all...stop beating yourself up! You are not a failure...you are in graduate school and have a tiny baby! Even a person without FMS would have a hard time with it...you are doing GREAT! Be well and take care of you.
Hugs,

Moon, your instructors are there to help you with your work, and in order to be of optimum help, they need to know what may be impacting your ability to be at the peak of your game. Give yourself a huge hug for having the courage to come out of the "fibro-closet" and cut yourself some slack when you need to do so. Don't beat yourself up because the fibro is already doing that and it doesn't need any more help(smile). You got into grad school when many others can't and won't, so be proud of your achievements. Siting through a six hour lecture period is tough for anyone, let alone a fibro-sian, don't let anyone tell you differently. I've seen rugby players with butts made of iron who are practically crying after sitting through a six hour class on lecture hall chairs. Today was a painful foggy day for you, but tomorrow you will start off anew again. Be like water and flow where nature takes you.

yes just take it easy today.I am glad you are not going full time as that would be really hard for you.No grannies nearbye who would babysit for awhile. You take care marilyn

I agree with the posts before me. I just wanted to let you know that I am here if you need anything. Dawn

Hey Moonbeam, don't be so hard on yourself girl!! A 3 month old is hard work, rewarding, but so tiring. You are still getting over the birth. So, you didn't make it to class today, this is just ONE day in many. I think you did the right thing in letting your instructors know about your condition, there is nothing to be ashamed or disappointed about here. You are doing brilliantly! Take care, keep well, hugs Owlxx

its ok to admit u have fm and that u are not able to do something.. i know it makes u feel bad to have to but its wat your body needs u to do...**hugs**

I totally understand where u r coming from. I have to push myself dialy to get out of bed, get 3 kids ready for school, then get myself ready and go to work, then i have to prepare myself on the drive home to do 3 hours of homework, make dinner, clean up, laundry if needed, plus i am doing alot of work here at home that i cant get done at work. Add in there the kids extra curicular activities. I have no time to spend with hubby, my only time i get to relax is sitting here on the computer, but i am doing all my work here on the computer so its a no win situation.
Some days we just gotta say screw it.
I rarely get a break on weekends although i try to, unless i sleep all darned weekend like last weekend.
Its ok to have these kinds of days, its simply the fibro.
You are not a failure, you are a busy new mom with alot going on, you have succeeded and made it this far, thats something, that should tell you that u r not a failure dear, somedays we have bad days and just cant do a thing. Its ok.
keep your chin up.
