I had been in a horrible Fibro-Flare for nearly a month. I had all of the nagging symptoms at one time or another during that time. I also missed work, missed social events....you all know how it goes. Then..it happened! Today was a "Good" day! Not completely pain free mind you...but a REALLY good day! I have to admit that it has taken great strength, mentally and physically on my part to get to this day. What I mean by that is, on the worst of my days, I always keep juuuuust enough room in my brain and heart to know what these "Good" days feel like. I NEVER give up hope because sometimes when you are in a horrible Fibro-Flare...that's all you have. So I dedicate this day to YOU!! All of my Fibro Sisters and Brothers who are suffering today...don't give up hope, you WILL have a "Good" day. I will remember this post for myself as well, as I may need it in the future! ((Hugs)) to all of you! ShelaBug

Thanks for posting. Yes I LOVE the good days too! Just when I think I'll never have a good one again I get blessed with 1, 2, 3 in a row!
Things have been good lately for me! I LOVE when the fog lifts!!
Praying others will too!!

Wonderful that you are having a good day! I know exactly how you feel.

I have been in flare for about a week now...I wonder if it's my allergies??? Here in the Midwest, everything is blooming which is just beautiful, but it makes me ill.

I've had 3 "good" days in a row and have almost felt "normal". I can feel the symptoms starting to creep back but am so grateful that I had a few days to actually enjoy myself. Went to church, cooked meals, baked cookies, even cleaned a little! Not exciting, I know, but I'll take what I can get!

Good for you and thanks for sharing! Hope you continue to feel better!hugs!

I know exactly what you are saying!! I was so shocked last week. I had a whole week like this. I had more energy then I knew what to do with. And I could even multi task for the first time in over a year. It has creeped back up on me. But I am fighting my way back again!! The relife of warm spring weather has helped me out so much!!!!

I love the good day or days and don't take advantage of them. Sometimes we get so caught up in the bad day flares that we forget about the good days. Thank you for reminding me.

Thank You, Thank You All! Yes! Today is the second day in a row! I planted more flowers, went to Home Depot and picked out patio pavers with my hubby, the sun was shining, went out to lunch. I feel blessed. Back to work tomorrow and looking forward to it. I don't view it as I HAVE to go to work...I see it as I GET to go to work. You all give me strength and hope. I only strive to return that to all of you! GOOD DAY EVERYONE!
