i just want to know, how many of us fibro people are hard headed, you know some diagnosis have things that are common amongst their diagnosis, and i am just wondering if hard headedness is something that is common in fibro, i mean i know that i can't do some things, but i still haven't learned and i keep trying and wind up getting hurt, like for instance yesterday i decided i was going to build a fence around the chicken coop so that i could turn the chickens outside, and i needed one post which was planted deep in the ground and i thought i could just pull it right up which made me fall, and roll around in the yard for about 10 minutes before i made it up and back to the house, hurting like you wouldn't believe, and most of all injured in my pride, why can't i get it through my head i can't do the things i used to do, is anyone elso like me, or am i the only one that is hard headed?
At least you tried and that is what counts. WE try our best thats all we can do.
Everyday I do things that I know I will pay for. Even carring the vacuum upstair, not to mention turning the thing on. The work has got to be done and I'm the only one thats gonna do it or it just doesn't get done. I still continue to research anything that will reduce my pain.
I have found that water arobic therapy has helped me to feel much better. I have reduced my pain & fatigue. I have more energy and stamina. I do it 3 x's a week, I would do it everyday if I lived closer. I drive 30 miles one way, 180 miles a week but it's worth every mile!
