doesn't that just suck the big one when that happens

Yep. Commitment+stress=flare

I'm in a similar boat. I've got a nasty cold & don't feel like cleaning the house. I've got family coming down tomorrow evening to stay the weekend. Fortunately, I don't have to cook a dinner until saturday! Good luck w/your dinner & I hope you get to feeling better! :}

Oh yeah...in a similar boat here.

Yes, I can relate. My life has been full of stress these last few weeks, and now I am in a flare. It started yesterday with the tender, bruised feeling and just took off from there!

Hang in there, the holidays will be over in oh...a month or so...

Absolutely,
I think the stress of anticipating a lot of work can be enough to bring on a flare. Can you change the menu a little and replace some difficult dishes with simple ones? How about using everyday dishes that can go in the dishwasher? (that is if your good ones don't)

I see you in a beautiful tub in your picture. (Wish I had one where the water would cover my shoulders.) I hope that all of your "take care of ME" measured work so that you can enjoy your day.

Good luck and take all the help you can get.

Hugs

Lady Bug said it all!!!!!!!!!!!
Gentle hugs to you

Oh, I can relate... I drove to my sons house Sunday to spend the week with him and his wife. I am cooking Thanksgiving and then have to drive back home....5 HOURS!!!! I hope and pray that I make it!

Yes, I can relate. Let's see, last year I started a day early, just trying to spread things out so I could take breaks, ya know?...still wasn't able to get dinner on the table before 8pm!!!
Remember you deserve lots and lots of patience with yourself...as the prayer says, do what you can and let the rest go...this is for family and friends...remember you are part of the family and friends too!!

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving...gobble, gobble!

Yes, I can relate, and sadly that's why I don't do holiday dinners any more. I used to love it though.

i hate that. it always happens.i rekon its bcos of stressing about how ya guna be that brings the flair on.suks.

I can totally relate. Never fails, I make important and fun plans, here comes the flare.

can i add, i love sto hang with my crazy mates and i rkn u have to fake it to make it.i just get evn with my fms.wage war"

Yes i can relate to this but it is not my whole body its just my knees. I wake up some mornings with no feeling in my legs because the pain gets so bad i lose compelte feeling in them and I can't walk! I miss school alot because the hurt so bad. I missed a totally of 60 days my freshman year of high school because being in pain and doctors visits!
