question - good to bad then bad to good

I have a question. Do any of you all have cycles where you get better in body and/or attitude even though you dont even try or care to get better? Then on the other hand, do you get worse in body and/or mind despite your best efforts to keep a good attitude and do what you can for your physical well being?

I have experienced that a lot over the last 30 years and just want to see if any of you may experienced the same.

And again as always, thank you all for your time and responces.

Most definitely! Fibro is absolutely a syndrome where symptoms vary, sometimes from day to day....I've had bad spells, or flares, that have lasted a couple of days, and some that have lasted a couple of months....the last two weeks, I've felt GREAT....until yesterday, when I crashed. And usually the emotional follows the physical....And lots of time there really seems to be no rhyme nor reason for why I'm feeling better/worse....it just is....

Hope this helps! HUGS from down south :)

yes and with other health problems it's a roller coaster ride both mentally and physically

Sometimes there is absolutely no reasoning it whatsoever. Other times it can be things that are totally beyond our control. Weather, stress, etc.... It's like having fibro is somewhere caught between a roller coaster ride and a balancing act. We just have to learn to go with it. Acceptance is such a big part of it. Hugs

This disease is the clearest case of "Wag the Dog" I've ever seen! I'm sure you'll agree.
