I have the - I've been beaten by 5 bats feeling everywhere going on. I just laid down in bed to rest with my extra long heating pad and took my pain meds and a muscle relaxant. Thank goodness my Dr is kind and allows those meds - I know many Drs will not - I use to have a Dr like that. I hope none of you are having the 5 bat beating feeling but if you are - you're not alone. My face pain has also worsened again.
It has been raining in my part of Michigan the last 3 days and of course cold. I am grateful for my warm and dry house and bed.
I have been pushing myself beyond my capabilities for 3 weeks- plus had a virus and my body and brain has had enough. STRESS.
My husband and I separated a few weeks ago and he is behaving badly. I make boundaries and he doesn't respect them. My 17 yr old is more mature than his father.
Also, my brother is staying here for the Holidays - which is great - I love my brother - he wasn't going to come to Michigan this year for the holidays but decided to come to be supportive to me because of the separation - but it is like having another unhelpful teenager around.
Thanks for reading my vent my fellow fibro friends. I hope everyone has a good sleep tonight with minimal pain.

Your bats have some how made it to MO. Today has been the worst.
Snow started last night and I couldn't move out of bed this AM without help from the husband and then walking cane. That was about noon.
Finally felt like taking a warm shower and getting dressed around 4pm.
Still feeling beaten but have my meds on board and the electric blanket cranked to 10 a one little dog on each side of me.
Husband will be home from work at midnight and he won't wake me up if asleep but the dogs will.
Doc appointment tomorrow at 930 hoping he my GP will give me the toradol shot ordered once a week by my Rheumy, that will save me a trip 30 miles away, also need myo relaxers RX rewritten. This was just a follow up from him adding an antidepressant but I have so much going on......"Isn't that always the case with us?
Milily hang in there, at least I know how your body feels, hoping your emotions heel quicker than our bodies do.

Understand what all of you are saying & experiencing. Weather is also a key factor in how much beating the bats do. Some of my bats are being used by professional ballplayers. They really know how to swing a bat.
I also like to say that I have a bowling ball sitting on my shoulders instead of my head. That only adds to the overall pain.
Fibro is such a fun companion & being a male only makes it harder on me.
Best wishes to all of you. Hope your batter will swing & miss more often like some of the major leaguers do these days.
I understand the bat pain and the face pain. Be sure to do some stretches. Also Leo told me to try putting (for me I use fibrofreeze) on your face and it helps some,. I think the neck stretching, and keeping my back loser has helped me a little.
I am glad you are brother there but maybe he just needs to be told what to do, like a kid does. He probably doesn't even think there are things to do that will help you,. Just speak up and ask him.
Hope things get better fast for you.
And I say that or Christmas you tell them you're disappointed you didn't get what you asked Santa for: A housekeeper;-)
It would b nice if all baseball players &truck drivers took a couple days off for Christmas huh?
Merry Christmas - Ho Ho Ho - ouch ouch ouch
We had about 4 days of really nice warm 60-70 degree days and I was almost pain free ,but then the temp went down in a heartbeat and I am back to being a baseball hitters dream!
Right now my pain is at about an 8 and has stayed there, but the other day I decided that I only needed my one tramadol a day like I had taken for the last 2 years...OH BIG MISTAKE ON MY PART!!!!!!!!!! I did it, because even with my two tramadol, I was still hurting bad, so I figured why waste the extra pill, but obviously they are working somewhat, as my pain went to a 10 for two days because I was trying to play doctor!
Merry Christmas, lets pray for at least one less painful day!
