I am working on being more attentive to what my body tells me. Since going off the Reliv shakes I have declined measureably. I am not as strong as I was, physically. I get very weak when walking and get major muscle spasms. I am not sleeping well, so I am uping the flexeril to two a night. This gives me dry mouth and I am still sore in the morning, but I am able to sleep. My feet are swelling again, I have that I only feel like I am walking on the middle of my sole of my foot. My shoes are tight. I am getting pains that come and go in all my extremitites. So I stretch often which gives some immediate relief. I am sitting with my legs up which seems to help, verses sitting at a chair with my legs dangling. I am almost always with a headache sometimes severe sometimes mild. My neck and back hurt a lot, no matter what. My ribs hurt, so much that I cannot take a deep breath, and cannot stretch that area, it kills me. This is the new me, I have limitations beyond my control.

It is good that you know you have limitations,I have recently had to learn to pace myself each day.Some days I do and other days I don't and then pay the price.What irritates me is when the day before you took it easy and the next morning you still wake up in pain.
I listen to alot of soothing music,I pray alot and Journal, I also watch Joyce Myers She is awesome and she is so down to earth,you can really understand her. I will keep you in my prayers sweetie.Gentle Hugs and prayers for you :)
