Well it is 1 am. And I can't sleep and have to spread bio freeze on my body! Gee that sounds kind of bad to write...any way just for something to do I will come to read what is going on in the fibro world. You all make me smile....it's like we live in a whole different world from everyone else but I fit in here...hope you are all resting comfortably and snug in bed. When you wakeup....here's a cheery Good Morning to you all!!!

Good morning to you Godstrength. I know what you mean. There are days I can only get a smile from what is on the board. I really enjoy the fact that we can laugh at ourselves as well as support one another when needed. Early this week when I was in my first flare I felt so alone until I got on here and vented and I felt such an outpouring of support and concern. I think because we all understand what the other is going through. I hope everyone has a wonderful and low pain day......
Hugs to all

I know what you mean. It's 2am and here I am. . .again. My new goal is to climb in bed to cuddle with my husband 15 min. before his alarm goes off. He makes cute happy sounds when I do. (Happy me) If I'm lucky I'll be able stay in bed and actually sleep or I end up awake for a few more hours. Usually I can sleep for 3-4 hrs. until the meds wear off and I have to get up. About a week of that and then I hit the wall and sleep out of exhaustion for about 10 hrs. Oh, well. Such is my life now. I'm just so grateful to have my sweetie's snuggle buns to snuggle up to! LOL
And a cheery good morning to you, Godstrength! Hope your day is beautifully pain free and the sun shines brightly on you! Goodnight ` Karen

Hey, Godstrength, what a nice post! You made me smile, too. And you're so right...we are in our own little world, sort of away from everyone else, and we do all fit in nicely! That was the sweetest thought!

Blessings to you,
Elizabeth

Hi Godstrength and everyone else on this board - it's so comforting to be able to come here and read/share all the info, feelings and experiences of dealing with our pain issues and challenges. While mostly supportive, my family and friends really don't understand what it's like to live in daily, constant pain like we all do. Thank you, and thanks for the smile!

Sorry to hear that you had to do the bio freeze dip....I totally understand and am there often. I've learned over the years not to get frustrated when I'm up in pain. I just get up and tell myself I'm on night shift tonight. Hopefully you'll sleep tonight. At least you've kept a good sense of humor about it.
