Hi and oops,
Isn't it odd that when you have one day of almost feeling normal that you try something NEW...my best friend is a thi chi master and thought that just simple qigong work would help...had a lovely afternoon doing a few exercises..felt wonderful..was very very careful and then WHAM...today just getting out of the chair and a paraspinal back spasm...can't swear here but disappointed to say the least...I'm not giving up...I'll rest today...instead of getting angry at my body I decided to talk to the muscle spasm kindly...it actually relaxed a bit...nuts maybe but getting pissed off only makes it worse...I miss being an athletic woman...maybe I can try this workout on an exercise ball???? Hang ten....

Hi Angel,
Today was a bit of a flare up day...ouch...but that\'s life with fibromyalgia...my husband came home and pitched right in...thanks goodness for him...have the usual leg, back and neck stuff...I\'m really not complaining because that only makes me feel worse...babysat my three granddaughter overnight ages 4, 4 and 7...wonderful little people...fed them, etc., they actually understood that I wasn\'t able to rock and roll with them today...but when their moms came to pick them up I had supper ready for the whole family...yes, I was pretending that I was perfectly normal...no one stayed to help though...sad...someone on this site made a comment about how people just don\'t want to see us...it\'s not leprosy...sometimes I feel like painting black over and under my eyes so that it will make me stand out...just kidding...would be interesting, though, to see what would happen...take care
