Today is not a very good Fibro day.

I've been doing a lot lately- normal people things, and once again I "forgot" that I'm not without illness. There's a tendency to do that when feeling like tasks or activities are passable. I end up way overdoing it and reaping what I sow.

Tonight, as I sit here with rolling waves of nausea and intense back spasms, just waiting to vomit, I am so grateful that this is no longer the daily norm. Sure, being sick is. But the intensity is not as severe, and it is in these moments that I most understand just how very far I've come over the years.

It's never easy, and it doesn't stop being frustrating, but I know this will pass and I will settle into my daily sick versus this hell.

Please let that be tomorrow.

Hello there! I invite you into the journey as I navigate Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & all the other health issues that come with it. It has been a rocky 9 years, and through the process I have learned so much, and have connected with some truly wonderful people who are also going through their own battle with Fibromyalgia. It is my hope that in sharing my struggles & victories, that I might invite you into hope, precious reader. I know how crippling it is to get sick and not have any clue of how to start feeling better. Over time and LOTS of error, I am continually learning the balance of living with chronic illness- when to push and when to be still. A lot of it has been an uphill climb, but sometimes I'll stop and look around, and there is so much beauty discovered through the trial of sickness. It changes everything completely and forever. I now know that isn't a bad thing, but for a very long time it certainly felt that way. This is my story.I believe and adore authenticity, so this won't always be a peppy blog. I will be REAL. And in that, I invite you to know you are not alone. Please do visit anytime. Have a blessed day!
