I finally feel like I am getting back to my usual self, which is welcoming news after a hellish six weeks or so of a fibro flare. A change of scenery and some sunshine has definitely helped but most important has been lots of rest and pacing at the beginning of the month. I slowly built upon what I did each day and was careful not to overdo things. It’s easy to put everything else at the forefront but this month I have been reminded that the most important thing we have is our health and that looking after ourselves must be our number one priority. It’s been challenging to let everything else, such as work, take a back seat. But I am glad I put it to the back of my mind and concentrated on getting myself better. Things have probably been a little too fast-paced on holiday in California but I am amazing myself each day by managing to do all that I want.
