This months has, hands down, been the worst for me with my fibromyalgia. I have been off work for three weeks this month and stupidly struggled through one week at work. My body has been really protesting and has been telling me in no uncertain terms it has had enough. If you push yourself too hard for too long you are physically going to crash. That’s where I am at just now. It’s made me realise things need to change in my life and I feel positive about making some changes for the better. The good thing about this flare? My mood has been good and I’ve remained pretty upbeat and positive. That’s a big step forward for me. Usually I will be hating on my body for failing me. I’ve realised that there is no point in doing that as it just makes you miserable. Here’s hoping I am back to my usual self sometime soon.

What made you happy this month?
Completing two summer session classes and not making less than a B in either of them made me very happy. Just managing to complete them made me happy. Knowing that I can do that makes it clear that I can survive a normal semester with a “normal” load.
