Steps of Life

This was shared at my Fibromyalgia Support Group, and I thought it applied to just everyday life whether you have fibro or not.  I hope you enjoy.

Slow down. Save some energy for our bodies and lives, instead of
giving every last ounce to work, worry, other demands, or
entertainment.

Make a change. Change something in our lives that damages us. No
matter how small, any successful change builds our self-confidence
and makes the next change easier.

Get help. We can't do it alone; life is a cooperative effort. Learn
to find and ask for help.
Value our bodies and our lives. Listen to our bodies and treat them
with respect.

Fill our lives with more pleasure, love, and reasons to live.

Grow up. Educate ourselves, take responsibility, be assertive. Accept
ourselves the way we are, but don't give up on getting better.

I have a friend who might have fibro.  Can you tell me a little about what it involves?

Mel,

If you are coming to the Baptist Support meeting Tuesday night I will bring you a pamphlet about Fibro.  I too suffer from it and it is a nasty disease.  I also have several books I would be glad to loan your friend.

As Baboo said, it is a Nasty disease.  The best thing to do is to go to mayo clinic website and research it there.  They seem to cover it more fully than other sites.  There isn't a lot that can be done for it and it is a very debilitating disease, there are days when I , at 38 years old, have to have help to walk to the bathroom.  This is something that  I wouldn't wish on anyone, I don't dislike anyone that bad.  LOL  I hope your friend doesn't have it but going to the support groups help you to know that you are not alone.
