Stress of the day

So this morning started out pretty decent.  I felt good except for a kink the my back.  Something stressful happened at school and I am all knocks now.  Why does this happen? 

Stress, change, bad things are a part of life.  I've found it's best if I  let go of WHY it happened and foucs on HOW I am going to handle it.  That gives me the power back.  Then I chose whether or not it will affect the rest of my day or if I will let go and move on.  Sounds trite, but it really works.  Sometime you don't live one day at a time but one moment at a time.

Hugs

Thanks Deb.  I had to take a Flexril to go to bed last night and I doubled one of my meds this morning.  I felt better, but I decided to splurge and got myself a massage after work...ahhhhhhhh!  I schedule another on after I get paid later this month.  I then and did 1 hr and 30 of ligh****er exercises/toning...so nice!

The water does wonders, but I just can't fit in it in my schedule every day.  I get to go about 3xs a week, which I guess is better than nothing.

Oh-by the way, I am from north Arkansas....grew up b/t Norfork and Bull Shoals Lakes.  :)

I wish I could get massages... :-( but they hurt.. just being touched, poked or rubbed hurts so bad.  Fibro is horrible - I do have the patch upped to 50mcg but dang when will these patches really start to take the pain away.  These docs think I am nuts... I tell them I still have pain everyday and they just don't get it.  *SIGH*  I do swim and go in the hot tubs and they help but as soon as I get out of the water, here comes the pain.

Well, I promise you it was very light.  She got me a couple times and I was like..that hurt, ease up.  But the next day my physical therapist friends that rubs my shoulders once a week for about 15 minutes noticed a huge difference!

Sorry you hurt so bad that you can't get a massage.  I hope that after my surgery that it will help with the fibro too.  My rhemy thinks it will b/c she believes my fibro is directly related to RLS--less weight on the legs, the better they should rest and the better I should rest and the more my body will heal.

Hope you have a "better" day today.

glad you found releif!  I hope that losing weight will help.. it didn't with me.. it actually got worse.. I lost 200lbs and had no health issuesbefore... now after losing the weight I hurt ALL the time...
 
The hot tub helps me - my hubby will rub my back VERY softly while in the ho****er and it feels so good... but as soon as my body cools down I am in pain again.

Thanks for the kind words... I wish you the best!
