Fibromyalgia is a tough thing to deal with and even though these past few weeks have been very tough and I am flaring very badly, I always manage to find something to laugh at.
This morning while I was getting my daughter ready for school I went through every cupboard in the house looking for something to put her cereal in just because I didn't want to wash a bowl. Migraines make me stupid lazy. :) So what do I do? I put it in a coffee mug and put bowls on the shopping list. Hehehe lazy at its best!
I muddled through a few hours of work but between the migraine and the ADOSSD (attention deficit, Oh something shiny!! disorder) I didn't get nearly as much done as I normally do. But then again, my heart is no longer in my work there. The stress and disorganization, among other things have been getting to me and triggering my flare ups. Taking 3 classes towards my degree isn't helping either but it's only 5 weeks - Army basic was 10 weeks so I can suck it up. (Hey now, I know I didn't have issues with Fibromyalgia then but it was still hard!)
Finding little things, like that pain chart, that make me laugh goes a long way to helping me manage. It's even better when I can find a way to laugh at my situation because it helps me to look at the situation in another way and it loses it's Boogyman status.
Laughter really is the best medicine. So laugh! Even if those around you arnt "in on the joke" sometimes we just have to do what makes us happy! So find a picture, a YouTube movie, or a comedian that you enjoy AND LAUGH!!
Be Happy, Be Healthy!!
Love, Rachel
