Lynne, I couldn't have described it better, that's exactly how I feel all the time. My Dr. wants me to go to a pain management clinic now but I have been that route before and it didn't do me any good. I had the physical therapy, the steriod injections, and the croidal(?) blocks to block the nerve from sending messages to the brain and none of it helped. I have been on pain medicines before and they helped alot but am afraid I will become dependent on them so I try to tolerate the pain as much as I can. I have a massaging heat pad that helps but I think the real key is, at least for me,is to do a little and rest then do a little more and rest.It's not easy. I,like you, on my good days want to do as much as possible because as you said, you never know when you'll feel like doing it again. I have a supporting and understanding family but no one knows unless they have FM just how dibilitating it can be. Just put your faith in God and ask him for help, I think he's the only one who can. God bless you and I'll remember you (and all FM sufferers) in my prayers. Hopefully there will be more good days for us than bad. Barb, Indianapolis,In.
