I am going to hurt tomorrow!!!

My mom has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia as well. She hasn't told me much about it. Is it hereditary? its a lot of inflamation of the joints right ?

its an inflamation in the muscles not joints, just feels like the joints it isn't directly inherited, but probably a tendency toward it is

I can't imagine what you go through every day. A close friend of mine has fibromyalgia and a a former home care client had is as well as lupis and OA and RA. She was a mess and cried all the time. The lupis finally took her from me.

I think you should keep yourself fit. Don't think too much tomorrow, today is fine is ok, you should enjoy it.

Valerie I bet you do a lot of lifting, I did when I had my clients and with my uncle. I can imagine how sore you are some days. With my ALS client I had constant back pain from all the lifting and moving her.

Yes, I do. Even though Kayla can walk and will go almost anywhere, there are of course the times she'll get stubborn and maybe not want to go where we want or need to go. When that happens she'll just plop herself right down in the floor, and when you try to get her up where she stiffens herself up to keep you from being able to get her up that really hurts the back.

I actually don't feel that bad this morning, my husband put up the last of the wood last night so I don't have to. I did however hurt my stomach where I had the surgery 3 weeks ago. I didn't even think about that while I was doing it, a little bleeding but I should be ok. I had a hot shower last night before bed and then I crashed hard for 8 hours. Next weekend we start on the gardens, we have been in our house a year and didn't do the gardens last year (we cleaned up a little but left the plants) so I could see what was here, this year we are gutting it so I expect to hurt then too. We aren't doing it this weekend because I am taking my husband and kids away, it's our 6 year wedding anniversary and our 10 year as a couple on the 14th.

Your crazy girl. Hand scrubbing carpets, I got rid of my carpets so I don't have that problem and then I borrow my moms carpet cleaner for the rugs and mats. I don't paint either that is my husband and my mother-in-law. I just tell them what color to paint and they do it. I like the hard labor stuff; laying hard wood floors, moving walls. I am a sucker for a hard job and never turn it away. My husband was upset when he got home last night and saw I did the wood because of my surgery. Oh well I got it done with little pain today and that is all that matters.

Yes the shoveling was horrible. I live on Vancouver Island now but I was in Alberta for 6 years and the shoveling was bad. My neighbor was a boy who liked his toys and he got an ATV with a plow attachment after our 2 year there so I didn't have to shovel much but when I did it was a lot of shoveling. We used to do the whole block because it was all older people except my husband, myself, and the neighbor and his girlfriend with the ATV. The fall was those darn poplars, those things where a pain in the butt, the white fluff the sticky pitch, the leaves, the off spring; I just all around hated those trees all year round and I had 6 on my land.
