I am still trying to master the management of my fibromyalgia. I will do really good for several days at a time and then my body will completely break down and I wil flare really badly. I am in a flare right now. Last week, I felt really good. It is bitterly cold today so that might be part of it.
I do try to stretch everyday and maybe do some very light exercising. I get up every morning at 4:30 AM to take my medication and then go back to bed and sleep until around 7:00 AM. The 2.5 hours that I have after medication and before I really need to be up really helps. taking the medications that early gives them time to work so that I am able to get ready for work without the nagging pain.
I also need to start eating better and I need better rest. I find that when I do sleep more than 4 hours at a time (which is rarely), I feel really good!
