The sleeping is a problem but sometimes I drink a couple glasses of wine or rum is fine anytime of year and takes the pain away temporarily. Not to become accustom to drinking but now and then it works. It’s good to have a partner or family member or friend that can read the symptons of Fibro and that’s important having someone who understands what you are going through for support when you need to vent a little. But you can’t moan and groan too much it drives people away from you. I guess we just have to not smoke, eat healthy and have faith that there are sometimes spells when you have relief Not everyone can be so lucky as me to have a undrstanding partner. It’s something you just have to learn to deal with, but definitely mild excercise rather than taking medication which wrecks havoc with your kidneys and causes bowel problems is part of the answer. There doesn’t seem to be a cure. It certainly messes your mind up but if you can joke about it that helps also. Just remember, laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone. I always recall that saying when I have a pity party with myself. Good luck and keep the faith. JM pardon any spelling errors as I am visually impared.
