This past week has been incredibly tough for me. I hav been in bed all week and the start of this week as well. I have had a real tough time, being able to manage my fibromyalgia, chronic nerve pain and that leads to insomnia!. the insomnia makes the pain worse, the pain makes it hard to lay down but all I want to do is, lay down but I am forced to get up and move. The tough part of managing this type of pain, is the vicious cycle, that I am enduring. We call this, “Flare Ups”. There is no real end in sight. No way to cure it and no way for me to help myself, other than ride it out. This summer, I went 40 days of constant insomnia and elevated pain. levels. To be exact I went 15 days, of a couple hours to none at ll. Chronic pain and Fibromyalgia, is a battle I’ve been.dealing with for 7 years now. Its not easy but its the life I have to live and I do my best to work through the really hard days and REALLY enjoy the good ones. Thankfully, I was placed on a medication called Lyrica. It changed my life from being in bed every other day to actually living. as difficult as these days, weeks are to handle, I would take this over the cancer life, I once lived. The thought of managing this type of pain with cancer pain, chemo pain, radiation pain and surgery pain, just scares me deeply. Taking one day at a time, that’s all I can do.
