So for the last few days I have been enjoying a respite from fibromyalgia pain. The weather has been lovely and sunny and the warmth has permeated my being and soothed a lot of muscle pain.
I have been decluttering our home and making extra meals to freeze for later on. It has been a novelty and a joy to have spoons to do it.
Aware that it can bring on a flare if I do too much, I have been pacing myself. I do 15 minutes sessions of decluttering with a rest in between. With cooking, I do about half an hour of food prep then take a rest as well.
I am enjoying my new dishwasher too. It certainly makes keeping up with the dishes and keeping my kitchen tidier easier. And that I find, encourages me to cook.
I really don't know how long this respite will last, but I'm grateful each day that I have absence from pain and fatigue.
Until you have a respite, you don't realise how challenging your life is. So for the moment, however brief it may be, I will be making the most of my spoons.
I'm so glad you have relief from fibromyalgia pain. (FYI, IMM asks for only 2 posts to be added to their site)
