Mine too, @lizardlady ... I'll be thinkin' 'boutcha extra hard and keeping pfroggy pfingers & toes crossed!

The anxiety is quite understandable, but I think you're doing the right thing about repeating no pfever no covid!

As long as there's no pfever and you can still get in a good gulp of air, it's most likely allergies.

It is scary though, for sure!

I'm a little concerned about the people I rent from.

They're going out into the public just about every day.

For silly stuff too, like take-out and non-essentials.

Of course, maybe with all the stress of this they feel that is essential.

I wish they'd be a little more careful though.

Here's hoping none of us get that covid crap!

In more good news, I'm confident the respiratory stuff I have going on is allergies. I still feel like crap on a cracker, but less so. Allergy and asthma meds are helping. Christina, it helped when you told me your daughter is struggling with allergies.

Spring weather came w-a-y early this year. Stuff is blooming now that doesn't usually bloom until May. Allergies suck, but it beats h e l l out of Covid!

Our Governor announced a shelter-in-place order for the whole state yesterday evening!

This morning our University president sent a memo out that online instruction for students will continue through the Summer Semester!

Employees will continue to work from home until the Fall Semester!

Aw gawd, here we go again. Woke up not feeling well. Things have gotten worse as the day goes on... body aches, chills, can't stay awake. I plain old feel like crap. I'm telling myself it's allergies again. I had the widows open the last couple of days. Pollen count is through the roof. I don't have a temp. I'm telling myself not to freak, but have no energy to talk myself down.

I'm sick if this shyte and myself.

Liz are you checking your temp? If not do it at least twice a day. Are you staying hydrated ? Drink until your teeth are floating..Do you have any allergy meds? I Take claritin daily. I want my windows open but the poillen is just too high. Do you have a friend you can call for help if need be?

Drink warm fluids..

I know its hard not to think the worst get s much rest as you can

Thanks Christina. Yep, taking my temp. So far it's normal or below. I closed my windows and loaded up on allergy & asthma meds. Back to feeling "normal." I would love to have the windows open, but learned my lesson. Gonna keep 'em closed.

Sorry, for the minor freak out. Have been on an emotional roller coaster the last couple of days.

Just stopping by to say howdy and ask how everyone is.

I'm feeling a little stir crazy but still maintaining a semblance of normalcy so far.

Once things settle back down and we start making our way back out there on a regular basis again ...

It sure is going to be interesting to see what the new normal is.

Stay Safe Pfibro Pfriends!

Emotionally I'm on a wild roller coaster. I had a meltdown yesterday reading an article of what it's like in a NJ hospital from a nurse's perspective. I had tears running down my face reading it.

I'm getting stir crazy from being at home. It's ironic. For years I've talked about how I love living by myself in the boonies. Talked about pulling up to my gate after work and being so happy I don't have to talk to or look at another human being until the next morning. Now my safe haven feels more like a prison. I remind myself that I have 10 acres I can go outside and play on while people in the city are trapped indoors. When I'm feeling squirrely I really don't care.

I have a fibro question for the group. When I'm at work I'm at my desk at times, but I'm also up walking around at times. Working from home I'm parked on my butt at my desk. I'm trying to get up and move around every 30-60 minutes, but I'm flaring. Any suggestions?

Hi Liz I totally get craving the peace but then it making you feel like you are going stir crazy.

Not sure I know why you are flaring other then stress can do it. The isolation the uncertainty of things the emotions those can all be triggers.

My lupus currently is really bad I am having to do breathing treatments every few hours then my heart racings it’s a never ending cycle. Both of my kids have been laid off and are home and that’s driving me nuts and it’s driving the cats nuts 🤣🤣 the cats really miss the quite.

Hubby is still working. He is an electrician and is working at a hospital so I am trying to stay away from him so that means I am sleeping on the couch. It’s fine because my sleep pattern is way off.

I really can’t wait for this to be over with but I think every governor should be on the same page and doing the samething and they are not. It’s frustrating

Take care every sending gentle hugs to all

Cake

Im glad your feeling better Liz Im feeling stuck and I also have land I can go wander on, but its Pollen hell here so I stay indoors unless Im taking the dogs to the pasture and I have been wearing a mask to do so. Before I bring the dogs back in I have a damp towel I rub over them, the pasture is beautiful with wild flowers but that damn pollen.

Can you schedule into your work day " breaks" set an alarm for every hour and get up and move around? Maybe step outside for a few, or sweep a room, throw clothes in the washer??? anything that gets you up and on your feet for 5-10 mins? I often pace around my house while I'm watching a youtube video on my phone.

My Fibro is roaring really loud I think for me its just anxiety driven, I'm always reminding myself my shoulders should not be hunched up and touching my ears .. *sigh*

Cake Hiya ! Im sorry your having a hard time But Im very happy to see you

Pfrog Take care of yourself

Cake, I'm with Christina, sorry you are struggling but delighted to see you.

Ironically I stumbled across an article yesterday about stretches you can do to help with stiffness caused by sitting at your desk. I'm going to start doing them. I walked to my mailbox yesterday (1/4 mile from the house). Got to multitask doing it - mailed letters to clients, got some exercise and am trying to teach the dog some manners walking on a leash.

Hadn't thought of setting an alarm to tell myself to get up and move around. Good idea. I have been getting up doing things. I need to start doing it more often.

Christina, you hit on an important point. We are all under a ton of stress right now. That makes fibro worse.

With the man in the White House pushing the use of chloroquine, are any of you having trouble getting yours?

Liz thats great that you found stretches that help with Fibro, My Rhuemy asked me first visit if I know how to do stretching.. I was like yes ? Well No I was stretching incorrectly, he showed me the steps to stretch each limb in order to get the best results.. It really helped alot, not all the time but I noticed the difference.

Ahhh your Mail box is 1/4 mile away too??? I normally walk up to get the mail but all this constant rain for months has washed out my driveway so its always a lake, when we have a few dry days its a mud hole any pig would love to call home... We have a spring that runs across our property so walking through it to get up to the mailbox is no fun and rattle snakes and copper heads are having babies right now and my husband hasnt gone out bush hogging this year yet, so Im not wading thru all that unable to see the ground...

This is when I really miss my horses, I loved riding up to get my mail any day I could.. My saddlemare loved stomping around in mud she just loved it

We really need to have more churt brought in to fix our driveway over the years its just gone away.. but hell it would cost close to 800 dollars 2 old broke ill people on SSDI cant afford that kind stuff, so I drive to the mail box..

Fibromyalgia Check-In Thread #5 ...

Hoping everybody's day isn't quite that bad today, but I'm certain we've all been there - and will be again!

I don't know what's blooming right now, but I've sneezed enough the last 3 days to power a windmill!

About that moving around, I make myself get up at least twice an hour to stretch and putter.

I made the mistake of puttering a little to far Wednesday afternoon and am paying the price for that one!

Severe weather prognosticated for the weekend so I'm right certain that'll ramp the pain up a bit as well - DAMMIT!

In the meantime, here's to Pfriday ... May it be a good 'un!
