Fibromyalgia and Moving

Fibromyalgia is not quite helpful when you're trying to move. Today at two points I got to the fatigue level that was painful. I've had bright spots on my cheeks since mid afternoon, which is a good sign that  things in my body are not going well.

I plan to take some comfort items with me, pillows, a blanket, etc, tomorrow so that when I need to rest I can, vs having to rest in a painful position. Today I got the keys, utilities on, etc etc, and my dad started paint prep, with hubs helping him finish it up. Tomorrow I hope to clean and start spackling before dad arrives, have at least one room ready to go for paint. But I just can't push myself to do as much as I was able to in the past. This is a really hard thing for me, but I simply cannot work myself out of commission again this week, it will have consequences-pain, mostly, fatigue for days. I had to rest most of yesterday and the prior day because I guess I packed too much on Sunday. We got a lot accomplished, but the consequence of doing too much was two days' rest. Not good. I need to really be careful.

I did get my hip shots yesterday. The soreness is definitely still present, but the normal ache is mostly gone. It will be interesting to see how I am once the soreness wears off.

Muscle relaxer and bed, that is the rx for tonight!
