Oh, absolutely, ((((((Tammy)))))),

I've had fibro for almost 18 years.

I react to the weather. I react to lack of sleep A LOT. I react to when I'm sick with something else. Like you, the stress is a BIG ONE, too.

I've learned over these past almost two decades, that when I'm in a bad flair, everything -- EVERYTHING -- else has to go by the wayside. Stay in bed. Have the pizza joints cook for me. No housework. No dishes. No laundry. No cooking. No socializing. No nothing. Sleep and rest and heal.

It's a heck of a way to live isn't it I wish this country had spent some of the money that it's wasted pimping weapons and producing wars instead on things like fibro and chronic fatigue syndrome -- those diseases that kill so much productivity in this country and (I think) are a real warning that the environment is seriously tanking in this country. I believe fibro and chronic fatigue sufferers are the early warning system.

It's hard to live with a disease that requires you to sleep so much. Hope you feel better SOON.
