The sun is just rising and I’ve been up for over an hour. It’s nice to be a morning person again AND I’ve been falling asleep earlier too, before midnight the last few nights.

Yesterday wasn’t the greatest day with the fibro.  I woke up early but once I took a shower mid morning the fatigue became overwhelming and I had to lie down.  I slept most of the afternoon because I ended up with a headache that just wouldn’t quit.  Sleep helped though and I watched some t.v. and went to bed early.

Today I feel much better.  No headache or fatigue like I felt yesterday.  The fatigue I get is not just being tired but the whole body.  My muscles ache and feel so heavy that a simple task like taking a shower takes all the energy that I have.

Since I’ve been getting up early in the morning I find that I have to lie down for a bit in the afternoon because that kind of fatigue hits.  Sometimes I fall asleep but other times it’s just lying down until the fatigue passes.  Plus by the afternoon the pain from the fibro has heightened and resting helps to bring it back down.

Here comes the sun now.  It’s time to enjoy the day.
