The Fibromyalgia Experiment

I’ve always loved my birthday, because it’s all about me. I basically get to be a bridezilla once a year without having a wedding. Plus, there’s the presents. I don’t have an xbox 360 if anyone is wondering. This year I couldn’t think of anything that I wanted or anywhere I wanted to go. I didn’t feel good, my brain was foggy. I thought about just canceling the entire day & sleeping.

However, I had to do something because it was my birthday. It’s the principle of the thing. So, I drove around town, went to an art museum, ate lobster, shopped. I was exhausted, but I did have fun. So many times I tend to just cancel the special occasions whenever possible because I don’t have the energy for them. I can barely make it through my regular day without adding in extra celebrations. It’s sad that the celebrations are the parts of life that have to be cut when a person is chronically ill. I guess my point is that with fibromyalgia, you even have to work to have fun, but it’s worth it.
