Vactioning with fibromyalgia

I rarely vacation because of fibromyalgia. Whether I travel by car or plane I just seem to get unbelievably sick. Then I have to adjust to a hotel bed & all the walking that goes along with sight seeing. By the time I get home I need a vacation from my vacation. However, I work hard & I think it’s important to have time to relax & get away from my job. It’s not just a health thing. With the cost of gas so high a lot of people are just canceling their trips. Here are a few ideas that I’ve come up with on how to squeak out some vacation time:

  • Spend the money you would’ve spent on a vacation making your own backyard resort. Hang a hammock. You can even buy fire pits. This will be a retreat that you can enjoy long after a vacation would’ve faded from memory.
  • Spend time in your hometown as a tourist. Explore the places that you’ve always wanted to go to but have never had the time for.
  • Go to a concert. I always know about the big concerts that come to town but I was surprised when I looked up all of the acts that were coming to my state. A lot of my favorite smaller bands also made stops close by & the tickets were pretty cheap.

I know it’s tempting to just work through holidays, but it takes a toll in the end. Do you have any ideas on how to find vacation time with a busy work at home schedule?

    A very dear friend of mine suffers from fibromyalgia. She doesn’t talk about it much, but I know that it limits her activities and this can get her down quite a bit.
    Her solace has been her back yard. She has created this little oasis that is truly remarkable. It attracts a variety of wildlife that is truly thrilling to watch. Observing all the little critters that take refuge in her garden lets her step outside of herself for a while and I know that this brings her great relief.

    I have seen tremendous success in my office by adding to the diet botanicals that have a 5,000 year history with health.
    For more information please contact me.
    While nothing is 100%, after being in practice over 10 years, I have never seen the results with other nutritionals as I have with this. It may help you.
    Blessings,
    Dr. Tom
