I'm a 4 on the fibro scale, pretty achy and PMS too.
Goals today are dinner out (MIL's birthday), take dress back to tailor to get alterations done RIGHT this time, work on MIL's genealogy, plus one phone call and one email (my worst procrastinating is on phone calls and email).
Hubby had a hissy fit about something this morning. You know, when it's really their fault but they can't admit it and blame it on you or someone else? And it's something totally trivial like laundry? He used to do it a lot, but he hardly ever does it these days. He's regressing. I think he'll be glad when his mom goes back home to Florida tomorrow! he he

LS, just look hubby in the eyes. Don't say anything, just look at him, maybe even with a little smile on your face, and don't take your eyes off him. He won't be able to stand it. He'll pour his guts out.
Next thing you know, you'll both be rolling around in bed together....

I still feel icky, still a 4. My hands are really shaky today, like low blood sugar shaky, but I've eaten. Must be a new PMS symptom. And my back is just really achy and won't let up. Drat.

glad to know i'm not alone with the shakes. Yeah, it would be nice to hit some high numbers, but I seem pretty much in a groove from 4 to 5 to 6, with occasional 3's and 7's during a day but not for the whole day. Given the severity of my symptoms plus my age of onset, it's not likely to change much until they come out with some BETTER DRUGS!!! Fortunately, they have several in clinical trials currently. (Actually, I've been looking for better drugs ever since college, he he!)

well, keep shooting for those occasional 7s!
i hate to hear those sentences you said though. i am torn between musing whether they're pessimistic or realistic and i don't know which one i want them to be! 
i have to look at new research. i didn't realize they had new drugs being tested...

Hey LS,
Do you and MIL get along? My DIL and are are very close. She is like the daughter I never had. Whenever they come visit( they live far away) she cries when they have to leave. Even so, as much as I love them, I am still glad when I get the house back to myself. 
We all go through the "Husband Hissy Fit" thing. It will pass if you just ignore it.
Happy to say that I no longer have to worry about PMS, although, I certainly "feel you pain". It too shall pass.
The shaky hands thing is probably low blood sugar. What did you eat.....something to bring the sugar up??? I get that, too, and I hate the feeling. 
Hope your day gets better.

Hey, sweetie, those sentences DON'T apply to you!! Your age of onset is much earlier which means you have a much greater range of probable improvement and/or remission.
For me, they are simply realistic based on everything I've read. It doesn't get me down though because my life is very manageable at a 5. I enjoy life just fine, so don't you worry, okay?!

Hope you're feeling better. It could be that you haven't been able to rest enough where you have company there.
All husbands have Hissy FITS especially when THEY do something wrong! he he he!
Hope you get some much needed rest and are feeling better soon. Always check the boards every day to see how you're doing.
Hugs,
Pat

...but we ALL have big grins in our photos! Life can be enjoyable as long as you're above a 3, I've found!
PS. LauraSue, your Fibro scale is getting put on my new fridge door as soon as the darn thing arrives!  Simon gets very confued when I'm enjoying myself and then say, "God I ache"! he doesn't get that it's just part of life for me, the sweetie.

Oh, you sweetie pie, Jen! I thought I had scared YOU! As far as being realistic, I read a quote from George Will recently: "The good thing about being a pessimist is that you are always either proven right or pleasantly surprised!!" And as far as expecting too much, I have a friend who points out that, "An expectation is a premeditated resentment!" I also am a strong believer in clinical studies and research. I read extensively on fibro (kinda my full time job now), and that's basically what the studies show currently.
BTW, I'm coming up on the one-year anniversary of the day I was so sick I couldn't keep working, June 27, 2003. So I've got a lot of emotions coming up right now, anger, fear, sadness. It totally stinks sometimes. I want my health back, I want my career back, I want my life back!! But this IS my life now and as my signature quote says, I can either fight reality and end up suffering more, or accept that pain is inevitable in this life and just deal with it.
WOW, WAY too philosophical for this early in the day!!!! I'll get off my freakin' soapbox now. (I've always been this way -- "push a button, get a speech!!" Part of being a bossy big sister, I think!)
