Hey Ruchie, I know how you feel. It is getting harder and harder for me to just get out of bed in the mornings. But I find it helpful to get up immediately and take a nice hot shower. Get dressed and do my hair somewhat. Then put my shoes on b/c it is harder to crawl back into bed w/ shoes on, especially laced shoes. I also feel better and less tired if I don't lay around in my PJs w/ my hair a mess. After you have completed the task of getting ready for the day take a 15 min rest sitting down then prepare a good breakfest for yourself. Breakfest is the most important meal of the day it helps give you energy for your day ahead. Then take another rest for 15-30 mins. Then try to just go out and sit on front porch to get some fresh air. And if you need to take pain management meds, then do it. There is no shame or failure in taking pain relief meds.
And maybe you can't get all the way through to going outside the first day, that's okay. Do baby steps until you feel better. My doc says exercise will actually help w/ the aches and Fibro. But he said you have to go real slow so as not to worsen the symptoms. So maybe the doggie park outing was just to long. Start out by just getting outside once a day and then move up to a small walk and then up to the doggie park.
My prayers our with you! Be strong and feel better. But most importantly listen to your body and take care of yourself. Christie
