My dear Fibro Friends....I always talk about exercise...

"Your mental and physical health is inseparable.  
You cannot work to strengthen one without having 
a positive effect on the other."  Napoleon Hill

I'm not sure I mentioned that I have endometriosis. As a matter of fact, there's a part of me that feels, and now it is documented "somewhere", that there is a clear connection between Fibro and Endo. O, those "o's" that we deal with!? 

Although I am going through perimenopause, the symptoms of my endo, seem to have worsened. According to my OB/Gyn, that IS normal, but HE....has never endured this. I find that my cramps, pain come days and sometime a week before my period...if I even get my period. Very unpredictable and upsetting BOTH physically and emotionally. 

Yesterday I WAS suffering. I held off on my exercise until the last possible moment. When I finally went, it took an act of God to get me moving. I walked and as I did, I began to feel better. I even tried to speed my walk up a bit. It worked! 

However, I want to say this, there is a flip side to this quote as well. 

When we, as Fibro friends, suffer a painful emotional experience or any kind of stress, it immediately affects our physical pain levels. My husband was unnerved about his lack of work lately. I, therefore, although I tried to maintain my outside "calm", was upset for him inside. This is not a fun time in life, but in Christ, I can maintain all of the peace that I need. Many of you know what I mean. However, seeing a loved one in any kind of emotional stress, has its effects. 

So, our friend, Napoleon Hill is correct, our physical and emotional well being both are closely intertwined. 

Please consider this as you go through your day today....especially YOU, who is ever strong in dealing with the pain of this invisible illness....FIBROMYALGIA. You ARE strong and you can feel better. 

Love to you...my dear Fibro friends....

Until later.......................

Blessings...........
