Well, I'm taking a rather large leap down on the meds this weekend for my Fibro!

I've been doing well at this...so far! I have to say that the one thing I have not done in about 3 weeks now is exercise. 

Yes, I am an exercise hypocrite. Very bad and really I am noticing that my energy levels are down quite a bit. I used to survive on one small cup of coffee a day and now I find myself reaching for more caffeine which, as you probably know, isn't the best thing in the world for Fibromyalgia. 

SO, I am trying to slowly work back into more activity. 

As for the pain meds, here is the next progression. I'm going to be on 2/3rds of the original amount. IF that sounds "wimpy" and not a big deal, I'd want to know if you've ever been through withdrawal? 

I have. It's not fun. 

So, my approach is slow. This weekend I will make the drop of 40 mgs, instead of my former 20 mgs. The doctor told me to be ready for breakthrough pain, just in case. 

I feel very positive right now, in spite of some of the stress that's going on in my life. 

If you have any questions about Fibro meds, please ask them. If you want to know what I take specifically, I will share that too. 

For now, wish me luck and remember, eat the right foods (of course enjoy a treat once in a while), get rest, lower stress (as much as you can!) and exercise, even if it's just a walk up the block. You'd be amazed what it can do!

All my best dear Fibro friends, 
Mo M.
