It’s stressful for me and so exhausting that I don’t travel much at all.

Wow @A MyFibroTeam Member, we have so much in common! I also enjoy the casino, although not poker, and I find it’s the only thing that completely takes my mind off being sick! No my husband is going to Vegas with his two sisters for the ones 70th birthday! They used to be very close when he was younger and she has been through hell the last ten years, to the point she tried to commit suicide two and a half years ago!! When she had nobody to go with, my husband said he would go because I pushed him to and now the other sister decided they can’t go without her! Lol. I am so happy for all of them and I truly wish I could go but I know I’d just slow them down and wouldn’t enjoy it. Years ago, we used to go at least once a year and I’ll bet it’s been at least twenty years since we’ve gone! We have a fairly big casino locally now so I just go once in awhile for a break but then I hurt terribly after but sometimes it’s just worth it. I’ll tell them about the bikers all being there though and I’ll bet they’ll see some beauty bikes!!!

Yes I find it very stressful and exhausting packing clothes especially as I have to pack for three of us .

Well I am not going but my husband is going to Vegas April 23rd and I’ve been going nuts for weeks trying to get him ready!! I finally finished buying him clothes, washing all his clothes, ironing and packing last night! It feels so fantastic to not have shit all over! Lol. My daughter goes back to work Monday and I am helping out with daycare for a few weeks so I figured I better get his stuff all done or I’d have no energy left at the end of my babysitting days! There is absolutely no way I could go on vacation right now, especially to a place like Vegas where you do so much walking! Now put me on a beach somewhere that I could relax and just get showered and dressed on my own time, would be absolutely incredible!!!!

Yes, I know the feeling. Recently we took a vacation / honeymoon that was long overdue. We were suppose to take it back on Dec. 2016, but lost our home 15 days after we got married on 12-10-16 Yes it was Christmas day to a house fire. Finally was able to go and I was stressing over going. My co-workers laughed and told me to try to make the best of my vacation.
We went to Mexico and flight was 2.5 hours long. I could barely sit due to severe pain. I felt horrible for my hubby. Although, he is a great support to my illness. I always feel like such a failure bcuz I'm a do-er and now i feel like I'm loser. I feel ashamed of my own self. I can do 25% of what I use to do. So traveling is an issue for me as well.
