Oh boy, naming one would be hard! I love my heated massage chair. I love soaking in my jacuzzi bath tub with added hemp infused salt bombs. Sometimes wrapping myself in my heating blanket and zoning on the couch with relaxing music (meditative for me). I have a membership for infared sauna time at local spa and love it if I can bring myself to drive there. It is only ten minutes from my house, but somedays that is even too much. I also like the salt cave at the spa as I find that meditative. My mantra is "Breathe in Peace; Breathe out pain.
I know alot of people have trouble with side affects of Lyrica/Pregablin, but i truly could not live without it. I also take Tramadol and Cyclobenzaprine as needed. Cyclobenzaprine at night and Tramadol if I am not driving anywhere that day. Most days I take 70mg of full spectrum CBD oil capsules. I prefer pure vermont full spectrum CBD capsules. You can order them online and ship to your house. I also use their CBD oil and have my massage therapist apply it when i go for my biweekly massages. My dog also takes the CBD dog biscuits. Chills him right out.
If all else fails, I take a 1/2 Indica marijuana gummy. It can really make me tired, so no driving then either!
If my costochondritis acts up, I wrap an extra large heating pad around my ribs. That is almost worse than the Fibromyalgia at times.
Managing this disease is, in and of itself, a full time job. People ask me what I do for work and I now respond "Treat my fibromyalgia."
I read my woman's Bible prayer 🙏🏾 for strength and some affirmations
Imagining having a great Margarita(even tho it's only water) and watching a good movie cuddled up in my lounger with a warm blanket. Maybe I should put salt on my water glass rim!
Ellen…she snuggles right up to me. And my drugs, of course 🤣
Heat. Always heat! Maybe a few Tylenol extra strength
