Re: A question for everyone

[Guest guest]

I haven't been able to do housework for two years. The only thing I can do

occasionally is a load of clothes or the dishes if I'm having a good day. I

have constant pain that never goes away. If I try and do any kind of

activity it puts me in the bed for a week. Of course, I have back and neck

problems in addition to the fibro, so that may be why this is the case with

me.

with the housework that you are able to minimize the flares or

not have one at all?>

Kristy,

I'd have to say that the more I do, the more I seem to flare up. So

I guess it would come to follow that if I do a lot of housework I

seem to hurt more and for longer times. If I don't do too much, I

usually can keep the worst of the pain at bay.

Maybe we should all go on strike and not do anything - LOL

cleaner may add to the pain in my lower back, Im not sure yet, but its

a new pain.>

The worst thing to do for your back in vacuum, sweep or mop. Since I had my

back injury, my neurosurgeon will not let me do any of the above or lift

over 5lbs.
