After my meltdown on Friday, I sent this on to my

husband's email. He read it on Saturday, and he said

that now he understands more of what I go through with

FM. He let me sleep in, and took care of the horses

and chickens so that I could rest more. I have to

remember that he is also affected by my RA/FM, not

directly, but indirectly which can cause him to over

react at times. I am feeling a bit better today

because of it. He was good with the RA from emails I

had sent him, so I figured this FM email was important

for him to read. It was a wake-up call for him that

it's not just the RA anymore, but FM too kicking my

butt. Thanks so much for sending this on to us -

Kathe,

I'm glad the article helped your husband understand what you go

through on

a daily basis. Getting enough sleep can be challenging for someone

with FM.

Your husband is a sweetie for helping you.

Are you still able to ride?

Hi a:

He is a good guy, and 99% of the time is very

understanding and helpful. We all have our days, and

that was one of his.

As far as riding is concerned, I have not been able to

ride for over a month, but with the Prednisone working

its magic, I am anxious to ride again and hope to do

so with my best friend in a day or two. Have to work

around her work schedule - we used to ride every day

together when we first met 12 years ago - those were

the good old days!

I am able to get around so much better now,

combination of the antibiotics finally geting the

infections cleared up, being back on Enbrel, and the

Pred. I am only on 5mg. a day but it sure helps. I

know I will have more pain again when I stop taking

it, but am enjoying how I am feeling now.

Kathe,

Mine is great 99% of the time too. I guess we'll have to let them

slide on that

other 1% LOL! They get tired and cranky too.

So glad you are still riding. Hopefully you'll continue for a very

long time.

It's so nice to have a friend to ride with. Maybe one day they will

come out

with a drug that works like prednisone and has no side effects and

we'll all

be out running, riding and dancing again. Enjoy feeling good while

you can.
