Hug me. Gently.

When your body is screaming, it’s hard to focus on just getting through the motions of a given day. Sometimes you want nothing more than a big hug, but it just hurts too much. In those moments, it’s more important than ever to be patient with our bodies, and work WITH them to get our fibromyalgia and chronic pain symptoms under control.

Remember, the angrier and more stressed you are about it, the more you are creating a vicious cycle of pain flare-ups. Take a deep breath, accept that this is how it is for today, and be good to your body.
