To be honest, I haven't worked out since the Bikram class. Started to feel better Thursday but still exhausted. Friday I just started to feel sick. Not only fibro sick, but sick sick like my body was fighting off a cold or some other nasty virus.
I wonder if my fibro symptoms worsen when I am fighting off illness? Or if they heighten when I have actually caught the cold? It might be worth keeping track of. I know the symptoms get worse every time I'm on my moon, I get PMS insomnia which jacks up the pain and fog levels. I slept until 1pm today. In so many ways this was amazing. I caught up lots. But laying in bed that long made me feel really awful, and it still didn't feel like I had slept. I wish i could wake up feeling refreshed more often, but it hardly happens.
So I wait to start feeling better. I've still been moving, been going on long walks to get to and from destinations instead of taking the bus or train, because I know at least if I'm moving I'll fight off some of the worse of the fibro symptoms.
I also wonder if alcohol consumption is causing more trouble than it's worth. It's not that I drink a TON but I do like a good glass of wine. I've had drinks several times this week. So adding in the fact that I've just not been feeling well, I think adding alcohol into the mix might be making things even worse.
Hopefully I will feel well enough tomorrow to get in a swim. Real training has to start in just a few days and I need to be ready enough to trick my body into thinking it's just doing something a little bit more than normal. Easing into this is the best way, just have a road block now that I'm under the weather.
