Coping with Fibromyalgia During the Holiday Season
The challenges of living with fibromyalgia
Having fibromyalgia is indeed challenging, and it can make someone feel like they are the most fragile human being. It limits people’s activities due to the pain caused by the disease. However, little things like spending time with family and loved ones during holidays and special days are already a part of someone's bucket list and what more for the people with fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia itself must not be a hindrance regardless of how painful it will be because people only live once. While a year ends, the chances of experiencing different things will get fewer than ever so. If the body still can, then live like there’s no tomorrow but don’t overdo it. A healthy lifestyle, environment, and mind can beat fibromyalgia. Be positive and live life like every day is just the beginning.
