had a genuinely okay week. pain was sitting around 3, which i know isn’t great but felt like a vacation after 5-6 being baseline. did my PT, didn’t push, slept fine. then sunday morning woke up at a 7 and just stayed there.
no missed sessions, no obvious trigger. just crashed. which is infuriating because part of me kept thinking if i do this right, stay consistent, the good weeks will stick. but it’s like the body rewarded a good week by tanking.
or there’s a debt i didn’t know i was racking up. every time i ask my doc about this she says fibromyalgia doesn’t always have a reason, which is true but doesn’t help the part wanting to understand why. so here’s what i actually want to know. does pacing matter if you’re still gonna flare regardless?
are the good weeks worth it if this is the tax? or am i just not doing something right?
