If you look in the archives, Ellen, you'll see that this was posted a
week or so ago and I added my $.02 worth at the time.  Yup, I'm
exhausted and I'm in pain but I would be exhausted and in pain no
matter what.   I'm not sure when my fibromyalgia reared it's head but
I've had at least one baby since then, although I wasn't officially
diagnosed until last year or so.

We all have limitations but I don't view  pain as a reason to just
stop doing things and I worry when people do allow their limitations
to be *so* limiting as to prevent them from trying.  Fibromyalgia is
no different, really.
