Fibromyalgia: Beyond the Pain

The role of pushing through the pain

This is where pushing through pain, or at least having the will to try and push through the pain, can play a critical role in improving the quality of life for fibromyalgia patients. There will be days that pushing through the pain to do something, even shopping, will be impossible. There will be times that choosing joy and being grateful is so far off the radar that they are not even considered an option. There will be times that the pain will just be too much. That’s okay, it’s going to happen, but accepting the pain and recognizing the limitations that it may bring is also part of the strength needed to push through the pain to accomplish the things that need to get done.
