I'm feeling pretty low right now. I'm hurtin' and I'm depressed. I'm in a tired cycle cuz of this and fibromyalgia. I'm waiting to get enbrel, which I hope will help turn my life around.

That's my main problem. I have no life. This pain dicates all. And the weather dictates the level of pain. I live on the west coast of Canada. The wet coast. The weather for the last month or two has been teasing me with glimpses of lovely hot, then rain. back and forth. I'm going nuts from the pain and my inability to get on top of it.

I sleep too much, and I never feel rested. I spend so much time alone. I've just come to terms with the fact that I have to kibosh my friend Ang - my last best friend to go. She doesn't seem to want to hang with me, and it breaks my heart so I can;t make the effort anymore.

That was whingy, but I had to get it off my chest. I was wondering if anyone has any helpful tricks to getting out of bed?
