There are times that I forget (or deny) that I have Fibro and do stupid things.
For example: Going in a cold air-conditioned room without a sweater, seeing a movie in the park on a late summer/early Fall night and moving large pieces of furniture by myself.
To remedy my goofups, I use heat or ice for pain. sometimes I do both (ie: icy hot). I will explain when I use each to help somebody else.
Cold
Heat
