i also have fibro, and i sew for an hour and take a break..
pacing myself has been the hardest part of my life. i used to be a type A personality..i have learned that no matter how bad i want to get things done..i have to stop and relax..
i have literally put big stones in my garden,split it up visually, and I do not go past the stone/rock. NO matter how good i feel. life is to short to put myself in pain and bed for a few days..
the spring is the hardest..you just want to get in there and touch the dirt and plants.
although when i am sewing, the tv is on, and it is basicly just noise..i use it to pace myslf. 1 hour/show, then break..cup of tea,check emails, stretch. use a timer, clipped to your shirt. ( i am not allowed to cook when no one else is home, unless i clip the times to myself)
blessings my dear quilty friend..
