Past we days I have felt totally exhausted, and very very tired. Just cannot find any middle ground at all. Today I have constantly felt sick, and so dizzy. Feel so down because I cant do what I use to do, and finding it very hard to deal with. Miss my old life and friends.

Hi Jan
Have to say I've been feeling exactly the same, apart from the feeling dizzy.
I miss the fun things my daughter and I used to do.
Been suffering big time today, and been sick.
All the usual pains as well.
My GP asked me yesterday what I was expecting from attending the Pain Clinic.
I felt like saying a Tiffany necklace would be nice. Is it just me, or was that a stupid question?!!
I want some pain relief. That's what I'm expecting.
Thinking of you
Hugs

Jan, you have my complete sympathy. I have been told that the pain etc I have been feeling is probably due to fybromyalgia but they have another test to do once I have been taking yet another type of pain killers for two weeks. I am seriously struggling at work, despite my boss having me on really light duties, but I can't afford to not work. The stress over all of this isn't helping and, like you, all I want is my old life back and to be able to do all the things I used to do. If you find an answer please repost as it would be a great help to find out what else I could try to help myself.
Hi janlou I've just started to come through exactly what you are going through, no energy at all, not able to sleep,even more than normal, feeling totally exhausted, in constant pain and nothing will help or even ease, dizzy to a point of passing out then shivery and very cold. I can't do a fraction of what I could a year ago, every frustrating. I really feel for you. Hang in there it may not be for long until you come through the other side. Get as much rest as you can where ever you can. Stick two fingers to the world and go at your own pace, life will just have to slow down and wait for you. Hope you feel better soon, just think this flare over can ease,. Take care x
Your own pace that is the only pace it is totally covered by its own criteria. Are very own fibro dot force it be gentle on your self. We are all here for you any time you need a chat. Take care. X gins
Hi jan
I'm so sorry things are so miserable for you right now and can understand the frustration and pain of missing 'the old life'. It is perfectly ok to grieve for your old life as you will find it should help you rebuild and create a new life 
From this day forth you shall praise yourself for every little achievement because you have achieved something 
even if all you've managed to do is shower and get dressed. Obviously with time your rewards will be for bigger and bigger acheivements. I find this method quite useful for boosting self morale and confidence especially during the difficult times and flare-ups 
I'm sending you lots and lots of fluffy cuddles to swathe yourself in
take care jan

That is an excellent method Zeb very usefull for us all and very positive. We all need a morale boost as well as our confidence which does slip sometimes. Those rotten flare ups have a lot to answer for just remember tomorrow is another day and we can cope with it. I know our "old life" was brilliant but we need to make sure our new one cuts the mustard. - good luck stay positive xgins
Thanks everyone for your replies, I was feeling fine on Monday, and I think I did 2 much, then Wednesday evening I felt full of cold and just could not be bothered......I felt proud on Monday because I did some jobs that I had not done for ages. I would love to go clothes shopping, but I get so tired I just want to go home. It was my birthday last week 47.....bloody feel like 97!!!! lol. I just find it difficult to pace myself. So today I am just resting and not doing much.
Oh the joys lol
