Why does fibro symptoms get worse when you least expect it

[Colegg]

I went out yesterday with my sister/career to see my family at a local pub for a short while as too much tires me out and I can't sit down for long I was only there an hour and in the middle of the room I go flat on my face no use in my legs and cramp right up into my ribs it just makes me want to hide am I the only 1 that feels like this I only go somewhere when someone is around as I am told not to be on my own but then I fall and feel so embarrassed I hate this

Hi Colegg

Firstly, can I say how sorry I am that you are suffering in this way and I sincerely hope that you can find some resolution to your issues.

I think that as we are all unique individuals that we all respond differently to our symptoms and our medications. I would say however, if your illness is getting the better of you in this way that I would return to my GP or Consultant and see what else can be given in the way of medication or possibly physiotherapy if you feel up to this?

If you feel that there could be some element of depression or anxiety accompanying this, then you could ask about counselling? As I do not know you it is difficult to say but I truly believe from the bottom of my heart that nobody should just hide away and be alone, you deserve substantially more than this.

There is one aspect of this that I am certain about and that is you should never feel embarrassed by your illness as it is a real and genuine disability. If you had a friend with a disability you would never expect them to feel embarrassed by this would you? Please take care and I sincerely hope that you can find some answers to this problem.

All my hopes and dreams fro you.
