Just had ten days off work

[missunderstood1]

First few days had a sore throat (typical!) then started to feel less pained and sleepy. Didn't really do much as I can never be bothered during time away from work just taking it easy, I'm now day two back to work and can feel al my symptoms returning has anyone else had this happen to them? or does my body just not like work?!!! Does rest help your symptoms?

Hi misunderstood1

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? I am so sorry that this is happening to you, and I can't help but wonder if you suffer from stress at work? As I can imagine that stressful situations could have this effect on you and your Fibro?

Therefore I do not believe that you are allergic to work but you may have an aversion to the job that you are doing? I remember a similar post to yours a few months ago whereby somebody was on holiday and did not have any pains whatsoever, within a couple of days of being home their Fibro returned big time. Sadly I cannot remember who is was? If they read this can you please join in?

I genuinely do believe however, that rest and pacing ourselves is the key to out smarting the Fibro monster!

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

Hi Missunderstood, I hope you are soon feeling better. I know a few people who have had this horrible sore throat (not me thank goodness) I think probably just like me that you don't go off work until you are so sick that you are physically unable to do anything. I would probably work from home if they would let me! Rest does help but then you also need to start gradually increasing activity little by little - or at least this is my experience, since I am not a qualified medical practitioner and can only go on what works for me.

Thanks angel2! I forgot I had earache too went to Doctors also as was feeling shocking thought it was a side effect from the ads I was taking so told me to stop. Had fbc done but had no results as yet. Hope your feeling better x

Hi missunderstood1, I hope you are feeling as well as you can be at present. I feel I am much better when I am at home and can pace myself. Work is work and no matter how good they are it can be a chore. I love the work I do, but there are days when I just do not want to be there. I work part time so should not really be complaining at all
