Hi Angie, i get this all of the time, standing up for too long makes my legs feel like jelly, doing simple tasks takes ages now for example washing the pots, i need to sit down for about 15mins after standing for around 3mins so it can take me over 1 hour to wash the pots LOL, sombody on this site gave me a great peice of advice, they mentiond about getting a tall stool or somthing similar to sit on or lean against so the task becomes easyer to do, i am now looking for a tall stool so i will be able to manage to do more.

Hope this helps with you problem, Keep your chin up

Hi i'm new to this site and have been suffering with sever Fibro for a year but consultant says i've probably had it for 16 years as it was thought it was osteoarthritis.

I think you need to go and buy a dish washer lol, i struggle to stand for more than 5 mins so when i have to wash cooking pots its a killer

Even emptying the dish washer hurts having to bend and put them in or out but not as bad as doing all the dishes in a sink i'll think of you now when i'm doing dishes.

besy wishes carol x

That does work to a degree but if you suffer back pain or spasms anything is useless.

I know how you feel, when I get up in morning or when I lay down for a period of time to watch t.v in evenings and get up again I feel like my legs are going to go from me. Sometimes there is pain in my legs and lower back but not always the case. I also have been finding it hard to peel potatoes I'm doing it but with difficulty I keep dropping the potato so frustrating, when hubbie is home he peels the veg it's easier. I cannot lift heavy pots either. I also find having a bath absolutely wears me out so try to have one before bed as our shower is broken at the moment, even though a bath is good for pain relief.
