Fibro and a hernia

[gail76]

Hi all ,

Hope everyone is doing as well as the can.

Today I feel so sad. I'm waiting to go in for a inguinal hernia operation in early September and dealing with have a chronic illness. Today I promised my kids a trip to the cinema and I'm in pain and so uncomfortable that I don't think I can go. I feel like I'm letting them down. I'm so frustrated! The doctor thinks my hernia is a result of the chronic IBS I have as a result of having fibro.

It the schools holidays here and all I can manage to do is my work from home and then I need to rest.

I am grateful that I'm not as ill as a lot of people on this site but I just miss the person I was before fibro.

Thanks for listening.

Hello gail76 sorry to hear your in pain with a hernia too! Do you have little ones that like to be picked up😲 it can be difficult to have the kids home form school holiday. I know you feel like your letting them down but there will be other days. Are your meds helping. I hope so. Sleep well.🌛 Chris

Thank you for being so lovely. My kids are 7 & 8 so I don't need to pick them up. They are very good most of the time. Hope are well too

7 and 8 even the well behaved ones with all that energy can still be a handful. I feel bad for the fibro sufferers with young children. My son was in his 20's when my fibro started fatigue first and needles and pins in legs and hands. It's worse now. Hope you feel better. Sweet dreams. Chris. xx
