[seren1970]

Does anyone feel like they are walking through quick sand that’s the only way I can explain my body is so heavy it’s horrible xx

Hi seren, yes I have this feeling too. My body feels so heavy, it is horrible. Im not even overweight, but it is an effort to lift my legs.

Take care of yourself

Hi, I totally understand the heavy feeling, sometimes it feels like someone has placed heavy weights on my shoulders, congratulations on your weight loss!!. People say "oh you will feel so much better if you lose weight", but I have also tried losing weight (12kg since November) and my body actually feels weaker and more exhausted. I still need to lose another 6kg to get out of the overweight category, maybe that little bit e extra may make all the difference !! (I can live in hope) sometimes I feel I have to sit down before I fall down.

Yes seren1970 my legs feel like this esp at night, for the past 4 weeks I havt had my weekly hydrotherapy which does help to keep my legs moving, I had a minor breast surgery that became infected and had to canx my session until mid May, I just cant wait to get back..The fatigue around the body comes with fibro flare ups, it will pass so dont push yourself just pace daily, do you work hun?

I use to be a hairdresser can’t do that anymore as I can’t stand all day I’m a companions or an elderly lady I will when I can go and see her we have a cuppa and chat xx

I know that feeling and sometimes that is the best way to describel it to people, it's very frustrating.

[gothicmum]

I get that too, but described it like wearing a heavy ovecoat and diving boots lol, but I like your description, do you get this when your fatigued or at the start and of the day gentle hugs 🙏 xx

[seren1970 in reply to gothicmum]

I think it’s when fatigued it’s such s hard illness to describe xx

[gothicmum]

Yes it is, no two days the same no two sufferers the same. I'm still trying to get to grips with it, but finding the support and advice on here helpful, I hope you have some better days gentle hugs 🙏 xx

[seren1970 in reply to gothicmum]
