Another day in bed!

[mcglada0]

Just had a couple of really nice days out. I actually felt pretty normal although I was exhausted by tea time. However, as always it’s caught up with me. I was in so much pain last night and have had to go back to bed today and sleep. Why can’t we get a little respite? We either have to do nothing in order to feel semi human or live normally for a day or two and crash! Sorry - just feeling a bit sorry for myself and wanted to give vent. I hope everyone here is having as good a day as possible.

Hi sorry you feel like h**l (edited by admin) , fibromyalgia has that side to it doesn’t it when it just catches up on us and reaps it’s revenge whenever it fancies!! I hope you feel better soon

Thank you. Yes it is quite unrelenting but I suppose it makes us appreciate good days in a way that it never did before this horrible illness took hold. I hope you are having a good day. X

[Hidden in reply to mcglada0]

That’s very true, we perhaps never appreciated them like we should have done. I am doing ok my legs are giving me pain today and my back so I am just trying to get comfortable which is a bit of a mission right now

[mcglada0 in reply to Hidden]

I do hope your pain eases soon. It really drags us down. I’m finding that it’s the fatigue that now comes with the pain that is hard to handle. My husband doesn’t understand why I feel guilty but it’s continually letting people down and at times like this not being able to do the simplest of tasks. Never mind, I’ll bounce back in a few days for a day or two. Take care . Xx

the fatigue can be just as terrible, a vicious circle. I end up going for naps at the weekends so I can save my energy for work during the week. Don’t feel guilty I am sure your husband never wants you to feel like that, it is so frustrating when we cannot do the simple things, but that’s what family are there for. To help us in times of need

Thank you for your kind, reassuring words. X

Hugs, and totally understand.... Had a busy day yesterday and spent all night in agony.... And today in bed. Annoyed at having to cancel plans for today.... But also know if I'd pushed myself to go out today, I would have ended up in a flare during the week xxx

[mcglada0 in reply to Hazel_Angelstar]

I’m sorry that you are also going through pain and fatigue because you were busy yesterday. You’re right , we have to plan ahead and if we have to cancel so that we can function then so be it. I hope that you feel a lot better tomorrow. Unfortunately I usually take several days to get back on my feet but 🤞 . Xx

Hope you are back on your feet sooner rather than later.

Oh b****y h**l (edited by admin) Hazel sounds like a tough weekend for many, sorry you had to cancel plans for today it’s so disheartening isn’t it? I hope you too feel better soon x

Yep that fibro sprite sitting on your shoulder always wants payback x 2 for any day we enjoy ourselves but sometimes it's worth it. Hopefully you will be back firing on all cylinders soon.

[mcglada0 in reply to Dinkie]

Thanks for your reply. We all know just how fibro works and I totally agree that sometimes it’s worth the pain and fatigue in order to feel normal for a day or two. Hopefully this flare won’t take long to calm down again. Xx

I know that feeling! Do something fun and pay for it over the next week!

[mcglada0 in reply to Midori]

I feel so bad today! Nauseous, headache and aching all over! Yes I’m paying for it this week. What do we do? Stop living or take these horrible consequences! Thanks for replying and I hope that you are having a good day.
