A daily struggle

[Trishfish55]

This site is such a blessing to me. I'm so weary of weakness,struggling to breathe,feelings in my chest I can find no words for except gathered panic,being unable to make my legs go where I want them to,restless legs,sore skin,pain,itching so badly that I make my skin bleed and can't sleep because it's driving me crazy,falling asleep as soon as I sit down then crying with pain when I have to stand up,not having the strength to make food nor the energy to walk to the shop for whatever cheap tin of something I can afford ,the worsening arthritis in my hands and feet ..but the depression..oh,the low plateau of struggle...but your stories help me carry on.Thankyou.💖💖💖

Take heart all things shall pass. Anitripteline is not the only drug that can help ask to trial another that you may tolerate better. Suggest you find support at a group so you feel less alone in your town with Fibro. Getting out daily is vital your home can become a prison. Try getting ready meals either delivered or from frozen/chilled areas. Not eating healthy will not help pain really. Truely if you feel very low then get back to GP and tell them. We are not professionals on this site. Keep smiling or just watch some good comedy on TV!

healthunlocked.com/fibromya..., hello there , yes it does help when we can be part of a group ,reading experiences, realating with each other how fibro effects us on a daily basis. I agree with skit book into see your GP and get some help with this pain and cream to help itching is horrid, I find my legs get dry and have e45 cream , I try and uncover my legs in doors when possible as keeping layers on when it’s been colder drys my skin out. Are there any groups where you live that have regular coffee mornings where people meet up for a chat over a cuppa and a biscuit. Many churches do a lot for the community as well and run lots of different things. I have posted a link if you would like to lock your posts as only our community can see. Take care xx

Hi there

I find that this site is a blessing in disguise and a comfort blanket when you feel down and at your wits end ... everyone will give you different advice but everyone will also make you feel better as we all in the same situation as you ..

Take care of yourself and chat away as often as you feel ... even mail people if you want a pen friend or that .... it entirely up to you ..

Big hugs xx
