Can I get rid of this fibro thing?

[Camhanaich]

That's my question. I've not had it long, 2 years or so mebbe, however I'm tired of it, fed up of it, and, well couldn't be desra with it any more.

That probably sounds like a rant from a child, however its how I feel. Its like, you do actually get to a point where you don't wish the hear any more 'hypothesis' from someone in a white coat, as one thing tends to morph into another, then another etc and ... oh whatever.

I used to belong to the 'there's nothing wrong with you, man up and get on with it' mindset. I looked upon others (when I was younger) as weak, feel sorry for themselves individuals.

Maybe that was it, when your young, you really do think your fireproof.

Ok rant over. Seasonal felicitations one and all.

Hi

The pain if fibro is hard to cope with and made worse if you have other conditions too. Do you have a good Dr and also someone who would go with you to the Drs as an advocate? I really feel for you. I do hope you manage to have a good Christmas. Please take care of yourself Lynne

I think that we are all fed up with it if we are honest with ourselves.

Fibro puts a severe cramp in our lifestyles and stops us doing what we should be doing, or what we would like to be doing.

I intended to travel once I retired; but my body had other ideas!

I'm struggling to move house; the bungalow is there, all paid for, waiting for us, but can we get packed up? Can I hell! The place is a tip; since I had to give up driving, it has made it impossible to go to the local dump, and it looks as if I've been hoarding for years! My son is asthmatic, so he can't really help, and we are both starting to sink into depression, He has started to sleep during the day, and I'm frightened of a fall when he's asleep, so basically, I'm on a hiding to nowhere. We don't have any local friends to help, so we are basically stuck.

I don't know how you are doing for money, but most removal people will pack up for you. I even managed to get mine to unpack the kitchen stuff too. That, and having friends get me and my cats to our new home, was the only way I could make it work. (And, having the biggest garage in the world. Still filled with boxes after 18 months, but I'm here!!!)

Also, professionals know how to pack without creating the dust that could harm your son.

Just a thought.... dx

Thank you, but money is too tight.
