Today

[Maddie21]

Hi all,

Sorry to be a negative Nelly but shattered today. Done bare minimum at work and my brain is not working great. Struggling to make actual sentences and just want to sleep.

Finish work at 5pm and definitely having a nap when I get home.

Hope you are all ok x

Hello Maddie hope your feeling a bit better today. I suffer with terrible fatigue my sleep is very up and down and even when I do sleep I feel shocking the following morning really quite poorly which gets me down as I can’t do what I want to do! It’s an awful condition to have. X

Hi Sjb47 I am worried to see you ‘can’t do what you want to do’

If you’re still fighting this dratted illness no wonder you’re fatigued. Bad days= time off days. You feeling comfortable inside your own skin is far more important than completing a list of chores.

This is a bad habit we all share that got us to Fibro in the first place. Doing too much! Yeah?

On a flare up-

Get out of it.

On the bed - total rest . No visitors no noise - cherish yourself.

You’re worth more than chores! Those who love you will understand if you just say- it was more than I could cope with.

Best of luck Courage and strength.

Thank you ☺️... I’ve struggled the past couple of years I’m just at the end of a divorce and a house move it’s taken a massive toll on me and the fibromyalgia which has become a lot worse but I’m hopeful things in my life will start to change xx

Hi there, I hope this weekend you take time out too rest, hope it warms up and you can chill in the garden with a cuppa and just be lazy, after my week that’s what I’m gonna do, my battery needs to be put on recharge xx

Thank you all for your comments, my fatigue is a little better today. Going to try and rest where I can this weekend, I have hoovering and some errands to do but other than that its just NVQ and rest.

Don't apologise for feeling shattered. We all know what you mean. When you get home, just rest. Look after yourself.
