I'm not coping

[Chez72]

Hi. I have many health issues alongside fibro, including OA, IA, Meralgia Parasthetica, RLS, Sciatica and more.

I struggle coping with the pain and can sleep no more than 2 hours without pain waking me.

I also have something causing weird memories that aren't real and recently this has escalated to hearing things and seeing things out of the corner of my eye which aren't there. Whether these are related to fibro fog or something else I don't know yet as I'm waiting for neurologist appt.

Last week my stick slipped on a pool of water in Morrisons disabled toilet and I fell hurting my knee and my back. I went home and assumed my fibro was making it worse than it really is.

I went to a&e on new years day and it appears I've damaged ligaments and am now waiting for the virtual fracture clinic to call me.

I'm really not sure how much more I can stand. My pain levels are through the roof now and thanks to fibro I'm feeling it everywhere.

Hi and a warm welcome to our community. Here you will find information support friendship and laughter too. You can find general information on fibromyalgia at our main website fmauk.org

The issues with memories that are not real, hearing/self things is not typical of fibro fog issues and hopefully you won't have to wait too long for appt

Unfortunately, when we get other injuries such as your ligament damage fibromyalgia can make the pain worse and healing can take longer.

It's ok, you're allowed not to cope. Who would with what your experiencing? This was a revelation to me when someone told me this. I hope it helps you too. On hopeless days I try to hold on to all the nice things I have in my life, even basic things like a working loo and running water. Some days I just need to cry and wallow and feel how awful this really is. Tomorrow is another day.
