Constant nausea, lack of appetite, bloating and exhaustion

Gulfstream_Maggie profile image

I'm so "sick and tired" of feeling like this.Is this now normal life for me?

In the very least it's frustrating.

I just want to feel well and function like a normal person instead of feeling like a whinger and hypochondriac.

Is that so much to ask?

Morning , not a all it’s okay too have a rant and let it out for sure, we really need too sometimes , from November last year I was constantly picking up viral bugs and on top of fibro etc started too get abit low ☹️it only in the last month I’ve not caught anything as if fibro etc is not enough sometimes on a daily basis, I kept telling myself it wont be long till I can at least sit outside and feel the warmth of the Spring , just get some fresh air and that will differently lift me . It is frustrating I agree as sometimes I want too achieve more from my day , it’s hard isnt it too keep the focus sometimes 😩and feel well.xx ps Monday in Suffolk I sat on a chair and felt the warmth , today it’s Windy and cold, English weather 🤣

I know how you feel. I developed fibro 5 years ago. Constant nausea and have lost 1.7lbs in that time. Tired and in pain all the time. I used to winge but now I've learnt to keep quiet. Nobody understands. I smile and somehow push through it. But it's a fake smile. I think I'm stuck with this and Gp says learn to adapt to it. I'm sorry I dont have a answer to your dilemma but you are not alone. All the best.

I am masking a lot when I am outside.

I remember that I came to work once and just realised I need to go home cos feeling so sick. And one of my coworkers said “you are looking so great today” 😂😂

I absolutely agree Gulfstream_Maggie 😏! Im not even trying to feel great, I just want to feel ok. Like Toby14 I just suffer in silence 🤷. I don't have any answers, but I hear you and I can send a big (but gentle) hug x
