A year down the line of having to give up work, I still struggle. I had to make a telephone call to my gas and elec company yesterday 2 and half hours later sorting the new meters out, it was so stressful I nearly cried during the call as I had to bend down to check the gas meter a number of times, which was painful and go outside and check the electric meter which made me cold... I was a wreck after. Oh boy did it drain me it was so stressful. I couldnt believe how much it took out of me. I dont think anyone can understand how debilitating fibro can be unless you have it. I can only pace myself 3 hours a day roughly to do anything a day. Then its too much pain and fatigue. I read alot of the posts of the different things people do on here to get well. And I think Ive tried them all and they dont work for long for me. But hey I carry on trying Thank you for listening.
Good morning all :): A year down the... - Fibromyalgia Acti...
Good morning all :)
Sorry to read this took so long for you to sort out , I bet you were relived at the end of it all. It is disheartening when fibro takes over and leaves people limited to what they can do on a daily basis, you sound like you are doing your best and picking out essentials things to do, when I’m having an off day and find it hard too get started I aim sometimes too prepare the evening dinner , yesterday I actually sat at the table prepared the veg and did some extra for the next day, im always thinking ahead as husband does not cook☹️, then I sit have a hot drink the. perhaps tackle another essential task , sometimes I ve had 4 too 5 mini breaks just too tackle the ironing and get threw so I get where your coming from. You certaintly sound like you try each day and not give up, it’s good too come on the forum for a chat sometimes and we differently do need a listening ear , take care of yourself xx
Yes, im the same always doing something ahead of myself because i do nut like to be behind on things. And i too have prepped food at the table so i can sit down, plus deligate. I font think we can put in words how much it affects us
Hi there.
I can understand that feeling. I need to spread my legs like a giraffe to get down to my kitchen cupboards. It makes me feel a right fool!😉
It's a pain to be sure, but Fibro is a horror.
It takes a great deal out of your Spoon Count for the day.
Cheers, Midori
Omg this made me laugh I'm the same, contort myself just to get a bowl or something. I've told my son that he is going to help me gut the kitchen cupboards and reorganise them to make things easier to reach. I brought a stool on wheels and now whizz around the kitchen to get things I've forgotten whilst cooking. What a difference it makes for me.
Yes, i have done that too, as im a shorty and everything to my level as much as poss., also ladders. On bad days the lads have to get things from the top areas ready for me
Morning all
