Hi everyone am new on here but have had fibro for almost 10 yrs now. It wasnt to painful (looking back now) compared to how iv been these last few years!! My knee pops out all time an knee swings out to the side and bends upwards which is very painfull and very hard to get ur brain to come to terms with as mentally you are telling urself to bend normal but the leg keeps goin upwards lol!! Anyhow at the minute im in chronic pain an i dont have the strength to get up these mornings.....i feel as though people think im lazy and im not i just fall asleep all time. i have even been chattin to friends an family on FB when i fall asleep sitting mid sentence (i can laugh at it now) but at the time i got so down.
Im actually very interested in chatting to all of you as i see some of you have memory loss....i have got into my car and drive down road an not have a clue where im going i have to take piece of paper and sellotape to the steering wheel where i am going, its really that bad but i didnt know it was related to my fibro.
Please everyone i wud luv to hear from all of you who cud help or support me in any way possible.
Hope my rant wasnt too bad lol xx

My pain wasnt so bad for bout 6 months but this lapse is the worst yet and like you said it has hit me like a tsunami. yea when my pains are at bay i have a big hit of energy i cud tear the house down and rebuild it but when im at worst the very thought of cleaning and ironing etc wud make me sleepy lol xx Thanx for taking the time to write to me and compareing our notes .

Welcome to the foggy-fibro club, Sonyam! It takes all of the strength I have not to have a snooze at work most days, and I have regularly driven past my turning because I've forgotten where I'm supposed to be going!

I hope you havent missed your turning this morning lol and thanx for taking the time to message me SootyB xx Look forward to hearing from you soon xx

Hello
Nice to meet you, fibro fog sucks forget what you were saying half way
Talking to people, and what's worse is what comes out of your mouth
Does not have any thing to do with the conversation and every one stops
Talking to look at you
Yes I some times have these energy spurts, not often, and then
Pay for it the next day.
You will find lots of very nice people on here and every one helps
Each other, I am so pleased I found this site it's helped me lots
I don't have the problem with falling asleep, as I never seem to be
Hiya Viv...thanx for taking the time to message me thats very kind of you. Yes anyone i have spoke too has been very nice and very helpfull.

I only joined last night so I'm a newbie too Was just thinking I should write something to say hello properly. I had to replace my car recently and I now have a bright green one so I can find it easier when I forget where I park!
A patient of mine said that her daughter has a novel way of finding her car - she ties a bright red thong to the aerial, and then she can spot it a mile off!
I've found the lime green paint is mostly very successful, except when someone else who drives an identical car to mine, keeps parking next to me at the supermarket.
Hiya Belinda....you must have joined the same day as me. thats a good idea only i cudnt afford another car so my friends who went on holidays brought me back bright wee things to stick on top of the aerial on my car so when i come outside i look for bright wee pink thing in the air if i didnt have these things id be walkin round carpark all day lol xx Its nice to meet another newbie Belinda hope we stay in touch xx take good care and i hope you arent in too much pain xx
Hiya Moffy ...lol thanx for letting me join you xx

Welcome to the site rest assured you've found a place where people can empathise and sympathise with every thing your going through. We all have periods of intense pain the ability to fall asleep where we stand, periods of sleep deprivation, low moods, brain fog, jerky body movements, falls, trips, pj only days and days where we look and feel relatively normal and therfore are looked upon as malingers or hyprochondriacs.
This site is a little haven where we can escape from our pain & frustration and share life experiences, vent about the harsh realities & unfairness of living with fibro, share advice and tips on treatments and pain management techniques, learn about any advances in research and treatment, make friends, debate current issues, and just enjoy a bit of craic and banter.
I hope you find your time here productive supportive and fun
