It's my Birthday and I'll cry if I want to...

[peppersoo]

I just want to cry..... I had a couple of good days last week where I felt normal, but then after the activity this weekend - Shopping Friday, Son's engagement party Saturday, lunch with other son on Sunday. I woke up this morning feeling like i'd rather stay in bed all day. It's my B'day today and my girls took me out for a meal. I drove to the venue and by the time I'd sat down I didn't even fancy anything and it was my favorite restuarant. I picked at my meal and then one of them asked me to pop into Tesco on the way home....I knew that was a mistake, she loves to look at everythng. I'm now curled up on the setee, wrapped in a blanket, feeling like i've been hit with a sledge hammer. I could tell you where I didn't ache if I could find somewhere. I feel so sick I can barely manage water and I'm so tired that if I get to 10pm it will be a miracle. I think this is the worse flare up I've ever had but have also done the most in three days that I've done all year. Am I paying the price? Nice birthday eh....I live alone so no one to feel sorry for me either boo hoo.

Oh Bless, Happy Birthday to you. Its a pity your girls could not stay with you tonight.

Celebrate the fact that you have had 3 good days last week.

we all know we will pay for it when we have had good days. Now be kind and gentle to yourself and rest and more rest in the knowledge that you will have good days again and when the bad days strike don't punish yourself.

Gentle Birthday ((((((Hugs)))))

We live in the past so when we have a good day we think wayhay I feel like me again only to be dashed down again but guess what. You cant keep a good girl down. As they say BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, GOT THE TEE-SHIRT. We all know how you feel so be gentle with yourself xxx

Warmest wishes hun for your birthday and I am sorry you feel so bad, but you have had such a busy weekend, not a good thing for fibro. I do not go anywhere on my birthday, everyone comes to me as I refuse to feel bad on that day. Xmas day is hectic enough and leaves me exhausted, but it gives me 4 days to recover before I have a houseful again to help me celebrate my 48th lol. I hope you have a decent evening and get some much needed rest xxxxx

Oh you poor dear Pepper! Happy Birthday to you! I suppose what you will have to try to do is to remember the good days before your Birthday last week and also the good times you had out to lunch and the party. The problem with Fibro is that we know we will pay for it afterwards and that is what you are going through at the moment.

It will pass, you will feel better again. Please be assured that we understand Pepper, we know how you are feeling, we've all been there too. Rest, keep warm and take your meds too.

Sending you a hug and a get well soon wish. (((hug))) xxx

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and wishes. I'm hanging out here until 10pm to take my meds and that will be an hour early but that is the most I can do. So want my bed but know if I go early have to wake up to take them I'll never get back to sleep. I'm sure tomorrow will be a better day, if not I'm staying put.

Hello Peppersoo, Happy Birthday! Sorry that you are feeling so bad but hopefully you do at least have some happy memories. Can I suggest that you do as the queen does and have another birthday once you are feeling a bit better.That way you might be able to enjoy it a bit more! Hope you sleep well tonight and tomorrow finds you a bit better. Jane x
