I hv Fibro, CFS and arthritis. I was diagnosed 10 yrs ago and hvnt worked for going on 6 yrs.
Was in U.K., was very spoilt.
Now back in South Africa and disappointed and depressed.
I live alone in a house so hv to do everythi g alone. Since getting back
on the 4th health has gone downhill. I hv eaten sandwiches, unpacked my bags thatsabout it.
I hv a body that is useless, I hv been to shops for a little food, othawise my bed has been my only companion. When I do stand up I feel like falling over. My poor dog is neglected. Hv to checkshe has food. I hv no energy, feel weak and hv a functioning body that just won't.
Fibro is so disabling and crippling.
Wish I had someone to help.
I work so hard to b positive and get healthy and active but........

I don't know whether it will help you to know....it took me 6 months to get over a flight last year. The circulated air was very bad for ME. I drank lots of water and really went back to basics with pacing. My food had to be very safe. No chemicals, dairy , wheat or nightshades. I did come through it though.
It's so easy to feel a crash is for ever. It does pass.
Its so hard when you're on your own.....but also you have peace and quiet and can rest without interruption x
Sorry my post seems to have repeated itself.... LOL
Yes I was a bit shocked. I didn't get much jet lag going TO canada, but coming home it was a MAJOR problem.
I got migraines, my sleep disappeared... Any energy left....and the fibro pain hit like several hammers.
I really had to start from bed rest and give myself time to recover.
It did pass though.
I hope it will settle down again for you too.
I found some very easy foods so that I didn't have to do much. soups are realy good, and sweet potato and marrow mash. I made up a big batch and put it in small pots in the freezer, so I could just grab something quick and easy. I ate a lot of humous and oat biscuits. Raw veggies, carrots and celery.
There are write ups about the circulated air of aircraft. Everyones bugs are piped back into the plane. Our immune system has to work really hard.
