So THIS is a true flare up......

[charlii]

Oh My God! I feel soooo ill! I thought before if i was having a bad day then that was a flare up and reading some other blogs i was thinking, well i can still function.

alk about having no idea!

My lovely daughter was home from uni for xmas and she had left her tramadol behind as she has sacro-eliac joint disfunction, so i shared mine which of course left me short before my meds were due. No problem i thought, i will just do without for a few days...pfft! did i get a shock!

The pain is indescribable, every single part of my body is screaming out at me i lasid in bed last night and sobbed but that just hurt me more. I couldnt shower myself of do anyting. I just about managed to get my daughter to school and i tried to do light housework and just kept having to sit down. Last night my OH did everything and i felt so guilty as hed been at work all day and i went to bed so early because the pain was so bad. I eventually dropped off to sleep only to be frequently woken by pain. I have got up this morning exhausted and in agony still. My OH went to pick my meds up from the chemist inly to find they had missed the tramadol off!!!!!!!!!! The surgery was closed for staff training so this morning i must sort out why and get an emergency script as normally you have to wait 2 working days but theres no way i can wait that long!!!!

So another pain racked day awaits me and i must say im not looking forward to it one bit. This is truly awful and some of you suffer like this every day and my heart truely goes out to you all. You are all amazing and i dont know how you cope those of you who have this pain every day and night!

|Much love.....Charlii

rest up as much as possible, try hot water bottles on the sorest bits and I hope those meds come through soon. Meanwhile, if you have standard paracetamol and some standard ibuprofen you can take the two together. It's no where near the strength of tramadol but it might just make the pain more bearable x

I can totally sympathise I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 23 years ago and it was mainly rib pain , I took painkilerrs and carried on my life... Seven years later I was on my knees not sleeping , pains , stress and anxiety through not sleeping and working full time, so I thought like you fibro it's not that bad... Oh my life yes it is,,,,, sorry you have had this really bad flare and introduction to fibro, I hope it doesn't last too long

Sorry to hear you are so bad at the moment, I was like this the past two weeks of which last Friday was the absolute worse I'd ever felt. Went to GP on Tuesday as I got blisters in my throat area, turned out that I have a virus which he thinks I may have had for the last two weeks on top of my Fibro. No wonder I felt so rotten! Hope you feel better soon x

So sorry to hear about your Fibro flare-up Charlii. I hope it eases for you soon and that you feel better before too long.

Here is some info posted a while ago here in our forum by Lindsey Middlemiss giving useful info on flares -

Hi

Are you not able to call your doctor and get an emergency prescription or if that fails explain that you will have to call for an emergency home visit.

In the mean time, you have all my sympathies.

Kindest regards

Terry

Thanks for your lovely comments guys. I rang my surgery and explained what had happened and she said whe will need to check it all and it might not be til tomorrow! I sat there wondering what on earth i was going to do. About 2 hours later, my Gp herself rang saying she had heard something was going on so she thought she would give me a ring. I told her the problem and she said she would write the script out herself now and take it to the chemist for me and she has even arranged delivery stressing it MUST be delivered today! I love my GP! x

Hi just another point of view , could part of the pain be withdrawal ? i have really suffered in the past if i run out or stop taking tramadol due to sickness/ migraine etc.

I hope you get them asap xx
