Fibro/RA/CFS Flare

[PrettyinPink3436]

Just wondering if anyone else woke up feeling as if you’d been hit by a truck and feeling run over by a bus this afternoon? Am I alone here? Autoimmune diseases truly suck. I’m laying in bed, can’t sleep, staring at a wall and rocking myself praying that I will get through yet ANOTHER “tri-flare” leading the way by fibromyalgia (that beast always leads the way) followed closely by CFS (ME) and let’s not forget rheumatoid arthritis

Sorry for the pity party. I just feel fed up!!!

Hello, lovely.

I had to respond to your post because I know the feeling well. Those delightful conditions impact my life as well and never more so than when the weather is colder. I have flare after flare and it feels like it's never going to be any better, especially when visitors pass their colds etc on to me and it takes me weeks to get over them.

But then Spring will arrive and I will start to feel better. My energy levels will improve and my pain levels will start to drop. I hope it works that way for you too. Meantime, hang in there. Flares come and go. It's horrible when you're in one but you have to hang on to the knowledge that you won't feel like this forever, there will be better days ahead Xxx

Hi Pinkdaisy65- Thank you so much for your empathy, understanding and support. It makes such a difference when another person TRULY gets how you feel and encourages you to stay strong and focus on the positive as opposed to putting all of your energy into the negative.

I woke up feeling better this morning so that’s a blessing. The cold weather affects me too. I’m very sensitive to the cold and rainy conditions.

I pray that you are having a symptom free day (those days are like precious gold!) and spring is around the corner! 😊 xxx
