Feel so exhausted.....

[sylvi]

Well as you all know i have had a busy week. It started last Saturday with the poppy launch and parade,then at night my daughter did a poppy party to raise more funds for the poppy appeal. Then Monday i was at the drs trying to sort my drugs out. Then Tuesday was the tower as you all know about. Wednesday town again to try again to sort drugs and it was hubbys birthday so we went out for a meal. Yesterday it was for my nails. Now today i was supposed to be going to a concert in which my daughter is carrying the standard in,well i have cancelled that. Hubby will go with her anyway,but i will go back to bed instead as i am so exhausted i have nothing left in me. I need to be fitter for the Rememberence weekend as i take the photos.

I was sitting here after hubby went shopping with our daughter crying my eyes out as i am so down about how i feel. He came back for something and he gave me a cuddle bless him. I am really struggling as i don't have the energy to do even basic housework let alone anything in the garden. I am feeling sorry for myself this morning that i can't do anything which needs me to use energy. Thanks to ra/fibro i sit in sweat nearly all the time. As soon as i start to do something it happens and even when i am sitting it happens.

I hope every one of you are having a pain free day today and enjoy the sun if your out in it.xxxx

But think of the memories you now have my lovely!! They can't take those away! So rest up now and feel better and enjoy those hugs you lucky lady!

[sylvi in reply to allanah]

The hugs are especially welcome,but i feel like i have let hubby down,no he won't say that it is all in my mind. I just can't do it anymore i wish i could. xxxx

[allanah in reply to sylvi]

Of course you haven't let anyone down! Did you ask to get sick? No. Does your friends and family love you? Yes!

I know we all get down days Sylvie but you do sound real down . Have you had a think of at long last this illness maybe causing you to get a bit depressed? I would surprise me as you have put on a brave face do long. If in your heart the answer is yes then call your gp and the nras free helpline for a chat ?

And yes try to see some positives, I'm lucky if I get a weekly hug from my Alan Sugar type hubby!! ( but he's still lovely!)

Hope you feel a bit better after resting xx

[sylvi in reply to allanah]

Oh i know i am depressed Allanah as i am on Sertraline for it,but yes i do put a brave face on . I am lucky with Bob as you know he takes great care of me and he is not worried about me not going tonight he understands better than i do to be honest. My trouble is i don't know what is causing my problems,the RA/fibro or cfs. I am getting hammered on all fronts. I have just started to sweat like a good one again,i don't know how many times a day that happens.

After lunch Bob is taking Grace over to L.spa for rehearsals and then he is coming home to go back tonight. I will go to bed this afternoon and i think i will stay up there only coming down for my tea. Rest seems to be the only answer and i hate it as i have always been active despite being over weight. One good thing is i am not suicidal thank goodness.

Thank you for your wise words darling i love you too.xxxx

[allanah in reply to sylvi]

Maybe you need your drugs increasing a bit Sylvie but the sweating bit could be a few things, maybe inflammation increasing or an infection starting both would make you tired. So maybe a check up but also resting over the weekend sounds good and yes a night in won't go amiss xx

[sylvi in reply to allanah]

I have had my sulpha increased and they take a while to get into my system. I will get the weekend over with and see what i can do next week.xxxx

[allanah in reply to sylvi]

((((( ))))) hugs

[sylvi in reply to allanah]

Thank you darling.xxx

[allanah]

Second attempt to leave a message Sylvie!! Just think of those memories you have tho my lovely, it makes it worth it. Now rest and relax and enjoy those hugs you lucky lady!!

Now, Sylvi, (pointy finger) you know why you feel like this, you have two damned diseases & they've allowed you to do quite a lot this week, all of which you'll remember fondly & forget how it made you feel right now....until the next time you do lots one day after another! I've just hoovered the dining room & sat down & my eyes welled for no other reason than I hurt & am sweating so much I feel like I've just got out of the shower again. H went shopping on his own because I felt so rubbish first thing & he's now worn out & fallen asleep in the chair but I'll have to wake him soon as he's to go for a CT scan. Really could both do with shutting ourselves away but there you go!

You rest up as much as poss next week, I'm sure your lovely h will take the reigns. You need to recharge your batteries for Remembrance day & capturing yet more wonderful, thought-provoking images. x

[sylvi in reply to nomoreheels]

Yes darling i have over done it. I am getting where i can't do anything and i don't like it. In the mornings after i had had a wash i would wipe round the bathroom,or i would water my plants and i haven't done simple jobs like that for over a week. I will watch the last part of law and order and i am going to bed for the afternoon.Thank you.xxx

[nomoreheels in reply to sylvi]

That sounds like a really good idea. Do remember though you've done an awful lot this week & being so active has added to how you feel. If you're anything like me you'll feel weepy because you're over tired & add in prohibitive disease & it gets you down when you sit thinking that you can't do everything any more.

I hope you wake feeling at least a little more positive & try not to do too much until you feel as though you've caught up a bit. x ..... no need to thank anyone, we've all felt know you feel to a greater or lesser degree so completely understand your frustration. (x)

Hi Sylvi, that's not like you to be so down. You've had a busy time of it lately don't be so hard on yourself. It sounds like you have a lovely family & a lovely caring husband. You look after yourself x

[sylvi in reply to Caza]

I do have a lovely family,my daughter just rang from the concert where she is playing tonight to check in on me. xxxx

Nothing to add to others really Sylvi - just to say I'm thinking of you. X
