Excellent! And I bet you feel so much better for writing it all down. Good for you.
I haven't written poems for years. I always found that when there was something that was really bugging or upsetting me that if I wrote it in a poem I'd feel soooo much better. I'd forgotten about that. You have given me the jolt I needed to try it again. So you've helped me too, thank you 🐸
This is a great piece of writing . It sums up what I feel. May I please post it on facebook using your 'inoutfog' name? Or can you please post it? It is so descriptive of our daily challenge......just to try to be a little 'normal'.
by all means post it, i am not good with the technical side of posting etc, god knows who would get it ?!!!! i used to write a lot of poetry but got told it was too miserable so i stopped, i thought i was writing about life, the truth, not as seen through rose tinted glasses ! gentle hugs and thankyou xx
Oh dear, I don't know where to find it now! You are such a lovely writer. If I find it I shall put it on Facebook if that's ok with you and make sure you are credited with the talent! Keep in touch with those poems. Lovely work.
This is how I feel most of the time but especially today as I am n a flare.
I have just cancelled my mum coming over for lunch today as all I want to do today is stay in bed and rest. Needless to say she didn't understand . So I am going to be selfish and think of me for a change.
Thanks for the poem, I might show her this next time I see her.
Thank you for putting into words just how I feel, and so eloquently.
For me the difficulty is kind and caring friends and family, I spend my time saying " I'm OK and not to worry. It's fine, I'm managing it." But the truth is everything gets on top of me. Fatigue and fog, all the time. Start the day with a long list and go back to bed before I've barely started. And so it goes on.........................
I so feel your frustration as a fellow fibromyalgia suffer I totally understand what you are saying. Everything becomes over whelming if you focus on all of it. I try to do the most important things and ask my family to do the rest either that or it gets left. I get very fed up with people saying how I ve let things go, so now they either take or leave it. It is important to chat to a support group either on line or by going to your local one. You will find empathy rather than judgement there. Your not a lazy person, you have a condition that's limits what you can do, please remember that. Gentle hugs.
Please please, if you haven't tried it, please research Low Dose Naltrexone (trial done at Stanford University, USA. ). Dicksons chemist in Glasgow might be able to give you info (I have no affiliation to them, and no monetary interest!). If you try it and it helps you, as it has helped me, then please pass on this info. I get so sad at reading all the posts of the suffering of Fibro patients and just want to get the message out that there is a drug (relatively harmless and almost side-effect free, and non addictive) - which might be able to help you. It has helped me. I know we all react differently to different drugs - but LDN is worth giving a try. I started taking it in February, and have been seeing gradual improvements in my health since then. With no horrid side effects!
If there was someone out there who listened, and tried to better understood how could they help? What would you want from them? Your poem is so painfully expressive, so touching, so emotive, your are in pain, tired of the pain, as a physiotherapist trying to learn how to help people in your situation, what would you want from me? How could I help? I look foward to hearing from you.
You just summed everything up. I would put a sad 😞 face but I won’t. A happy 😃 emoji is much more appropriate as there are you and others that understand completely through your words. Thank you so very much 🥰xxx
