What the doctors give us is a diagnosis. Very little else. I am just back from a family wedding (from Thursday until Monday) and I'm the driver. My house really needs cleaning, bed changing etc., but I just can't do it. We've both been asleep this afternoon and I'm feeling guilty to have not even prepared a meal for this evening. I've been blaming my blood cancer but may be it's the FM. Who knows. I cannot worry about myself as my partner's diabetes is seriously off kilter. I think it's the stress of driving him rather than the actual driving that has taken it out of me. They don't understand that while you may have some medication, it doesn't always give the best result.

Yes, the fatigue is awful, I'm like it every day, it's annoying. I completely understand, I woke up at 1.00am by pain in hips, so took tramadol, luckily I went back to sleep. I hope it improves for you x

That's what I was saying to my husband we are going out on Saturday night and already I'm getting myself worked up over the thought of it x

Hi , I've been feeling exactly the same more recently. As you said fibro is bad enough but the fatigue just lately is overwhelming. As I live on my own and have a home & garden to keep up... plus all the other things, I can't just give up so I do what I can albeit slower. The brain fog is awful, I do wonder if it's a sign of things to come...... I don't like this getting older lark either!.

We have to hang on in there and just keep going... take it easy...

Hello Fibrogirl41, I am replying to your post because I am feeling exactly the same. I’m exhausted, if I could think of another word worse than exhausted then I would use it. I’m emotional, drained literally and at this precise moment have nothing in reserve. I’m tearful which is an understatement! Mentally, physically and emotionally burnt out. I have a drs appointment I had made last week for next week but need some help right now. I am at the end of my tether tbh and the only place I can get support is here, from those who knows how I am feeling. I have dropped a day at work because I cannot manage/cope but for a long time now I have been really struggling each day to get up and go in. I dread each day now knowing what it entails and have been putting off the point where I really can’t go on working. My problem is as with all of us the pension age being increased to 66/67 I can’t claim it as I’m 62. But I don’t feel that I can go on any longer. I would be very grateful for any advice as to what steps I need to take from here on in please. Any and all advice is appreciated and would be greatly welcomed. Thank you in advance xx
