Sounds like you need to go back to your doctor for a review. There are other medications to try. They should be able to bring your pain down enough that you can do something.

Have you considered a hobby like knitting or crochet or sewing. Keeps my mind busy when I’m stuck at home.

I agree with LadyJoro you should chat with your GP. Also take up a hobby, I research my family tree, and can spend hours on the PC without realising how much time has passed.

Fibro is such a lonely condition and it's so frustrating too. I absolutely understand what you're saying. I agree with the other comments that distraction does help but when you're feeling pants, concentration and the ability to apply yourself eludes you doesn't it! I rotate my time doing all sorts of little stuff in my day. I do a bit of jigsaw, yoga, diamond art, crochet, short walk, reading, games online, TV etc etc with regular breaks in-between normally clinging to my heat mat for relief from the pain. It's a different way of living a 'normal' life but accepting what we can still manage is definitely a part of fibro 🙄. Best of luck finding your way. There are still some joys left X

I can absolutely understand how you're feeling 😔. Going from a busy healthy life to everything is a challenge. My husband is so patient and sympathetic but he does marathons, climbs Snowdon etc while I'm dragging my butt around 😤. It's frustrating to watch! Keep going and cherish the good moments and days x

Hi, I know how you feel, but the previous comments ate very true, I also do hobbies, jigsaws, diamond art, reading, take short walks because I have a dog, I also spend a lot of time on my own, as my husband works It sounds like you definitely need a review , take care, keep us all posted xxx

I have been feeling the exact same! It’s so hard watching people live their life and you’re just stuck in the same four walls 24/7!
