I slept well and am feeling a bit better this morning. So now I can't even walk to the beach 5 minutes from my flat. Sigh ... It is a huge hill. Tomorrow I have a physiotherapist appointment followed by food shopping. I hope that doesn't set me off again. I hate this illness. Trying so hard to stay positive. It has been worsening for three months now so I am getting discouraged. It is the fatigue that cripples me the most. I can barely read or even watch TV at times. I get so exhausted I am sensitive to light and sound. This is why I meditate so much. Often it is a struggle to focus but when I get in the zone meditation is my only escape. It must be doing me some good too.
Hi Wander,
I'm so sorry you are suffering.

Fibromyalgia is very complex and can be incredibly disheartening, too.

I think you have had Fibromyalgia for a number of years now?
I'm asking because you've written about getting worse over the past 3 months. I'm wondering if you have had a check up with your GP?

I have known of people with FMS who have had severe relapses which turned out to be additional medical conditions and ones which can be treated and they have felt much better.

I'm not wishing you an additional diagnosis. I am hoping you will feel better soon!
