physically exhausted

starving from lack of good food, so causing me no end of stomach pain

not an ounce of sleep- because of said pain and all ready existing imsomnia on top of that.

then today I had to sort some books to go back to the post office and it was aggony. so much so I just left them their on the floor

it's too much.

Having a truly flaming flare! Stress is beyond belief triggering the flare. I don't see any end to the stress anytime soon, so don't see an end to the flare either.

On the 21st I did something terrible. Needless to say I was Detoxed off Xanax. The Phenobarbatol might have soothed the Fibro beast somehow??? Despite being away from home for a week which normally throws me into a horrible Flare. Well I woke up this morning in such hellish Fibro pain and holy hell my Left shoulder was killing me, I have no idea what I did to it Excedrin has helped a little with my shoulder.

I hope its a short lived flare !!!!!!

I'm sorry Liz I hope somehow the pain and stress eases.

((( @lizardlady & @~Christina ))) ...

I'm sorry it sucks so bad ...

I wish there was some rhyme or reason or answers for it too!

laundry aside, (it really hurts my legs putting my clothes in the basket) I am doing okay pain wise. this week has been a lot better than last, just need to sort out the laundry issue

need a new higher basket

[lizardlady]

Pain is so bad it woke me during the night.

Stress is through the roof with no end in sight. Major changes going on at work that I have no control over. Best friend is in the hospital following a heart attack and other issues. We weren't sure she was going to make it. Then they put her on a psych hold because she said she was going to kill herself when they discharge her.

I hurt. Am emotionally overwhelmed. Just want to roll in a ball and stay in bed.

[Pflowers]

I am so sorry about your friend @lizardlady and I'm also sorry that you've got so much going on right now that it's having such an awful impact on your pain levels! If rolling into a ball and staying in bed is what you need, then give yourself permission to do just that!

[lizardlady]

Pflower, I am struggling with wanting to roll in a ball or taking care of some stuff around the jouse. example - I have so much laundry piled on the bed I have to sleep on the couch. Every single dish in my house is dirty. I'm tired of having to wash something just so I can eat.

hmm, for my mental health it helps me to have a gameplan. I'm going to get clean sheets on the bed. I'll pile laundry in a corner if I have to. I'll wash some dishes, but not expect myself to do them all.

((( @lizardlady ))) ...

It gets away pfrom us sometimes ...

During those times, the best we can do is just be extra patient, gentle & kind with ourselves.

I know, I know ... Easier said than done ...

I just wish life didn't have to be so much harder pfor some of us!

[lizardlady]

I wore one of my new fibro awareness shirts today. It's the one that says "If nothing hurt when I woke up in the morning I'd think I was dead." Thought it was appropriate.
I compromised on the day. Spent a lot of time curled up on the sofa reading. Got three loads of laundry done. It's all just piled in the basket. It'll get folded eventually. Best of all I got clean sheets on the bed. Just took a shower and got into a clean sleep shirt. One of my real treats in life is to shower, slip into something comfy to sleep in then crawl between clean sheets.

Night all. Tain't 9pm yet, but I'm ready for bed

[Pflowers]

Perfect compromise & balance @lizardlady ...

And Clean Sheets To Boot!

I'd be half tempted to wear one of those shirts to work on casual day!

I hope you had a restful sleep, and I also hope you have a good week.

[lizardlady]

I'm contemplating wearing another of my fibro shirts under something else one day. Am thinking of the one that says "I don't look sick. You don't look stupid. Looks can be deceiving!"

[Pflowers]

Go Pfor It @lizardlady!

You can pflash some of those able-bodied asstwits with it!

They probably won't get it, but that makes it even more hilarious!

I have had pain in my left side of my back today and it's pretty bad..

I have been doing a lot of comfort eating too, because, well.... because I can, and because I'm thinking about how bad my life is- or how bad it has become.

[lizardlady]

This isn't fibro related, but is paid related. Yesterday, going down my front steps, I slipped, landed on my butt and slid down the steps. I'm not injured, but boy howdy I hurt today!

[Pflowers]

I'm so sorry @lizardlady ...

It's been a while, but I remember the last couple of times I pfell and boy does it ever wreck the body pfor a pfew days and how!

Hope the extra pain eases off sooner than later!

having an OT assessment wednesday

this is great, hopefully they will know what to do and what can make my life easier moving forward.

defenetly going to mention a few concerns I have

[lizardlady]

Getting old sucks. My entire body hurts after slipping on the steps.

the assessment wasn't too bad and the woman didn't stay long (thank god for that!). she saw how much I was struggling, even to lift myself out of my chair and not even an hour in to it she had loads for her report

when I asked her if I'll see her again she's like no, probably not. I don't think I can help you really

still she's going to go back and make a report and see what happens from that

[Pflowers]

Possible trigger:

It's one of those days where I don't even want to be on the pface of this earth anymore!

[lizardlady]

(*(*(*(*pflower*)*)*)*)

Have those days too. :sad: Anything we can do to help?

[Pflowers]

Just knowing y'all empathize & care helps @lizardlady ...

showers really suck.

I know I say it all the time, but it's such a pain trigger.... ow

I wish I could just go about with my natural smell. it would make life slightly easier...

[~Christina]
