I hate the fatigue. Not that I like any of the other symptoms, just really feeling it today.

Stress can be a huge factor in fibro pain as well. The more the body tenses up from stress, the more it can flare and hurt like the dickens.
Everyone has stress in their lives. I guess it's a matter of finding the best ways for us to deal with that stress that helps to make a difference. Mindfulness and meditation/relaxation (oh, and breathing too!) can probably help the most in my thoughts. Maybe I'm wrong, but it has helped me with my pain at times. I know there are times when we don't even realize we are stressed. That can make it difficult too. I send my healing thoughts to all of you and hope your pain and fatigue lessen very soon!

Well it has begun ....4 years in a row.. Almost spring..... Typical hypo roaring into a mania .... I am getting everything done and I'm perky enjoying the burst of energy and plain loving it...
 The most wonderful thing is when I swing like this I still have all the pain but I can just ignore it , My body is just running on high octane Bipolar juice .... Yes I will probably crash and burn and have to put myself back together, been there done that and bought the ugly Tshirt..... But I can do this I'm strong not weak. It's a cycle, It always cycles and spits you out the other side, usually with another lesson learned. I hope everyone catches a break and finds a bit of peace if only for a little while, every little bit counts

Something I've always had trouble dealing with in my mind is telling the difference between being lazy and having fatigue from it all. Honestly, it's driving me nuts right now. *sigh*

I'd like to go back to bed but I wouldn't be comfortable there, either.

Anyone here ever read "Duma Key" by Stephen King? The main character has an accident at the beginning of the book that causes him to have memory problems. Every time I read the book and his struggles with straightening out his memory I think of trying to cope with fibro fog.
I thought I'd share one of the things he does. King calls it "thinking sideways." When the character can't remember something he will think of something that connects "sideways" to something else starting a series of associations until he gets to what he was trying to remember. I realized I do something similar when stuck for a word or a memory. Anyone else do something similar? |

I do that, Liz! It's called "Pegging", and it's a way to remember things that educators use to teach children. Thank you so much for sharing that!
I am definitely in a fog this morning and I ache all over. My boot cast and leg break aren't helping things, but I know it could be worse. Sitting in my desk chair most of the day with my leg propped up isn't helping the pain of the fibro, but it does help the pain from the break. Sometimes I just have to get up and move around. I can't take it any more.

Yesterday was rough. Maybe the time change?
I will go through the letters of the alphabet to try to cue my memory. For example, if I am trying to remember an author's name or such. |

I got an iron transfusion so that helped some. My drs didn't want to write excuses for me missing almost month of work. Really? I'm anemic have a sinus infection that won't go away fibromyalgia and chronic diarrhea. Yeah, I really belong at work.

Sorry I haven't been around recently. Gentle *HUGS* to all of you.
Life sucks sometimes and I have to do things that I really don't want to do. It doesn't help my body or my mood at times, yet I try to keep a smile on my face and curse quietly in my head when I need to. Temperature has gone up to the 50's the past 2 days which I love! Unfortunately, we're do for some snow tonight, tomorrow and tomorrow night. Good grief, please make it stop!!!!

Hi tmt123,
Welcome to Psych Central and the Fibro check in thread. We're glad you found us! There was a long time when I had no insurance either. I've been on Cymbalta for a number of years and was unable to afford it. I got it free through Lily who makes Cymbalta. Here is a link to their Patient Assist site - LillyTruAssist.com - Find Programs - Provided by Eli Lilly and Company I had to renew my application every year to make sure I was qualified, but it was a life safer! I hope you find you are eligible for free Cymbalta. Sorry about the flare you are in right now and I hope it subsides very soon!
