This is getting so old..and it’s depressing. I try to put on a brave face for the most part, but I am just tired. Tired of this fibromyalgia and all that goes with it. For some reason I have this syndrome..did I do something in my earlier life to deserve this…no…no one gets this because they deserve it. I guess I got it because God must think I can handle it. And I can. Most days. Today, not so much.
It’s hard to explain a ‘flare’. I get really achy, like a flu achy. No fever, just achy..then my feet hurt. Well they hurt most days, but when I get a flare, they really hurt…they burn like they are on fire from the inside out. Meds, supposed to help, really don’t. Pain pills, supposed to help, really don’t. When I have a flare, not much helps. And sleep escapes me..most nights.
On the bright side, a flare lasts a few days and don’t happen in any regular way..sometimes I can predict one, as we have been real busy and I haven’t had enough sleep. Other times, they hit me like a ton of bricks.
I don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me, I am just venting. This will pass..it always does..

Sorry about the flare ups....I know you will be so glad when it passes....and no one does deserve it, why it happens? Who knows?
ReplyDeleteI hope the flare passes by the end of the day for you!!!! It is hard when we get them, isn't it? Let's hope this one doesn't last too long.
ReplyDeleteI hope tomorrow is a better day for you!!!
Feel better soon! I recently learned one of my aunt's has this disease as well. Not fun to watch her when she's in pain.
ReplyDeleteBarb if you're like me, most days you just "Put on your big girl panties and deal with it" Sometimes though it just can't be done can it? I hate Fibro and all that goes with it and then when you have other medical problems sometimes it's just overwhelming. I feel for you and pray that life gets better quickly.

flare ups are hard to handle, I was feeling good for a couple of weeks now the last couple of days I can hardly walk again, This winter was a never ending pain, I did finally go back to the doc to get some anti depressants and for some strange reason they seem to help. Hope you feel better soon, one good thing about a flare up is they usually go away....
ReplyDeleteIt's okay to vent, Barb. Sorry you are feeling so badly. You didn't do anything to deserve this disease. All I can do is pray you feel better soon, so you can enjoy your plans next week with your friends and your trip to see me. Rest and feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI totally missed your contest. Too bad because I'm pretty lucky at those things. Congrats to the winner.
Vent all you want...your friends are here for you...love you..

This is kinda late but I was reading some of your posts. You explained it to a tee! Meds don't help when we flare, we can't always predict them, but when I see big weather changes I know I am going to hurt big time. I also get the "sleep" days when I am absolutely useless. I can't stop sleeping. I use massage therapy, my massage lady is great. And I too, am waiting for a hearing on my social security! Government sucks!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried a low key yoga? It helps mentally and physically!
Feel better. 8^)
