Hi Everyone,

I'm tired of being sick all the time. Since my late teens, it has been this way, and I'm simply fed up. Every day is another

challenge: to get out of bed, to get into the shower, to eat the right foods...just too much. Some days I cannot get

out of the bathrobe because my skin hurts. Other days I cannot focus on my schoolwork, never mind the days when the

slightest noise hurts so much I cant think straight anyway. Recently the trouble with getting enough sleep has started

again. It's just so frustrating...over 20 years of this. Anyway, thanks for being here. You all are beautiful people. Things

will look better tomorrow, they always do.

I understand and I'm sure many others do, too. Every day is a struggle, right? And after a while, it just wears you out and you want to give up. I am sorry you are having such a rough time and hope a pain-free day is around the corner for you!!

Free Spirit,

I hope so, too. It does get old, doesn't it? Always an uphill battle, and we have to find the strength to go on within ourselves....sometimes it's just there, other times it's hiding (very well, I might say.)

We all understand and have felt down and frusrtated at times. Venting allows us to express our feelings...sometimes a good cry helps too. Fibro does impact our lives at all sorts of levels, it can also have a positive impact on our lives...but when we are down it is hard to realize anything positive that can come out of fibro. Fibro does wear down our "batteries". These are times we have to be kind and gentle to ourselves.

Things do get better and we do realize that we still have alot to be thankful for. Living with chronic pain teaches us not to take anything for granted. We really do apreciate the "good" days and we learn that we are stonger than we ever knew,

Hope you have a peaceful sleep and wake tomorrow feeling better :)

Hugs, Robin

I am glad you shared with us. It can really help to vent and have some support. I probably can say most of us with fibro can relate to your day. I am very grateful to have a therapist to talk to about my fibro. I told myself that I was going into winter with my big guns in place. It seems to be working. I hope you have a better day tomorrow.

thank you for sharing this. Oftentimes I get so frustrated, so fed up, so downtrodden. When will it end? It doesn't make the struggle easier, but it helps to know we aren't alone.

(((hugs))) I hope this flare ends for you soon.
I hate winter. I have been able to beat it the last couple years, but this year is hard.

Ah, what am I saying? The bad days are always hard, the good days I always wonder what the big deal is?
