Meltdown...

Im having a horrid time since I over exerted myself last week by going on an ambitious day trip and pushed myself too far...It has caused a massive flare up...

Apart from the extra pain and fatigue, I also have bad tummy, feeling nauseous and sore throat - I havent had these symptoms for a few months - Could be im coming down with some bug, but it never seems to materialise - Is it just my body saying you did this too me and now your going to pay...not just in pain but all elements?

I find I can't cope with work when im like this, but have had so much time off this year already - really don't know what to do :o(

So sorry you are going through this. I wish I had the answer for you. All I can say is that I understand. I find myself in the same situation and missed work again today. One thing that does help is talking about it especially to people who know what you are going through. This forum is a great place for that. I truly hope you start to feel better and the pain subsides soon.

Wackers,

I've mentioned this very thing to my doctor at least twice - questioning why on Earth does physical exertion lead to feeling sick! - and he says, "Yeah, this happens with Fibro and we don't know why." So, because I really trust him, I don't worry much about it anymore. It's just part of the package.  Still a pain in the behind, of course, but I figure: so it goes...and it always does (go, I mean - eventually.) 

But I feel like I always have to live "life lite," walking on eggshells, never letting myself fully get into anything for any length of time.  It just sucks!  I also think this contributes to fog, because switching activities (and muscle groups) so often leads to fragmented thinking...that's my theory, anyway.

Hope you feel better soon!

Newer to the forum and have been stuck in a flare forever it seems like, so this a prime time to ask a question...do you just have to suck it up be in this awful place? Will the doctor prescribe any type of rescue medicine?

I'm thinking of you!

hi,

Rest and enjoy calm.
For a month i`ve been in the same condition. Fatigue, memory going wild, pains all over, anxiety and struggling for energy for my work.

hugs

Wackers,

Yup, basically our bodies will revolt over (what seems to us) the smallest things... And I get where you are coming from too... it is exhausting, but the sooner you can sit and relax, you should start to come around.

Good luck, hope you find peace soon!
