Anyone feel sick after increased physical activity?

I was diagnosed with fms this year. I was wondering if anyone had this symptom of feeling sick. After I am physically active, really pushing myself, such as cleaning, shopping, running errands, etc., my energy levels drop. I feel "heavy", exhausted and sick. I get a little dizzy, feel nauseated, get a "sick" feeling headache as though I have a virus. I don't know if this is pushing myself to the limit and thats how fibro acts? If I lay down and rest and sometimes take a short nap I feel better. It's weird. I don't like it. I can't get busy and clean and move fast for long, cause I start to feel this way. I don't understand why moving fast and being active can make this "come on". When this first started I didn't notice these symptoms. I don't know if this means its getting worse or not. I do not take meds except for tylenol and 800mg of motrin, I refuse to dump other pills in my body. lol.

Is anyone else experience this?

Thanks for your input!

for a solid year. Since then I have built up my immune system and also eliminated as much stress as possible.

I have one cold, a year ago, after a particularly bad argument with my husband. It took me a month to get over and since then I have realized it is better to be well than to be right!

But if I go shopping, either food or clothes or whatever, I begin to get the feeling I am coming down with

a cold, so I need to take more supplements and rest. After thinking about it alot, I am wondering if in the

grocery store there are lots of allergens and chemicals and flourescent lights that make me feel so tired and

ill. And in clothing stores it could be the flourescent lights plus the chemicals that are in the clothes.

I definitely know that flu/cold feeling that you are talking about.

I know about the snow! I am in Va, we got about 6.5 inches. I really wanted to go out in it, but I knew that I would overdo it and feel bad. Ha, I feel sick this morning I haven't even done anything but get ready for work. I can't really tell if Im flaring or not, cause Im always feeling something..lol.

I just know that I hate that sick feeling, and I usually do push myself, esp. if Im having a good day, (well less pain). I try to play it off all the time like Im dont have fibro, and I try to act as normal as possible. Sometimes I accept it, then other times I don't. I very rarely complain to my husband or kids...it's no use, they don't get it anyway.

Take care,

Karen
