DRIVEN INSANE BY EXHAUSTION, HOW 'BOUT YOU?

I had a bad "attack" a little over a week ago. involved severe vomitting and cramping and pain and exhaustion to the point that I couldnt lift my own arm. Lasted hours. Took few days for soarness to disapate. So why cant I function now? I am so exhausted, sleeping 8+ hours. Everything is so hard to do. feels like I am just exhausted. comfortable for me is sitting like a rag doll with arms limp and face just limp and zoning. To be otherwise takes energy that is exhausting, to try to accomplish something small is almost too much and I am usually trembling slightly before I finish.

WHat gives. Pain is not so bad. So my mind is set to go, my body just doesnt want to do sh!t.

Went to grocery store. Felt like I was the hunchback of notre dame. Freakish. I felt retarded! My thought pprocess so sluggish. flouresence making my vertigo worse.

 after reading my typing...yeah I am still dealing with symptoms (always). It is just that I feel so guilty that my so helpful hubby will come home and dryer is full, dishes dirty. But I did do others....brought a load down. cleaned our vanity and bathtub. Fed our spoiled great danes. Researched my condition more. Tried to find others that I can help and that can help me. I have only been awake five hours.

I am typing this in short stents. My arms get tired.

I thought to go easy on myself. Give in to the fatigue and take it easy. uhm... been a week... WHat do you do for this? How long does yours last? How does yours feel?

This is driving me insane!!!! I think part of me (The survival guide) said to heck with it. DOnt fight. It will pass. Just like the pain days. I AM STILL IN PJ"S!!!!! My husband is wonderful, but he has lost so much too because of my illness. We were newlyweds when this hit. He married one woman and got another for his life long wife. God bless him. I actually feel guilty because he is now stuck with me. I was never an easy person to be with, no matter how many people described me as sweet and always smiling. I one of those upfront and honest. Speak-My-Mind-kind-of girls.

I know that having fibro/cfs is depressing, but I am usually well grounded, greatful...

DO YOU GET THIS FATIGUE. THIS EXHAUSTION? WHAT IS IT LIKE? FOR HOW LONG? WHAT DO YOU DO FOR IT?

I am gonna go get them darn dishes right now. So I am pushing...in the end it feels like its for nothing.

WAIT. I will get them after I rest my wrists n arms for a bit first......(see)

The exhaustion is debilitating, IMO. I can work through pain, but the tired-ness is what gets to me. I have always been very goal-oriented, which helps me get through the normal day. The bad, long day, however, is very bad and utterly long. I know it will be bad when someone tells me I look tired in the morning.

lol..I love your signature!

I got the dishes done!! and I never reached a drooling state.

Healthy   I am not.

I get that tired! I lay in bed or on couch with TV on, and too much work to use remote! And just turning my head or over in bed is too much work! Sometimes in lasts a day, so etimes a couple, not to long ago week or so ago lol my minds gone too, anyways it was well over a week!

Just depends on the weather and what I am doing before

The fatigue is worse for me than the pain, mainly cause my mind is still going but my body isn't. I get bored a lot and no one gets it, but when your mind d isn't

sent hubby on combined errands. Get battery for dog collar and pick-up supper (The pet store is in a strip mall fulll of food places). He went to walmart (across the street from pet store). He is the master of simplifying shopping ... battery n chicken ... one stop ... Thats my man. He got me general tsoas chicken from walmart. Apparently they cook it and serve it with tater wedges (he got those too!) :p

OMG thank you DH. It Can be too much to get the remote. I think i am more foggish during these spells, and simple pains from common accidents seem to hurt longer than usual.  

 BAD ENTER KEY .. NO, NO.

lol. Thanks!!! 

Do you think maybe you had food poisoning or a virus? I've read that our immune systems aren't as good as a healthy persons so maybe you were hit by something your body is still fighting. Resolve to take good care of yourself, eat healthy, rest, do very gentle stretching exercises, take a nap if you feel like it and see if that helps you.
