I was doing ok for a couple of weeks managing to exercise a bit, walking bit more than usual, had less pain etc

Since last Thurs it was like bam overnight it changed. Next day, incredibly fatigued, sore throat, sore eyes, wrist pain, leg ache, neck ache, more twitches than normal, earache, feel broken...just feel plain rotten

I am eating right, drinking water, getting rest, etc etc

Can't understand why this has happened. I thought I was pacing and building up quite well

How do you get through work when you are in flare?

Thanks :o(

Sometimes it just happens.

Make a priority list. What you need to do, wish to do, can put off until later. I constantly organize my list according to the way I feel. I do this for work and for home.

This paperwork can wait. These papers cannot. The gym will have to wait. Salads or plain pasta or soup for dinner. Sometimes you can do more, sometimes less. But at least you knwo where you stand.

I hope you feel better soon!

Maybe it is some type of bug. You said you had a sore throat. You can get aches and pains with that too. Take it easy, get plenty of rest. I hope that you feel better soon, and I hope it isn't a fibro flare.

Take care, keep us posted on how you are doing...

Hugs, Karen...

Wackers, so sorry your in discomfort. When I go throgh a flare I just lay low until it passes. I try not to do too much. Sometimes I get a little teary because I get tired of the battle. You might just have a flu bug with having a sore throat. It's so hard to tell sometimes what is fibro and what is other health issues.

Hoping you can get some relief!! AND some rest. Prioritize & conquer one tiny step at a time.

Because Fibromyalgia is Fibromyalgia. Sigh. I really hate how it can slap us down, right when we thought it was in line.
