I'M TIRED !!

I’m Tired.....

Of reading a hundred books looking for that secret clue that will set me free from this pain and suffering

Of going to doctors and having to argue for my help

Of being given drugs that we are now told may make the condition worse or keep it going....with all the side effects and withdrawal symptoms

Having my mind obsessively search for the why and what is making me feel so bad

Starting another day with a hundred pound bag of rocks in my pack others don’t have

MOST OF ALL – I AM TIRED OF TRYING TO FIGURE IT ALL OUT !!!

Try finding other things to think about. Take things one day at a time, and don't dwell on finding answers. There is no cure, and many, many theories of what may have caused it. I honestly think nobody knows the answers. Kind of an enigma. Enjoy as much of life as you can with the abilities that you have to do so. Work on doing positive things to make yourself feel better. Forget about the "why"...

Life is short, and there are a few of us carrying that pack of rocks, so you are definitely not alone in this. With the encouragement of each other, we will move forward putting one foot in front of the other, we may be moving slow, but we are moving none the less.

Know you are not alone in your quest for answers, but try to go with the thought that we are all together. Trying to cope with this from one day to the next.

Keep moving forward, most of all keep moving. I walk daily and it really helps.

I Hope that you feel better soon and that you are able to relax with the thought that it just is what it is, and no escaping it. Keeping the mind busy is a must and moving is a must. I wish you the best with everything.

Hugs, Karen...

AndreaM, so sorry that you're having a bad day. Yes, our days can be rough.

Make sure that you're the decision maker in how to help yourself. Years ago, I was giving my doctors too much power over me--believing just about everything they were telling me until I helped my rheumatologist figure out that I am medication sensitive. She even said to me that most people with fibro are medication sensitive.

It really feels good when I go into a doctor's office with things I've done to help myself and give them advice so they might be able to help other fibro patients. I have even give them copies of articles from the internet. They seem to appreciate it.

This reminds me of when I first began seeing my rheumatologist in 2004, she didn't believe in vitamins. Now she encourages them. Times have changed.

So try not to count too much on your doctors and with their help be proactive in trying to help yourself naturally.

Hope your day is improving.
