There, I've said it. After years of tellling myself that I am not giving into my Fibromyalgia, I think I have to concede defeat..
I am hoping that the new Gps I shall see when we move will be a lot more helpful, as I ahve really more or less self treated yself for the 2 1/2 years we have been down here.
It's finally beating me. I spent 3 hours in bed on Christmas day because the fatigue jsut kicked in, and never actually got up until 12 noon on Saturday. Today we took a small wlak round a nearby village and after 15 minutes Is aid to DH "I can't go on, I am in so much pain", and the fatgiue is getting me down, I feel like I have concrete block tied to my legs which I have to drag round.
I've had 4 days off work (not through illness) and it's made me realise just how much of a struggle it is for me to go and do only 3 hours a day.
I have had teingling and numbness in the last 2 fingers of my left hand permantently for the past 6 months and periodically for aobut a year before that. Today i ahve numbness and tingling down my right arm, I ahv eno feeling in 2 fingers and my legs and feet are agony.
I keep getting blurred vision, and face pain and IBS flare ups. Its getting me down and I feel that I am going to have to give ina nd tell myself that I can't do the things I used to do. I cannot remember the alst time I ahd a good sleep (although that is 80% because of the feckin racket from next door)
I have no inclincation to do anything - I sit and look at the house and although it's not dirty, it is very untidy and we are moving in 5 weeks, I have so much crap but I don't have the physical energy or mental motivation to do it.
