It's been a while since I posted...fatigue flare
It's been a long time since I posted how I've been, not sure if anybody remembers me it's been so long but here goes hehe.
I'm from Southern Cali, i'm 33 yr old single female with Fibro & Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disorder,Hypermobility Larynx crap(can't recall official word for it), and was dx with fm in 97, yet nobody knows for sure how long I have actually had it.
I basically do what all of you do, survive the best I know how, in spite of my whining modes I can get into(hey how can we not sometimes whine right?) and take nutritional supplements, meds, and take aquatic exercise classes, and in the past a yoga class specifically for people with fibromyalgia, and I use capzstican topical cream,patches, and therma care wraps, deep sleep drops, etc, etc.
Unfortunately my schedule of doc appts and p/t, and seeing a nutritionist have stretched my physical limits in the last couple months and it's finally caught up with me and I've been in a Extremely Fatigued Flare-Up for the last 2 1/2 months and nothing seems to be increasing my energy or helping the fatigue.
I'm very frustrated right now & can't seem to find the strength to dig deep enough to keep on "going" ........sigh.......... i'm not suicidal or anything, just drained mentally and physically and I wish very much lately I had supportive fm friends that lived where I do. I'm not desperate for someone being my best "buddy" ........it just would feel good to have support where you don't have to explain or defend yourself in regards to how messy your place looks, or why you take so long to get dressed or take a shower.......(taking deep inhale an exhale). I know all the positive self talk I need to say to myself & use the tools I learned from past bio-feedback sessions, amd the fibro pain management class i took through the arthritis treatment center.... however I'm just not able to do that at this time. It sucks to flare, bottom line, whether it's pain or fatigue, or both and it just really is affecting my mood and I wish it wasn't but it is.
I hope I find whatever I need to in order to get my mind out of this flare up hole.
Thanks for reading/listening everyone. ;-(
