I just don’t have this week what it would take to do the things that need done. I wish I could just let it go and not worry about what I can’t do. My garden and canning are suffering and my house needs cleaned up before Saturday, but I’ve felt sick all week. This is a part of Fibromyalgia that I think gets overlooked. I just feel sick for days sometimes: stomach ache, hotter than everyone else around me, sleepy, fatigued and plagued with general anxiety and panic attacks. Do any of you sufferers out there feel anything like this sometimes? Or am I falsely blaming it on Fibro? I feel sure that it’s just a flare up, but I don’t feel the pain because the Lyrica takes care of that. When I’m on Cymbalta it takes away the severity of these flare ups, but I can’t afford to order it right now.
I think stress may cause some of these flare ups. I want to get my house cleaned up before this weekend better than I normally keep it because of extended family visiting and my garden is going to pot because I can’t take care of it the way it needs. Trying to do more than I know I can makes me stress out and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that I get sick right at the time I need to feel my best. I’m aware from some reading online that flare ups are connected to stress, but how do I avoid it when there are things that need to be taken care of that I just can’t keep up with?
Take Care Everyone,
Bev
