Morning everyone hope your All ok.. so yesterday was my birthday I'd plan to go out in the evening with my husband and children for meal but sadly due to this horible beast that we have I couldn't go due to feeling phycally and mentally drained to the point I couldn't walk I felt so bad for my family we'd planed to go.out and I couldn't manage to get.of the sofa for feeling so tired . I really couldn't explain why as I'd done nothing to strenuous during the day all I did was go for.lunch with my husband and looked around in 2 shops and went home bu the time i arrived home I was so tired . And this morning I feel no better keep getting sharp pains in the right side of my stomach and also the groin area and also from time to time lately sharp pains in my head and pins and needles in my feet all the time I know all of this is conected the fibro but I feel so bad having cancel my plans due to this poxy illness I have once again fibro won the battle and I gave in and went to sleep . Maybe the weekend your be kind to me and allow me to go shopping with my family .

    My heart goes out to you.I am a single mother with two sons and one had his 12th birthday yesterday. So I have had Fibromyalgia for 8 years and am recovering from shoulder surgery which means I cannot drive meaning and as we live in a vwry rural village I could not go out and get my sons party pieces. Luckily my family pulled together and bought them over to me. I am 110% frustrated that I have become this ghost of my former self

    Hi tiggers1 my heart goes out to you its so sad when we have to cancel plans with our loved ones. its heart breaking, fibro doesnt like us enjoying ourselves. when we try to do that we pay the price for it. its not only us suffering but our loved ones too. my son once said your illness affects us all not just you. its not our fault we are unable to do what we use to. we didnt ask for this condition neither do we want it. all we can do is take a day at a time, do what we can when we can. push to hard fibro bites back. we have to carry on living our lives the best we can, our old lives have now gone. its getting use to the new us which isnt easy.take care hope you are able to go out with your family at the weekend

    Hi

    I know your frustration too well!. I stayed in all over christmas due to feeling awful and had planned just one day out on the 2nd Jan to go for lunch out and a shopping trip to let my son spend his christmas money. I really tried to take it easy before the trip and avoided as much stress as I could. The night before I we were going out insomnia stuck really bad, just about no sleep, then an early morning drive . After the first shop I felt awful, by the second shop I just wanted to go home.My mood was so low and I was just fed up. Luckly my son had spent all his money ,so we just grabbed a KFC and ate it at home. Everyone said it was fine but I fely so bad about spoiling another day.

    This illness takes away so much. We drag ourselves around doing the things we have to do for our families ..cooking ..cleaning etc.. and it leaves us with nothing left for the fun things at all. 

    I have also just recently started to have those awful groin pains..I was a bit worried but it seems they are just another lovely part of fibro

    Take care

    Amanda
