    hi how does fibro affect you and what advice could you give me as i am not very mobile with it and always in severe agonising pain andd am mostly bed bound and at 36 years of age thats depressing
    • Posted

      the other we have to learn to do is pace ourselves, so we dont over do things and end up in more pain and in bed for days. paceing is you may hoover 1 day dust another washing another, just doing a tiny bit so as not to leave yourself exhausted. fibro is different for us it affects us all differently so what may suit 1 may not suit another. we all trying different ways and different things to find what works and what doesnt. fibro varies also in person to person in the severity of it so person may have it mild another person may have it at an extreme level. Im at the extreme level hope Ive been of some help to you from my experiences with this horrid condition take care

      you have im right up the with you its at the point where it could go 1 of 2 ways suicide cause the pain is so unbearable or bed bound crying in agony till it puts you to sleep we ll for me suicide is never an option and is never the answer as you hurt the ones you leave behind and im always the second option just have to find ways to deal with it and adapt to it and mobility is the main issue for me at the moment but i will call the relivent people to help out with my mobility issues so i wont be in bed all day and can try to get out the flat x

      I find if I can get out my husband takes me for a short drive out on a weekend. I find it helps by being out,  your out in other surroundings and out of 4 walls, it certainly helps me when I can get out and helps to lift my spirit On the sunday I found this forum I was very very low infact desperate. just felt I could no longer take no more. Suicide did enter my head but then you stop and think about your loved ones I cant leave my husband behind I stumbled across this forum its been a god send. as I was able to talk to people that have the same condition and fuly understand how your feeling and what your going through it has helped me enormously Im so thankful I found it the people on the forum are great we support each other as best as we can through sharing our experiences of fibro.what we do to try and make our lives more bearable.

      Hi Kaz

      I really feel for you about the way your feeling right now,

      I know it's very hard and extremely painful and very easy to become depressed as it seems to be a circle that we keep reliving,

      Please talk to your GP about how your feeling suicidal thoughts of any kind are not normal and you appear to be very low at the moment,

      Your among friends here but professional help is very important

      Sending you gentle hugs.

      Hi Leona putting fibro to 1 side Ive had a few rough weeks with different things going on in my life. Ive suffered with depression for a while since having fibro its made it worse. I had a chat to my gp when I saw her last month shes keeping a very close eye on me. I wouldnt do anything because I love my husband too much I know the full impect it would have on him. he is what keeps me going, and chatting to you ladies also especially to do with the fibro is a very big help. Im a fighter Ive battled through many things.its just the fibro hasnt helped the depression.onwards upwards I will get through it. Thank you for your concern take care gentle hugs

      Keep fighting Kaz. I have had some major personal battles in my life, and right now I am hanging on by my finger tips......but I will not give in! I am having a really bad afternoon, having over done it this morning, cleaning and tidying before my line manager and HR person come out tomorrow! I am not house proud (thank goodness) but I thought I should tidy up a bit! I am not worried about them coming I have nothing to hide, I just hope the fog that's been so thick this week allows me to say what needs to be said, and I will write things down so I remember what they've said! For now, it's curled up on the sofa with my 3 hot water bottles waiting for the worse back spasm ever to pass! 

      Onwards and upwards!

      Hope all goes well with your line manager and HR tomorrow. Just be yourself. Stay calm and positive and enjoy your evening.

      Gentle hugs wink x

      hi kaz wont go down the suicide root as she is strong and is so much stronger than she gives herself credit for just like everyone else is in the fibro club we look out for eachother and support one and other cause we are the only ones who truely understand kaz is a diamond she has helped me accept so much im no longer the person i once was and i need to slow down and take life 1 day at a time and to rest up when im exhausted and not run myself into the ground and to listen to my body when its had enough then rest she helped me come to terms with it and accepet it and to not be in denial so i woll always be greatful to her and will always be her friend and will always stay intouch with her just as i will everyone else but she has become a dear friend and im also glad that she has a supporting husband just like i have a supporting wife we are both lucky dont worry kaz wont think like that cause she has us all and shes not the type to take her life as she is more stronger than that and believe me it wont happen its just figure of speech she only thought about it but not in a way that she thought about doing it shes to strong for that

      Hi Kaz. I too have been awake  for absolutely ages , but it was a beautiful sunrise this morning! 

      I have spent my time writing what I need to say in the meeting this morning, and that has been good use of my time. I am very stiff and painful this morning and my tinnitus is awful, never mind, I am what I am! One good thing about them coming here is that they will see how far I live from work, it's over an hour and quarter's drive, I struggle to go shopping fifteen minutes up the road these days! The joys of living in the countryside.

      Must go and have a shower now, I will post after they have been. Wishing everyone a relatively pain free morning. Gentle hugs!

      Hi Pillpala Its was good for them to see how long your drive to work is.That shud of made them see things better what its like for you getting to work. could you do any shopping on line, I do my food shop on line once a week and I get anything I need and want off line now as I cant walk round shops any more. some of the shops I like going into arnt big enough for wheel chairs.I would love to live in the country side, I love the country side and the sea also. I have had tinnitus all week you have my every sympathy its awful I wake up stiff every morning I cant sit too long or I stiffen up and cant move. we cant help how we are unfortunatly we just have to go with the flow and take each day as it comes take care gentle hugs x so pleased the meeting went well for yousmile
