I am currently in week 5… Or is it week 6? Either way, I've been in a solid flare for a while now. I've never been having as many problems on an ongoing basis for so long before. I'm hurting, & my balance is shot (more so than usual). My cognitive abilities have decreased; it's harder to think, and to read, so research is out of the question. Original posts may lack cohesion (so beware! *grin*) and even posting a non-original post is hard cuz I'm not entirely sure of relevance or what personal comments I should put with it.

It seems anything I do makes things worse. But yet I can do everything, it just hurts like an SOB to do so – that's *with* the pain meds in my system. I have to totally max out on my strongest painkillers & then some to even go out! And I refuse to go out alone if I am heavily medicated (found that out two weeks ago the hard way!)

For those who go through these ongoing flares, how do you do it? How do you deal with being so off normal, even way off normal for us Fibromite & CFSers!? This is driving me insane.

And the big Catch22: I can not sleep well cuz of how I feel, but to feel better I need to sleep well. Doesn't that just say it all?

I hope this makes sense. The spelling should be fine cuz there's an auto spell-check on my BB which let's me add words like fibromyalgia and Fibromite. :) . Let me know if this is just incoherent babbling.

Wishing you a happy and pain-free/symptom-free day!!

    You just posted a small portion of the symptoms I “deal” with everyday and have now for about 10 years. I have lost a decade of my life. Waiting, waiting for something to get better. Endless doctors, specialists, tests, procedures, medications. I have had surgeries, the most major due to central nervous system issues, having my entire large intestine removed due to it refusing to move. White lesions on my brain, thyroid problems, vision problems, gallbladder, acid reflux, severe pelvic problems..(painful sex if any)…and so so much more. And yet no one has an answer..a cure…hope. I wonder why I do? Sorry to go on and on. It hurts horribly to type. But I have also fallen victim to another issue a chronically ill person has…loss of friendships. So I lay here day in and day out. A supportive husband…got lucky there. And three children in their 20′s that try to mix living their life with “helping their sick Mom”. Enough for now…..
