I haven't been very well over the last few days, I have chronic Fatique, some days are bad other days are terrible. I couldn't keep my eyes open for nearly 2 days, all I have done is sleep. The tiredness is terrible even though I've had hours of sleep I could still sleep. I'm feeling slightly better today, I'm up, showered with clean pyjamas on. A shower takes it out of me, I'm worn out but not as sleepy.
I have Fibromylagia, this consists of all over chronic pain, mental cloudiness, Fatique and poor sleep. 80% of sufferers are women, man and children can develop the symptoms. Some chronic Fatique symptoms can be the same as Fibromylagia joint pain, muscle pain and headaches. I have both problems, sleeping is a massive part to my problems as when the chronic Fatique flares up I can sleep for days then when I have a Fibromylagia flare up I'm in so much pain I can't sleep so my brain becomes very foggy, my daughter has often said "It looks like I'm drunk" this is because I slur my words and I am dizzy when walking. Its not a nice feeling at all.
I have to stay in where I am safe. I wanted to go shopping with them yesterday but couldn't as I was very foggy and dizzy. My daughter brought me a beautiful bunch of flowers to cheer me up.
These made me smile, they are sitting in a vase next to me, they smell gorgeous. These are the first flowers I have had for a while that I can smell whilst not sitting next to them. They were a lovely suprise and cheered my miserable face up.
Today has been a better day, I got up then went out in the car with hubby to post a letter, I was still in my pyjamas, I put a big coat on so people couldn't see what I was wearing, I wasn't getting out of the car as hubby posted the letter I went to get some fresh air. The trip out certainly woke me up In not feeling anywhere near as tired as I was so hopefully I will have a few good days before I have another flare up. I know one will come I've just got to be prepared for it. There is no cure for the problems so I have to accept that this is my life.
The weather is calmer here now, the strong winds have gone. Today was dry and the skies were clear of dark clouds. Its still very cold, we are expecting a snow storm very soon, I'm not looking forward to that as I hate snow, I will be staying in until it has gone. I am hopeless when the paths and roads are icy.
My daughter who is pregnant has just text me with photos of her spending spree, she's been out buying lots of clothes, bibs, shoes etc. She's a massive Disney fan so bought loads of Disney clothes. She's now written out bless her
That's me done for today, time for bed. The last few days have flown over with sleeping so much. I'm hoping the next few days are better.
Thank you for visiting. 💟💟
