FMS

[RJE]

I suffer with FMS/CFS.  Lately I have been in a lot of pain.  But I have noticed something new.  I find everyone annoying.  Sometimes, I don't want anyone to talk to me.  I can't concentrate on what their saying nor do I care.  I am not normally like this at all.  I haven't  changed any meds.

Does anyone else experience this?

I can relate to this I go into the bed room if I start to get annoyed or my husband can tell when I am on the enge of saying something if we are out he will step in so I do not go burning bridges when we are out. I hate it when someone asks me to help them when they are suffering I have no idea how many times I have told them that I am just not interested they never seem to take the hint. Just because I am suffering I have no interest to know how someone else is going how they have a head acke or a they had a bad nghts sleep because the neighbours dog was barking. I sometimes ask them if they would like my body as I do not sleep and I hurt all the time. If they are people who do not really know me they say "Oh it can't be that bad" I then give them the look and walk away. Kathy

I ditto the comments about caller ID.  I had to laugh at those comments, because I feel the same way. ;-)

Sleepy,

LMAO!! I second the love of caller ID!! In fact, I rarely answer the phone anymore. I just dont feel like getting stuck on the phone with long winded people. I answer messages when I feel like it and I call my Mom.

Hope everybody's feeling good today!

I have had FMS for 9yrs. and I can't stand alot of noise, even going where there are crowds bothers me. I also am glad to have caller ID,lol

I feel the SAME way when I feel bad. I have a hard time tolerating too much noise even on a good day. It's like it actually hurts my nerves. I know that sounds strange.. LOL.

I think its probably pretty normal for a person in pain to feel annoyed by people messing with them. You dont feel like answering questions or talking about anything. Also, people with FM have trouble with their nerves... and it's common for us to be bothered my light, sounds, and smells.

This must be pretty common, because I experience the same thing myself.  Sometimes it's all I can do to have the strength not to yell at the person who is getting on my nerves.  I agree about not burning bridges when you really want to let loose and let someone else have it.  Usually, when I realize that someone is really irritating me a lot, I'll retreat for a few days and make myself unavailable for anything or anyone that isn't necessary, because I realize this is the best way to keep my composure.  This usually works for me anyway.

  I feel that way a lot of the time lately.  For me, I think it is because I have been feeling so awful.  I am one of those (like many with CFS/FMS) that like to make everyone happy.  People come to you for help, advice etc.  I am having such a time just trying to get through each day, that everyone is just annoying me.  

  I don't have the answers, but just wanted to let you know that you are not alone.  Hang in there the best you can!

I sometimes feel this way, but think it might be hormaone related.  Don't know if you have gone through the change.  And it could be depression.  

When I experience these feelings, they usually only last for 4-7 days.  I can certainly tell my self that it won't last very long and just don't make anything permanent.  (That is with relationships)  You know burn bridges.
