Feel like such a whiney baby.... so tired of being tired!

[vintagechicken]

I know my family and friends are tired of hearing about it, so basically I don't say anything... but the truth is that each day is just becoming harder and harder to function.  I currently take Savella along with Pristiq and had been doing much better, but lately I've noticed that I may be taking a few steps backwards with pain and fatigue?

I am assuming that this is just the normal eb and flow of life with Fibro and CFS?  It's just getting so old!  I feel so anxious about not having any energy to get up and get things accomplished, then in the next moment I feel so depressed because my life is not at all what I had in mind and I feel trapped in this existance.

I know I'm not alone in my feelings and I guess I just wanted to whine to someone that might understand! LOL  My family certainly doesn't understand and has very little patience when it comes to me and my health.  IT seems like they can all have bad days or lazy days, but I'm still expected to hold up my end of the deal ... EVERY DAY!! UGH!!

Thanks for letting me vent.... If I could figure out a way to run screaming from my office/job and still get a paycheck... I WOULD! LOL

it's long-term hell! very tiring to be tired, then people not understanding... i would never have thought there could be a disease so cruel :/
so thankful support and friendships online!

Thanks so much friends, for your words of understanding!

My moods and my pains tend to change with the weather...and now that we are about to enter into Fall and lots of weather changes, I'm afraid of what each day holds!  LOL

My first line of defense has to be to get back into a better eating routine and less processed sugars and flours.   I also need to pump up my vitamin intake, so I can fight whatever bugs that happen to cross my path.  The last thing I need is to get sick.... then I never will drag my body out of bed! UGH!

I'm also right there with ya - know exactly how you feel.  It seems that those of us who suffer from chronic pain are the ones that alway put on that happy face no matter how much we are hurting, yet those that may have an ache or a pain now and then are the ones that "are dying" with every little twinge.

I've also been having a really tougth time with my fibro/CFS lately, so please know that you're not alone.  I think the back and forth weather that we've been having here in Virginia has quite a bit to do with it for me.  I also suffer from severe arthritis and lupus, so changes in weather tend to affect me greatly.

Anytime you'd like to talk, just let me know.  Sometimes we all need to vent and you're right - it does help to be able to vent to someone who understands rather than someone who doesn't - even if they're family.

Gentle ((((hugs)))) from a fellow sufferer
