Stress and pain

Support
1

I am at the point whatever I do, or medication I take, the pain and fatigue has become unbearable. I have had a really stressful few months, constantly fighting off infections. I have had a few falls, where Imy legs have just given way. I had a BIG birthday ( 60th ) my family had spent months planning for me, when my mum died suddenly a week before, her funeral was the day before my birthday. I feel like I am ranting on, and I have always tried to be " half glass full " about my illness, but the stress must have contributed to the way I feel now. I have some good real friends and family, but there’s only so much that you can moan about

Oh, Cookie, I am sorry you’re having so much pain. We’re glad you reached out. I wonder if you are in a flare from the stress of your Mom’s passing. That is a very difficult thing. Try to take care of yourself and be easy with yourself to lower your stress. Resting and warm baths help alot as well. We also have a Mindfulness group on our site. The group’s administrator is a wonderful moderator here (Auburnm) and she has posted some very soothing meditation exercises. I have tried them and they have helped me considerably in calming the pain levels.

Also, although I understand you may feel frustrated with medications, if you haven’t checked in with your doctors recently, I still think it’s a good idea to do so. You may have something else going on that is exacerbating your Fibro pain and fatigue levels or need an adjustment in your medications.

I hope things start to look up for you soon and you feel better. We’re always here for you when you need a place where others understand.

Hugs and Happy Belated Birthday,
Laurie
