So today started out good. I was at work when I posted earlier. I stared a haircut and started feeling trembling all over, legs and hands started feeling weak, and concentration difficult. Finished the haircut, packed up and came home. Now I am in my pj’s, sitting in my chair, doing nothing. Not what I planned for my day at all. This is maddening…
Im so sorry denamc. I was in bed all weekend. Just couldn't get up to save my life. I was so excited for a long weekend to hang out on my sons boat. I just love when he and his wife include me in their fun. But AGAIN I just couldn't do it. Im so afraid they will stop asking me as so many times I have to back out. Yes it is maddening. A couple of things that I have found help me with the fatigue is a half of addrell. Gives me more energy than I can use. I do over do it when I take it then Im in bed for 2 days but with what I get done, its worth it. Then Im on ultram (tramadol). If I take it appx 4:30 every day I do Not have the night pain. The addrell also helps so much with the brain fog. I can actually get my whole house cleaned in a day. Havent been able to do that in many years. Hope this helps some. Just talk to your doctor about it. Gentle hugs to you

Hi Fuzzy, I'm so sorry that your holiday weekend was not up to par. It's really awful when the pain and/or fatigue makes it impossible for us to follow up on a commitment. I really do.dread commitments for that very reason. So much of the time it feels as if every living cell in my body is being used to fuel me up with energy again because I haven't enough to even keep my mind working. You know what I mean? That state where you feel as if you exist...and nothing more. No thoughts or comments or desires or plans. Just...existing. And so that is why I would like to ask you about addrell. What is it, exactly, and how does it react with your body? I would love to find Sleeping Beauty's wake up pill...oh, yeah, it was a Prince, wasn't it? And Prince Charles is sooooo not my type, heh heh! So any info you can impart on addrell would be appreciated.
Thank you !

Hey there Petunia. The addrell is for ADD. I think maybe we all have some that have fibro. Hence "the fibro fog" All I know is I take a half of one and the energy level is incredible. I find I do over do it so I have to be really careful. What I get accomplished is well worth over doing it at times. I don't take it every day. Just when I want to get something done. LOL AND I can keep my thoughts together. It has been many many years since I have been able to do that.
Thanks for the hug petunia. Fuzzy, most of the time I can make events even if it’s a bad day. Feel crummy at home, or feel crummy out and about.
Fuzzy, that's good info that you've shared. It would be great to be able to get out of the fibro fog when its overwhelming. I didn't know that anything coud cut it. I think I had ADD since I was a kid, so maybe it could kill two birds with one stone? I hope I can remember to ask my doctor about it, lol!!! But thank you kindly for the heads up.
I'm impressed, Dena, that you can still make events. I don't know how you do it because I hate the nausea I get when the pain is overwhelming. You have my admiration for being able to work through it! And please get to feeling bettter. Take a rest this time; it sounds like your body needs it.
