I feel so bad for my husband, because most of the time I'm not much of a wife. I just can't keep up with my life and wifely duties, especially when the weather is changing as it has been lately. I know I need to fight through this and keep moving, but that so much easier said than done. I do feel as though I'm doing better than I was a year ago at this time. I can probably give that credit to cymbalta and to my wonderful husband that helps motivate me and get me going everyday.
Fibromyalgia really puts a damper on my social life and my fun. I was suppose to do some fun Halloween type stuff over this past weekend and was not able to participate because it was too cold and rainy and I was too achey and felt like poop. I slept all day long Sunday. That was my "sleep catch up day" this week. My husband tried to wake me up several times and I just couldn't wake up. It was almost like I was under sedation, I was just THAT TIRED. I guess you could call it a "fibro crash", because I had absolutely no energy left, just enough to breathe and rest.
I could really go for a symptom reprieve at this point. i need a break. I'm sick of feeling like crap. I'm sick of the aches all over my body. I'm sick of every time I eat my stomach freaking out. I'm sick of waking up with sore throats and my entire body throbbing like I have the worst flu imaginable. I'm sick of disappointing my loved ones, because I don't feel up to doing what ever it is we had planned to do. I am just plain sick and tired of the fibromyalgia that plagues my life. I'm also sick of complaining about it.
