I have had a couple of quite busy days and so have been soooo tired this afternoon,in fact so tired that I fell asleep at the dinner table and if Anthony hadn't caught me I would have landed straight in my chicken salad!!!!!!
I mean what on this earth is going on with me at the moment???One day I can't stop crying,then the next day I'm just falling asleep where I stand(or sit)!!And yet when it comes to getting into bed and settling down for the night I seem to be instantly awake??
I find it hard to find a comfortable position as I hurt and then I lay there and wait,my neck and shoulders and the tops of my arms are soo painful and my knees hurt and the more tired I get,the more I hurt as I am so sure that you all can appreciate and understand so HOW do I break this viscious circle of pain,tiredness,more pain,more tiredness???????????
I have an appointment tomorow for nerve conduction studies and am quite nervous about it so there's no chance of a decent sleep tonight but ti is amazing how little sleep we can survive on eh!?!
My poor partner is getting more and more frustrated as each time he goes to cuddle me or to touch me all he gets in return is "OW" The tiredness and the pain is so much for me to deal with alongside everyday life that Making love is just a no go with me,and we are both frustrated and miss being able to be intimate with each other.
I even cringe when our 6year old heads towards me for a hug,and I have to grit my teeth and suffer for my daughters sake.
I still have not heard from the pain clinic and am left with no profesional support and my next to useless gp just gives out repeat scripts and sick notes without even bothering to ask how I am or offering any kind of support.
As I am newto fibro as only told by my rhumy a couple of months ago and I am so truly thankful for all of the wonderful people on this site and all the information that I have been able to acess on fibro thanks to you all.
I love you all and can not begin to tell you how fortunate I feel to be able to let it out here and talk to people who 'know' and so therefore really do understand.
I hurt too much now so am going to take more meds and TRY and sleep!
Luvs ya all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

First i really think you need a new GP!! Find someone who will listen. Good Luck with the pain doctor, i see mine tomorrow, my 2nd visit. I had a bad reaction to the first drug, so something new this time, i hope it works. I have had fibro 7 1/2 yrs & would get really bad in spring & fall, the rest of the time i hurt everyday. Now with the mixed connective tissue problem, i am really in pain, joints, muscles & everything. I wish i had great advice to give you, but i just kept on going until i couldn't go anymore & had to quite work last Oct. I pray you find the help you need. Being tired all the time is very hard to deal with, all i can say is rest when you can. Hugs & Love, Deb
