Awake But Not Awake

So today, I barley have the energy to even get up out of bed. I feel so exhasted its crazy! And honestly I feel like down in the dumps today too like not super sad but not cheerful either. Does that make sence? I'm gonna try to get the energy to do something today, but I don't even know if that's possible; I'm sleepy, dizzy when I get up, and down. Oh boy! Any suggestions???



I hope you all are having a great day darlings! Sending loving huggies too all ... xo Lily

Sometimes when I feel that way once I finally get started on tasks I find that movement helps and I keep going for a bit. But with you having the dizziness you need to be careful. Don't need to fall do to it and make matters worse. Take it easy and seriously be careful Lily

No problem Lily, anytime I can anyway. However, I skipped out one detail for me. I am able to cheat by taking my prescribed pain meds. I say cheat in jest though as I don't function w/o it. I am doing ok today thank you. Watching football off and on with daughter now. Take care, Dragon

I fell asleep at the computer and face-planted into the keyboard today. Allegedly while I was "awake". Yeah... Definitely start small. I make sure i drink something hot or really cold and make sure it's got all my electrolytes. (Some electrolyte powders are designed to be made into a hot tea. Hard to find if you don't live near major hiking trails.) THen I do my oxygenation calming breathing... sometimes I discover I'm reallllly tense and that's my main issue, sometimes I needed a bit of hydration, and sometimes I apparently need to take a nap without warning!

Lily - When I first came down with CFS and Fibro, I started feeling dizzy, so I increased my water intake, which helped with the dizziness. Being dehydrated can make a person feel terrible. Hope you feel better soon.

I definitely still feel drained tosay but less so. I slept like 15 hours and I'm still sleepy. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow at 6:20 a.m. :( (Pray for me to wake up)
