So, since New Year's Eve, I've felt horrible. Spent all of New Year's Day in bed with the heating pad and hot packs. Got up the next day, but ended up in bed part way through the day. Yesterday was the same. This morning, its even worse. Not sure if its my Fibro or my RA, but I'm assuming my Fibro because its more muscle pain than joint pain. The fatigue is all consuming and I'm supposed to cook a turkey today. Hubby may end up having to do it. I go back to work tomorrow after being off since Christmas Eve and I'm not sure how its going to happen when I can barely stand up for more than 10 minutes at a time. And of course on top of all the pain, my depression and anxiety are ramped up because of being so useless. I've done absolutely nothing with my family on vacation. We were supposed to go to a bonfire last night and there was no way I was going out anywhere. I really hate my body.
That's what I feel like....a slug. I'm looking at my messy house that I need to be straightening up, and here I sit in bed! I'm thinking I need to get out and get with some friends, and I don't feel like calling anyone. They sure as heck don't call me anymore! That's a whole other story and another reason for depression!
I will pray for you. I'm sorry you feel so bad and you have to go back to work tomorrow. Bless you!
