I am having it pretty bad this week. Headaches daily, even with the topamax (100 mgs a day). Extreme fatigue. Vertigo. Slurred speech. Slow reactions. Are these a part of fibro also? I don't see the "stupid" neuro for another month, but I do see my doctor next week. I have quit writing in my symptom journal because it just seems useless. Lately, my jaws feel like they are locking up, always tight. My muscles are always tight, I'm always having to mentally relax myself to loosen my muscles. I have not done anything this week as far as house work. I am so disappointed in myself. I did one load of dishes and a couple of loads of laundry. I can tell my hubby's mad at me. But he just doesn't understand. This is physically impossible for me right now. I can't even wash my hair! It hurts to lift my arms to scrub my head, it makes them so tired I can barely move them. Whats up with that? I'm sorry to be so negative. I don't even know how to explain to people how I am feeling, I can't even tell you if any of this makes sense. I am not looking forward to today. I have so much to do today, and I have to do it, it has to be done! Just because I can't stand it anymore. I have an appointment with a mental health doctor for social security next week, I'm a little scared. I have struggled with depression for years. What will they find? What if they don't give me ss? We need it so bad. I know I can't physically work. Let alone mentally. Well, I guess we shall see. Sorry so down friends. Love ya all.

I do hope and pray that you find encouragement right now. When you don\'t feel well the simplest tasks can seem so overwhelming. It is hard when you just don\'t know what you can expect from yourself, so how can your hubby? I am speaking for myself anyway when I am having a difficult day. There will be better days ahead! I am sending you a smile. Maybe that will help you to have one too. Hugs to you.
Sheri...tons of hugs and love coming at you
I hope you start feeling better soon, I will be praying for you extra hard. Good luck w/the mental health dr. I haven\'t been to one yet. Sometimes I feel I need to go to one-ha-ha. Take care Jess
Sheri, I hope you feel better soon. I am with Suz. BUNDLES OF LOVE TO YOU.
Sheri I really wish I could be there to help you. Although today is the first day I had the energy to clean my house in months. I do pray that you feel better soon. You deserve a break and some peace. Love you. kim
Sheri, I am so sorry, I so understand. And dont worry about the doctors you have the grat physician and mighty counselor. He didnt give you a spirit of fear but of power and love and a SOUND MIND!!! You are loved and my arms are so weak I cant fold a whole load of laundry, I fold 2 peices and take a break. We are going to get help, stay in the word and call me, I\'ll call you back and pay for it. Stay strong my friend.
Hi Sherie, please be encouraged. God knows about everything that u are facing right now. Now let us put everything in His very capable hands and trust Him. He knows exactly what do! Continue to write 2 the Lord in your journal, this helps u to release what is bottled up in u. Don\'t worry about the things in the house. The dishes will be alright and the laundry as well. I will be praying that the Lord will touch his heart & help him to understand exactly what u are going thru! OK?? Then he will do the dishes and the laundry! LOL Be Blessed. The Lord loves u very much & so do I! Rest in the Lord and allow Him to comfort u!!
A BIG GIANT HUG!!
Chris
Hi Sherri,
Please don\'t be concerned that you can\'t do everything. I feel terrible today also. Picking up the family room is all I can do right now. Husbands either accept and help out or sit/stew and nothing gets done.
My thoughts are with you.
I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
Sheri: God knows all things, and He knows when you need down time and when you need time just meditating on Him. Dont worry about the laundry, or the dishes, they will wait, YOU are what is important and taking care of your health. I am in bed now as we speak, with headaches and muscle spasms, and I know EXACTLY how you are feeling. It is very humbling to lie here and have others do things around me, but God has you/me here for a reason and I just keep asking myself \"what is He trying to teach me right now?\" I loveyou and miss chatting with you and I hope your up and running soon! Kim
I think you should call your dr.Those symptoms may be a serious drug reaction.God will guide you thru the ss appointment.Please call your dr & let him know what\'s happening to you.It doesn\'t sound right.I am praying for your recovery and good health as well as for a good outcome w/ss.God bless you & those you love.
