Fibro or flu?
Extra sick. I am so extra sick and have been so for over a week. The fact that I have severe fibro leaves me with an awful lot of daily challenges to overcome and/or adapt to.
However, this is flu season and I may have a flu on top of the fibro. I suspect this because of the shortness of breath, stomach pain & diarrhea, constant headache, and debilitating fatigue, steady for over a week and last night I actually heard a bit of wheezing in there, so, I suspect a flu. It is really difficult to differentiate sometimes.
If anyone wants to know what it is like to live with severe fibro, ask them how they feel when they have a flu and how they would feel if this flu thing never went away.
Well, off to bed again shortly to read and rest until this thing eases up. I am thankful that I have a safe, quiet place to go to get the rest I need.

Thank you spirit, I have recovered from a very nast flu on top of other permanent chronic illnesses. Whew! guess i am stronger now, eh! Hope your day is a great one, if not, well, that you are the warrior you need to be in these challenging times. Hugs. :)
I hope you are feeling better :) I can\'t imagine having to live with severe fibro. You are a very strong individual and I am glad we met at DS.
