Re: Body signals/nap needed immediately

[Guest guest]

I feel like I hit what I call my fibro wall. I am overcome by extreme

exhaustion and my mind just stops working and I get severe pain in specific

places. I feel as if I don't lie down I'll just collapse right where I'm

standing or sitting and pass out. It's really the pits when I'm not home and at

the mall or in a store. It's the reason I don't go out by myself much anymore.

I also have the " falling asleep a couple of hours after I get out of bed "

situation at times. I hadn't really realized it was particularly a symptom of

fibro, but of course I should have. I always just thought I was weird when it

happened. Why would I just have to go to sleep when I'd just been up a little

while? Had to be just me! I'm sorry this is happening to you too, but I have

to say it is kind of comforting to know it's not just me.

Take care of yourself,

Marti

Hi,

I am Sherri in Aurora, CO. I just wanted to respond

to this strand. I just had one of those marathon sleep

things today. My questions is, do any of you have the

warning sign that it is going to be one of those

marathon sessions? I do. About 10 minutes before I

crash, I start shaking and feeling desperate to lay

down.

I also feel like the plug has been pulled and it usually is not too

long after I got out of bed. It was much worse when I was drinking

diet sodas. Since reading everyone else's post I realize I've had

fibromyalgia much longer than I thought. It just gotten worse with

each accident and traumatic experience until someone finally put a

label on it.

I'm right there with you today Jeanne. I had to call in because I simply could

NOT get up this morning This is not good for me as I HAVE to work. My boss,

when he gets back tomorrow, is not going to be pleased. However I have asked if

I can go on four ten-hour days (I work 9 hour days now and have every other

Friday off) and have every Friday off. That will give me 3 days at home to rest.

2 days just doesn't seem to be enough.

I am out of muscle relaxers until I see my PCP on 5/1. I had a full

prescription and I believe my cleaning lady stole them when I fired her. She's

the only one that has been in the house. Yea, I'm real happy about that - not! I

have no proof so I'm out.

I hope you feel better soon.

Hugs

Oh I'm so sorry that you are going through this so young and with a two

year old. You should be pain free and feeling great and being able to enjoy

every miinute of being a mother. I just hate it that so many in this group are

struggling so young with this damned illness.

It is a really nasty phenomenon, isn't it! Who would ever understand it but

all of us!

Take care of yourself and that baby,

Marti

Hi Marti,

I guess I didn't explain that too good.....I'm a nanny and the 2 year old is my

baby that I care for!!! I'm 57, but she feels like she's mine...I've watched her

since before she was born!!! I was never lucky enough to have kids, but being a

nanny has blessed me over the years with lots of them!!! My first one I took

care of just got married at the age of 22 and I still keep in touch with the

family. That is so neat. I do hate seeing them all grow up though.

Take care,

/Mi
