Fibro is winning at the moment!

The beauty of fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis is just when you think you gain the upper hand, the diseases rear its head again.

• Was it the small piece of beef in the bite of Subway sandwich I took?
• Was it the stress of finishing the thesis and looking for a job?
• Was it the heat of a summer afternoon?
• Did I take a walk that was too long?
  

Whatever it was, it resulted in me feeling fatigued, aching all over, warm and not able to focus on anything. I just feel like on the verge of a big fever/flu.

And the frustration of all these? My husband still can’t see why I am so fatigued! He thinks that it is the usual Sunday morning feeling of not wanting to get out of bed. The truth is I am desperate to get up and get things done!
