Awake and up all night

Fatigue is one of those things people think they know but that they really have to try on for size ... and then discover they can't take it off again, before they really know.

It is not like being tired. It is not like being really tired. I have fibromyalgia... fatigue is like a flat battery and can just pffft! 

It also means, just like our phones, we can look like we are ok kuz the lights are on but there's nowt behind the buttons that can happen kuz the 1% is keeping the lights on.

News flash, surprisingly, the terribly obvious solutions that apparently we need to be told about, such as an early night, fresh air, splashing your face with cold water and 'just getting on with it' ... don't work!

Who knew! Err ... we did. The aforementioned cures don't unbreak a leg either!

Cheers 

Evening I am not feeling too good tonight. Very tired and low mood. Hope everyone is as well as can be expected.xx

Sorry to hear that Soc. I know my mood goes down when I feel tired so hopefully lots of rest and being kknd to yourself will help you get your strength up.

Hopefully, tomorrow will be better for you.

Sending lots of love and hugs xxx

Thank you so much Julie. Shimmering has just done a post on fatigue and it sounds like I feel. I understand the low mood Julie just feel like crying. Sending you big hugs and love.xxx

Hi Dingg,

Lovely to hear from you. I don't think being strong means that you don't struggle.I have seen that you have strength in bucket loads in the way you support everyone. There is a real kindness in you.I am sending you all my love and hugs. Always come on here when you want support.

Hi oh thank you very much for your kind thoughts. I just want it done now and hopefully have a good outcome when i have ct scan enc if august. All i can do i hope isnt it. 

Oh bless you the things our body snd minds cope with on this journey is truly remarkable. But sleep helps to soothe us thats for sure. As does getting out from the four walls and having a chat 

Big hugs

Evening Sonia, I've just opened my eyes again after an involuntary nap of an hour or so. I feel a bit better for it. Sometimes I find that a short time of feeling tired, 'off' or under the weather gives a golden opportunity to welcome any improvement. This dubious way of mentally twisting things helps me to stay sane. Note: my definition of sanity may not work for others .  Love and hugs to you, hoping that you have much nicer night and a perky tomorrow.  Ray xxx

Hi thank uou very much i am truly hoping to just finish this ladt cycle and hopefully move on with life. 

It is all so difficult to cope with isnt it. 

Evening Ray thank you for your kind reply. I will take your advice and try to have a nap.i am glad it works for you.hope you have a quiet and peaceful evening. Sending lots of love.xxx

Aw lovey

If you need it, and it sounds like you do, then get plenty of rest and sleep. Grab a beverage of choice and relax for a bit, then you might be ready to climb the wooden hill.

I don't like to think of you being down sweetheart, but like Julie said after some quiet rest you might feel more like it in the morning. If you'd rather chat here then no problem at all.

I have got a great tip to induce instant, comatose-like kip but I'm not sure it'd go down a storm. Do a OH and put the cricket on. Yep, I feel I could be out like a light right now with the constant clacking of the damn ball on bat, but TLC is looming so can't. Shucks.

Whatever you decide hon, know we're thinking of you. Hugs and much love xxx
