Re: Help. Mental/physical breakdown. LS? Linz? anyone?       05/19/04 02:35 AM Edit Reply Quote Linz Reged: 09/01/03 Posts: 8242 Loc: England Oh honey! That sucks big time. Don't freak out hon, when you're having a crappy time, just cry all you want (I'd just suggest lying down first as crying wipes me out! ). Sounds like you're in a bad patch with your Fibro (not meaning to point out the obvious!). I got like that last fall. Seems like sometimes it all gets too much for your body and the "flare-up" just goes on and on (LS, do you get that too?). But I came out of that spell and you will too. It's almost like a relapsing-remitting disease that way. Don't get me wrong, I still have bad days atm, but they're not EVERY day like they were then. Maybe talking to your boss about taking longer-term sick-leave for a month or something would be an idea? Re the whole standby thing when you wake-up, I have it all the time with my flare-ups. Usually I'll get up feeling not great, but workable, but by the time I'm out of the shower and getting dressed, I'll just keel over! I know it sounds nuts (and I don't exactly follow my own advice all the time!) but have you tried yoga when you're having a bad day? Obviously, if you can't get out of bed, then it's not much of an option. But I did a class once when I was at work and hardly able to move and it really helped. Amazing! I think you need a teacher to make you do something other than corpse pose, though! Thinking of corpse pose, do you lie like this when you can't sleep? I've found that on a bad day, lying in corpse pose actually rests me more than sleeping (because it'd be crappy sleep ). Make sure you conserve your energy too. I get so bored when I can't move out of bed, that as soon as I have the energy, I want to be and and doing stuff (even if it's only reading a book), but I've found that doing that ain't a good idea for me - it just sets me back. So I try and make myself lie there doing nothing. Though music keeps me sane! I'm thinking of getting an electric blanket for the days when the heating pad just isn't big enough! It's crazy, isn't it? Anyway, hope you're feeling a bit better today. If anything here doesn't make sense, it's cos my Fibro frog has been eating my brain all w/e! Love ya hon.
