I usually make sure I have had all my meds, and I go to bed. If it's bedtime I go for the night. If it's not bedtime, I take a long nap. That way, I protect the innocent AND myself. A huge part of this Fibro condition for me is my rest. And MY REST is important to maintain and make my marriage thrive.

My husband said he'd like to go to dinner this evening, and suggested a place we both enjoy, in said I'd need a nap and he was fine with me sleeping. He knows I'm at my best when rested. Plus he gets to do "man things" while I am asleep. We both win!

I hate getting agitated and the other person wants to joke around unaware of the timing being way off for me. Especially when I try to get away when I feel it coming on.

I must be stressed and agitated 24/7 lol ive been on my current crash for 2 yrs. Not one good day but i have me. Fm Oe op

Yes I need my rest also otherwise I can't function I get very frustrated I go to bed early and I have to get up early to go to work so I need my 8 hours of sleep people laugh but they just don't understand I need that rest

Yes and I get stuck in a frantic effort to clean until I do crash. This is a good/bad thing. I get something done. Lol
