God I feel like that everyday, but I try to get the energy up and do it. It might be 3pm but I'll get it done.

Ohh God it's like that every day, I m so tired all the time the pain has gotten so bad I haven't the energy to even lift my arms. I a bad bad state I ve went 2 weeks without showering jys bathing in a sink and even that I found exausting, am currently like this at the moment in so much pain round my chest area and my bowels are so not co operating. All honestly I don't know how much more of this I can cope with mentally. Hugs to you all xx

I have a list of things to try & do everyday, & get out of bed is the first thing. Exercise, meditate, shower, eat, clean up, put dogs in & out, sort mail, do 1 load of laundry--some days Im lucky if Im out of bed by 3pm- and do 2/3 other things on my list.

Yes, but have found what my brain wants to do and what is best for me are two totally different things and will affect me in very different ways. Many times (for years) I've struggled to get out of bed and get on with my day because of these very symptoms. BUT I have found that if I throw on my workout clothes and get on the treadmill at a very slow pace & gradually increase over a 15 minute period with some good music on at a low level, I feel much better. It may have to do with circulation or body chemicals but I am better than laying around (which causes me to be much more sore)! Showering after treadmill with a drop or two of an uplifting essential oil in the shower like Wild Orange or Peppermint can truly invigorate your senses and give you the boost in mood & motivation needed. This is not a cure all, but a little something that can make Fibro Life a little bit better. Gentle hugs & chin up! <3

How do we feel better??? I get so frustrated! My mood goes from good to bad to hopeless and depressed. I'm angry at my body, my doctors, my choosing to have back surgery almost 4 years ago... I'm very bitter and sad...
