I read an article about a woman with fibro who was trying to describe why since she got ill she can't face cooking. She was saying the same thing over and over but in different words. I've tried to explain it but like the woman couldn't get my feelings into words. Does anyone else feel the same and how would you describe how you feel.

I think food smells are tougher now for me. My hearing, smell, taste, etc. are all super sensitive since I have had fibro. And sometimes cooking just takes too much energy, eh?
Sorry about that hit wrong button but, food is the last thing on my list ever, I have people remind me constantly to eat I just don't want to eat and most of the time the smell makes me sick . I hope this helps some ....,, Tear
Cooking is a love I have had since I was about 7. Sometimes my fibro is so bad that I have trouble standing in the kitchen to prepare a meal. Sometimes when I am feeling good I will make something really good and purposely cook extra so when I am not feeling good These freezer meals can either go into the oven or the microwave for a delicious, and nitrustious meal.
I really need my VCR so I can play old VHS exercise tapes to get me moving. The more I move the easier it is on me. Standing in one spot for even 15 minutes is too hard for me that is when the bologna sandwiches and chips are supper.
Hi Yanto, I have had the same problem with loss of appetite. I've always been one to not really get hunger pains,or desire to eat until I realized due to symptoms, like you said, feeling shaky etc, then I realized how long it had been since I ate last.
I will say I noticed since being in pain and on such heavy pain meds, my appetite isn't very good. But just the last few days, after I eat, I've been getting an upset stomach. Might be because I've been sick all weekend and now, with an upper respiratory infection etc. I'm finding it difficult to eat at times. I don't know if you take any kind of med for gastric reflux, but the meds we have to take just to function, can be pretty irritating on the stomach. Might want to ask your Dr about a med like Pepcid, Protonix, Prilosec. May help you tolerate eating better. Best of luck. Barb / BCRN
Yes, I am so confused myself as to what is going on! Each day is different and I struggle to tell people what is going on with me. If something doesn't happen today, I forget about it. Plus it doesn't help to have fibro fog
