I am soooo exhausted after a appointment I crash bigtime.I can not sleep the night before..and after the appointment I have a major Fibro flare..This happens for any appointment,,,I know its crazy but that is what happens to me.
Same here🙄Especially if I need to fill out forms!

I do the same. I find any appt. exhausting.
I takes all my energy to get there and back home.
and then to remember all that was said.
honestly depends on the type of appointment. Ultrasounds and bloodwork scare the daylights out of me. But chats with my doctor tend to make me more hopeful, every appointment is one step closer to an answer. Thats my little slogan to keep me calm : ) But seriously if your anxiety over appointments are getting the better of you, bring someone who calms you down, have something to do afterwards (like new epsom salts or a favourite food), bring a little toy thingy (a fidget thing) or do some breathing exercises. You are not crazy for struggling with appointments. They are EXHAUSTING. As hard as it is keep as calm as you can, itll help.
Yes! Always! For me it’s the not knowing if my body can muscle up the energy. I give myself little self talks to get through it🤗💜🦋🌿
stress and anxiety can bring on flares. I do the same thing, and then I have to cancel plans because I have a flare up, because I am supposed to go out. its a stupid circle.
