I’m exhausted. So exhausted that it’s bothering me at how exhausted I’m feeling. Fibromyalgia exhaustion isn’t simple tiredness, it’s a heavy, unrelenting fatigue that feels like it’s taken root in every cell. On flare days, it’s like even blinking requires monumental effort. My body aches, my thoughts fog, and everything around me feels out of [...]

My Fibro fog plan
So today I came up with a genius idea to deal with my Fibro fog which lately has been pretty much increasing. Daily I’m tired and feel like everything I do is a huge effort. Things have been changing in my body as well. My one elbow has a funny moment now and then and [...]
Hang
Tired, got to hang!
This day
The picture doesn't give away my story. So I'll tell you about it. I'm sat on the bus headed home and part of me is smiling and the other part is a little in disbelief. Today I had a meeting and instead of walking out feeling how I thought I might. The outcome was far [...]
Just waiting
It's been 3 days since I put in my formal request to work from home. I haven't even had an acknowledgement. It's called flexible working. There are great business positives for it and I've addressed all the cons in the application so they're answered before the questions arise. However the most important reason for me [...]
Chilling
This week is an incredibly crazy week trying to get things done at work and home. I'm currently struggling as the pain seems to be much worse than normal. Each task seems to be a lot harder to do as a result. My spine is telling me it's had enough. I cannot wait till Sunday. [...]

Potentially they need to rule out that they haven't labelled me with Fibro when I could have something else going on. Ive been given a huge drug [...]
A Fibro flare up.
Hump day today. Not only is it Wednesday but I also have the hump. An expression meaning I'm not in a great mood. I've woken up on the wrong side of tired and feeling prickly today. Never a good combination as I know the day will drag. By prickly I don't mean I've got my [...]
Coffee again and Fibromyalgia
Todays Coffee with Isa is one I was asked to talk about and took me a number of times to sit down and talk about without getting all emotional and blubby. I still managed to do that but I spare you those visuals by overlaying my pixel woman. It is a condition I do have [...]
She pouts.
It's Thursday and I'm as always on my bus ride to work. I'm due to spend most of my day in union related meetings. I've decided this cannot possibly be, as I'm far from being really awake today. I'm actually rarely that alert anyhow due to a low B12 deficiency which can affect memory as [...]
