hi how does fibro affect you and what advice could you give me as i am not very mobile with it and always in severe agonising pain andd am mostly bed bound and at 36 years of age thats depressing

the other we have to learn to do is pace ourselves, so we dont over do things and end up in more pain and in bed for days. paceing is you may hoover 1 day dust another washing another, just doing a tiny bit so as not to leave yourself exhausted. fibro is different for us it affects us all differently so what may suit 1 may not suit another. we all trying different ways and different things to find what works and what doesnt. fibro varies also in person to person in the severity of it so person may have it mild another person may have it at an extreme level. Im at the extreme level hope Ive been of some help to you from my experiences with this horrid condition take care  

you have im right up the with you its at the point where it could go 1 of 2 ways suicide cause the pain is so unbearable or bed bound crying in agony till it puts you to sleep we ll for me suicide is never an option and is never the answer as you hurt the ones you leave behind and im always the second option just have to find ways to deal with it and adapt to it and mobility is the main issue for me at the moment but i will call the relivent people to help out with my mobility issues so i wont be in bed all day and can try to get out the flat x

and guys please note suicide is not the answer spread that message to all you know with fibro as so mant people worldwide have taken there own lives cause of this horrible condition but its not the answer if anyone out there has thought about it please talk about it please dont do it

I find if I can get out my husband takes me for a short drive out on a weekend. I find it helps by being out,  your out in other surroundings and out of 4 walls, it certainly helps me when I can get out and helps to lift my spirit On the sunday I found this forum I was very very low infact desperate. just felt I could no longer take no more. Suicide did enter my head but then you stop and think about your loved ones I cant leave my husband behind I stumbled across this forum its been a god send. as I was able to talk to people that have the same condition and fuly understand how your feeling and what your going through it has helped me enormously Im so thankful I found it the people on the forum are great we support each other as best as we can through sharing our experiences of fibro.what we do to try and make our lives more bearable.

Hi Kaz

I really feel for you about the way your feeling right now,

I know it's very hard and extremely painful and very easy to become depressed as it seems to be a circle that we keep reliving,

Please talk to your GP about how your feeling suicidal thoughts of any kind are not normal and you appear to be very low at the moment,

Your among friends here but professional help is very important

Sending you gentle hugs.

Hi Leona putting fibro to 1 side Ive had a few rough weeks with different things going on in my life. Ive suffered with depression for a while since having fibro its made it worse. I had a chat to my gp when I saw her last month shes keeping a very close eye on me. I wouldnt do anything because I love my husband too much I know the full impect it would have on him. he is what keeps me going, and chatting to you ladies also especially to do with the fibro is a very big help. Im a fighter Ive battled through many things.its just the fibro hasnt helped the depression.onwards upwards I will get through it. Thank you for your concern take care gentle hugs 

Keep fighting Kaz. I have had some major personal battles in my life, and right now I am hanging on by my finger tips......but I will not give in! I am having a really bad afternoon, having over done it this morning, cleaning and tidying before my line manager and HR person come out tomorrow! I am not house proud (thank goodness) but I thought I should tidy up a bit! I am not worried about them coming I have nothing to hide, I just hope the fog that's been so thick this week allows me to say what needs to be said, and I will write things down so I remember what they've said! For now, it's curled up on the sofa with my 3 hot water bottles waiting for the worse back spasm ever to pass! 

Onwards and upwards! 

Hope all goes well with your line manager and HR tomorrow. Just be yourself. Stay calm and positive and enjoy your evening.

Gentle hugs wink x

Totally agree with you Kaz. Pacing oneself is the way forward.

One day at a time and one chore at a time. We are NOT robots!!!

Hope the fog isnt bad for you tomorrow. Write down what you want say then write down what they say at least then you have proof of whats been said on both sides. take care gentle hugs onwards upwards
