One of those days

well. today is one of those days. it's difficult to describe to someone who doesn't have a chronic illness such as fibromyalgia - but here's my best attempt. i'm tired. overwhelmingly tired. i couldn't get out of bed until almost 3:00 this afternoon and now i'm out of bed and i want to go back. My strongest feeling is guilt as i've had to ask my dad to get A and take him to his house for dinner. and i will also miss dinner with my brother and his family which makes me sad.

my back hurts. i've been taking my pain medication and my back still has pain out of control. my brain is fuzzy. i'm trying new allergy medication and my nose is very dry.

"the shoulds" are taking over. i should get out of bed. i should try my hardest. i should ignore the pain. i should be with my family.

but not today. today i rest and feel alone. such is this illness.

Hey - Same from me. I am educating myself on FM and it really must suck. I had no idea what you've been dealing with. Remember, you have friends. :)
