Update 25/05/2015

Hey guys. So this week has been a bit of a rollercoaster. Some good days and some bad days...Mostly bad days I would say, I guess I am still trying to get my head around my diagnosis. On Tuesday my mother came to see me, which I think was the best day this week. My mum is the most helpful and amazing person I have ever met. I woke up on Tuesday feeling very dizzy (I know I needed a shower, but I was so scared that I would fall) and when my mum came to my house, she helped me with a few things, she made sure I got in and out of the shower, helped me get changed and then helped me get a few things in town. We also talked about some things that I need to change in my life to help with my Fibromyalgia. She is extremly helpful, as is the rest of my family and my close friends. 

The rest of the week I have been feeling extremely sick (which is a new symptom) and I haven't eaten that much. I have to eat when I feel okay. Which some times means 6am. My fatigue hasn't been that great either, I will wake up and then after about an hour or so, I feel so exshasted that I need to go and lay down again. Not to sleep, but most of the time I am in so much pain, laying in bed is the only place I am the most comfortable. Yesterday (Sunday) I don't think I got out of bed most of the day. I just ended up watching YouTube most of the day, and dozing off listening to Harry Potter audiobooks. 

I guess I need to start taking days one step at a time, it's going to take a while to get to grips with things and I think one of the things that I can do is to start writing a diary/journal, and make sure I make a note of the things I eat, what I drink and the exersise and things that I do during the day. Also I need to make sure that I write down how much sleep I get. Hopefully it will give me an insight into if any food or drink makes my Fibro flare up.

I don't have much planned this week. My grandparents are coming home from their holiday to Tenerife on Tuesday, and I should be seeing them late this week or early next week. I cannot wait to see them. It's so strange, just being with them, even if we are just sitting on the sofa, it makes me feel so much better. I cannot wait until my husband and I move back down to Thatcham in June, because that will mean I am only 20 minutes away from my family and 10 minutes away from my best friend, and I really believe that it will help my with my illness, but I guess we will have to wait and see.

So that is my last week. Not the best week, but I have to find the positive in life. I will write another update next week. Have a great week guys.
