Flare ups!

So the last couple of days haven't been the best for me. I have been feeling a lot worse than I usually am, my pain has intensified and my fatigue is so much worse. But I didn't know how bad it was until this morning. I woke up and I was feeling okay, but around 10am I started to feel horrendous. I was in so much pain, probably the worse I had been in for  a year or so, and my brain functions were terrible, I couldn't speak properly and I would forget things. I was terrified as this had never happened to me before. I called my mum in tears (she is a life saver) and she told me to make an emergency doctors appointment, which I did and within 30 minutes she was by my side making sure I was okay! 

She took me to the doctors, and my new doctor is amazing, she has a brilliant knowledge of Fibromyalgia and she checked everything to make sure it wasn't something else. She told me it was just a intense flare up and she changed my meds so I'm back on Tramadol which makes me so drowsy and out of it but it does help the pain. 

My mum then took me home, made me lunch and then snuggled with me on the sofa while I watched TV. When I couldn't keep my eyes open she went home, but she has been talking to me all day and making sure I'm alright, she is also coming tomorrow to spend the day with me. When my husband came home from work he has been amazing, helping me make dinner and checking that I have everything I need ect. I couldn't ask for anyone better! 

I am feeling a little better and hopefully I will sleep well tonight and feel a little refreshed in the morning..I will update you soon! Thank you
