Title: Flaring! Flaring!
Post by: shevonne on October 24, 2010, 03:09:28 AM
I thought I must me getting a sinus infection or something but it has been a week now.  I am just feeling really crappy!  I feel like I got the freakin flu!  I think I must be flaring!  Maybe thats why my lymph nodes are all swollen up and they cant figure out why.  I just feel awful.  I'm awake every hour!  I cant sleep and my mind is racing!  My sister just found out she has breast cancer, my aunt has bone cancer and my mind wants to tell me that I have it when my doctor tells me that I dont (none that they can see).  Meanwhile, I just want to feel good, ugggh!  Work is entirely stressful!  Whew!  Needed to get that out but still achy; achy; achy; achy!!!!  Winter will not be good!

You sound as if you know you want to do something but aren't doing it. What if you go ahead and do whatever it is?

Apologies in advance if I have it all wrong.

Here's hoping you all feel better soon.

Also wish you some peace and relief! May be a flare...if you are stressed at work that doesn't help. I'm sure you already know that, and sometimes it's impossible to get away from. If you can try to learn to calm yourself, it can help the pain.

Try to get all the rest you can, and rest your mind. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Let it out...this is the place to do it...hope it helps if even just a little bit!

As you already know, if you have stress in your life already (work and family) it just aggravates your symptoms more causing more pain which causes more stress which causes more pain........etc......etc....!  :(

Take good care of yourself and I hope you start to feel better soon....try to relax your body and mind as much as you can in whatever way you can!
