shannonjudisky I just got diagnosed wednesday. I decided to post about once a week, more or less. I figured track my days. I am so tired today. A year ago I was training for a 5k, my first ever. Today I dragged myself to the gym, did a 20 minute workout and sat in the hot tub for about a half an hour. It was all I could handle. This depresses me. I am in pain, although the water did relieve that. I am tired, which the exercise did not help at all. My partner wants a date tonight, and I just don't have the energy. I took out 4 books from the local library, ordered 2 more, and I am off to start learning about this. If I have the energy.
I am so tired, I can't keep a thought in my head for five minutes. I have felt like this for months, actually I noticed it first when training for the 5k. I will never be able to run. Not again. I have felt like this in the past, but at least now I have a name for what is wrong with me. Ten years of being told I was a hypochondriac by my old doctor, and well, I could have been treating this. I am angry about the years of non-diagnosis. I am tired. I am going to get better. I may never be totally fibro-free, but I will feel better. I have to be determined about this, because if I don't I'll want to kill myself. I will accomplish remission. Now I am learning about what I have been living, and what else to do to treat it.

Breaking from what I should do

Feb 06 2012

for the past few years I have done everything my doctor told me to, including limiting foods, excluding foods, losing weight and exercising regularly. I have used less medications and had less painfrom diong this. In short: I know this is the right thing to do.

 Then  for the past 10 days I threw my hands up, and said to hell with it all. I ate what I wanted, lounged around, and did little to no exercise. I went to all my old fast-food haunts, and ate all kinds of food. To be fair I did reign things in a little by using the book: "Eat this, not that." However I feel like absolute garbage.

I went to the pool today, and had no energy. I couldn't sleep last night. I have this aweful fatigue. My belly hurts, I have terrible diaharrhea, and I even vomited once. My general malaise is overwhelming. My skin itches, and I have broken skin from scratching it.

 That said, I know I did it to me. I just hate that I can not eat like a normal person eats, and that I NEVER will be able to. I will get back on track, I am already on my way there. I began this weeks meal plan today, even if it was a little late. I didn't plan at all those 10 days. I miss that carefree lifestyle.  The trade-off is not worth it though.

I didn't impede my weightloss by that much (I'm sure the stomace upset helped that) but I just gave myself a major setback. now of course, I feel guilty, sorry for myself, and like I am my own worst enemy. I just needed a place where I could vent, and say these things.

I hate being gluten free.

I hate having food allergies/intolerances.

I hate being a diabetic.

I hate having Fibromyalgia which makes me work out every day.

I hate my arthritis, scoliosis, reynauds, and every other diagnosis I have.

I don't hate me.

I am not my diagnosis, and I will get past this stage in my life. I will find a better way to poison myself, than with food. Not that I am actively looking, but that is what I did, and I need to 'own' that.
