Hello.
Stress is a big issue for me, it really does start pain for me. For the last 10 years or so I have been working with homeless people and former offenders.
I have worked people that most would never come into contact with; people who have killed, etc, I could go on but I think you get the idea..
Now that is stressful, yet at the time it was a job, a job I enjoyed. The last month my body has told me, no more stress please..!
I am having the worst flare I have ever had. I was told I had fibro at 16, I am now 48. I was able to cope with the pain before, was always tired, but coped.
Everything is now hurting, I put it down to years of stress. My body has given up. I have also just moved house, so yet more stress. My poor wife is having to do everything. More stress and guilt for me. I have a job waiting for me, same line of work, I cannot do it because of this flare up. And I do not want to do it, because I have learnt the hard way, stress = pain.
I am worried that this time the flare up will not go away. Yet more stress.
You really cannot win, anxiety is also very high. I now do not want to leave the house.
And that stresses me..!
What fun...!
Not.
