i'm laying in bed right now as i'm typing this. it's so bad again i just want to cry out of exhaustion and ​​frustration. my whole legs feel like they are being weighed down against my bed in aches. ankles all the way up. sometimes my toes will even ache. i feel lots on my arms as well and wrists but my legs are really strong. ​

i take magnesium every night​​​​​​ and consume daily turmeric and ginger along many other things that support the joints and aches. but i can never seem to understand this completely. it genuinely feels like getting the flu every month and sometimes it's hard to even tell whether or not i​ actually am coming down with something. it's been rainy and so that is something that i do know triggers it aa bit but this is extra bad this time. i do stand on my feet for hours at my new job now.​

to anyone reading this, what are you starting to understand about your own body and flare ups? do you understand them better now? do you know your triggers and can you tell the difference between actual sickness and just fibro flaring up as usual? in need of comfort and advice!!​​

stuffy nose, not snotty though, slight scratchy throat like a dusty tickle and tiredness​. i'm getting body aches as well but i have fibromyalgia so aches are a daily common thing for me but they feel a little more constant today and yesterday. i work again and i'm on my feet for hours so i'm just not really sure​​​. i can't really tell the difference between a cold or allergies):

oh my gosh am i the only one who is upset with how everyone was dogging on Liz? i mean look at the goop face Sophie. she kept making faces at Liz whenever Liz was talking and so was Julia. they are all fake haters and i'm so confused as to why slow headed Cortney had to bring that up about Jamal like who friccin cares everyone is so hypocritical and fake it's crazy​​. then Sophie tries to say how Liz sabotaged​​​​​ her relationship with Pedro like how can one be so clueless? i always felt like Sophie was jealous of Liz because she had success with Vila dude i don't know how to spell his name. even though they didn't end up together they had a connection and left on good terms, and now Liz is engaged. Unlike goop face Sophie. nobody is perfect but i always seen the genuine empathetic heart of Liz. the audacity Julia had to call her "fake" with her feelings over the dude. i don't know why but it angered me so much. maybe it's because with Liz being sick and everything else on top. ​​​

this is kinda new because i would only ever get really bad pre period flu but now im getting post period flu like feelinga especially this cycle. the same exact things i feel before my period but im getting more headaches which is new for me. im still spotting but it's not a lot and it's a brown color now. ​i just overall feel like crap and that "period flu" feeling

i'm having sharp cramping pains specifically on the left side of abdomen and nausea. it's not the first time ive felt this but it's worrying more this time because ever since i found outout my dad was last throwing up last Tuesday night, ive been feeling extremely anxious. i haven't been eating as much or been feeling amazing since Wednesday.​​​ im ending my period but this isn't a period type cramping. im scared i could've gotten something but ive been feeling sick for days and today was more of an extra anxious day because my cat got surgery and just other stressful personal situations. but im just feeling nauseous and extremely sleepy tired right now and weak with that sharp pain..i haven't been sleeping good and i woke up early today at 7 to leave to the vet. so i just don't know. how do you guys tell the difference between actual sickness? im just feeling like crap overall ): ​​​​

it's either like 48 hours or 78 or 2 weeks or 1 week or 3 days of a bugs still being contagious ?​​​​​ my dad has been away since Monday and was throwing up atat the camper, not in our home (thankfully). the last time he threw up was Tuesday night and he finally came back home yesterday morning. i look it up if he's still contagious and some places say yes and some say no. some say yes only through stool then others say his salvia or just his whole being???lol ugh

im scared because he's not very hygienic and he has a chronic cough where he doesn't cover his mouth. ive been on my period so i already dont feel well and nauseous):

please helppppp​

i've been in a pretty bad state since last night and today after learning my dad has been sick. i haven't had one like this in a while i believe i was doing pretty decent until this came up. ): i'm trying everything to stay calm and get by but i'm having a hard time. i've had nausea just sitting in my stomach all day and night from the anxiety and fears of what ifs. im on my period as well which doesn't help ​so i just wanted to make a post asking for advice and tips on what helps you get by and things you keep reminding yourself. it'll help a lot! thank youuuu​​

frustration post): my dad left Monday evening to our camper for personal reasons but today my mom just told me that he's been throwing up all last night there and pooping badly. i tried asking when it started and stuff and the story just kept changing so now it's just the complete unknown now): he got it from someone he smoked​​ with​​ last Friday i think ​​​because that person was also throwing up previously. my mom said my dad didn't start showing "slight" symptoms until​ Monday? but his stomach was empty so it wasn't really a concern but last night was the "peak". he might come back home tomorrow and that's not even close to 48/a week ​​after the last symptoms..and my mom won't even tell me if he was throwing up today at all or not either): im already basically assuming he'll get others sick here because he doesn't cover his mouth when coughing and he's just not very hygienic with hand washing and the moment i think of a stomach bug i think absolutely everything is a contamination mess!! 🐛🐞👾

i'm crying while typing this because of the frustration. my mom gets mad at me whenever i freak out or cry and just tells me "people get sick" yes exactly i know that but that doesn't mean it's something i want to happen. it's something you can prevent. ive already been sick twice this year and i'm finally working again so i don't want any risks..so im just completely exhausted with life.):

just sad and ranting​​

i get on and off constipation due to zofran and whenever i finally start breaking up the constipation i start to get really mushy mud pie type pooh (sorry tmi) i wouldn't say completely diarrhea but google says mushy pooh is the early stages.

so im wondering does anyone else experience this? is this a normal thing after constipation?

i'm wondering if im not the only one. where i'm from a lot of kids get their license at 15/16 and i'm feeling pretty embarrassed being 20 without one. i have a lot anxiety/fears about driving​ and had many push backs the past years where i just didn't see a license as top priority. needing advice and encouragement​!
