I have been praying and reading scripture while wrestling with this beast. Many questions have come to mind:
- Is this a “new to me” Fibro Flare symptom?
- Is this the result of the intense stress of fighting for SS Disability (26 months to finally receive a “Favorable” decision)?
- Is it the result of being overwhelmed emotionally due to the “Favorable” decision?
- Is it a side effect of medication?
- Is it the after effect of changing medication?
- Is it the result of being home bound?
- Is it the result of frustration that the simple act of riding in a vehicle for any amount of time triggers a Fibro Flare?
- Is it from not getting enough sleep?
The questions could go on and on to other tangents as well. My attention span is close to nonexistent. I would liken it….to a young child…distractions are everywhere! The sights and sounds derail me all too easily.
All that is certain is that irritability is a foe!
