Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Yesterday, I worked at home instead of going to the office because I had developed the 10th sore throat and flu-ey feeling in three months. I usually go to work feeling that way, but yesterday I just couldn't. So, I elected to stay home, but I did work all day from home because it was " payroll day " so I had no choice. The chronic sore throat/flu-like feelings last about a day or a day-and-a-half and then pass. It will come back in a few weeks. Today, I have no sore throat, no flu-like feelings, but have spastic bowel stuff going on. I have to go to work because there is a big meeting. I'm hoping if I eat something filling it will stop the urges. Man, I just cannot WIN! Two days ago I had cramps from my period and a horrendous backache. Tomorrow, it will probably be a migraine or cognitive disfunction, or dizziness. A few days later my knees will hurt. And so on and so on and so on. Does anyone else have symptoms that bounce around like this and are different from day to day, but recurring over time? I feel like if I explain it to " regular " people they think I am a hypochondriac. Yesterday, I mentioned to my assistant that I had the sore throat/flu thing and she was very sympathetic, which really surprised me. Usually people give me a look like " Yuh, right. " I just want to know if this is " normal " for FM for symptoms to bounce and change like this. Merci beaucoup! K2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
