The DSes are just about out of control. DS hasn't broguht his homework book home all week because "I forget it". So I get phone calls from the teacher about it. He is not coping well at school, which is rubbing off on me. They come in from school and just , well drive me batty. DS1 came in at 3.30, opened up a huge bag of doritos and started eating them, and said "Yes, and?" when I questioned him about stealing food. Thye packet got thrown on kitchen floor. DS2 did the same, hes had a yoghurt, a bbiscuit and a packet of crisps in the past half hour, again all thrown on the floor. DS1 uses words like knob, freakin etc, which he never used to use. He argues with me about everything. I just want to go to bed and stay there for ever
I feel crap, I have Fibromyalgia, which was quite well under control in Scotland, but I have gone downhill since. The slightest little things causes a flare up. Yesterday it was getting phone calls from DH and RAF about some bloody cheque. When I was speaking to DH about it at night and tried to explain how it had caused a flare up he started going his end about how he can't just leave the military, and how its his job and he needs his job etc etc - all of which was uncalled for IMO. Then he started on about me needing to do more to "help myself". Do more exercise he says. If I do go for a walk, say to the PO then it causes pain and I'm in agony for days, same if I go when I'm already in pain. I take my meds, but I ahve a house to run, two little buggers to look after and part of the illness is confusion, I forget what I'm doing, I forget words in the middle of sentences. I also get chronic fatigue. there are days when I am in so much pain and so bloody tired I just want to stay in bed, but I can't I have to get up and get on with it. I never used to be this bad. I need to get a job, but don't feel like it, I have no energy, I'm sure thats why the DSes are running wild because I have no energy to discipline them, but again, DH thinks I should be able to. I got a book on the subject but he only read the part which says about doing exercise, so thats all he goes on about, he hasn't (won't?) read the rest of it, so has no feckin idea how I feel.
My new GPs are as much use as a chocolate teapot, if I go to them with a problem about the fibro - after waiting weeks to get an appointment, then they just say "wait until you have been to the pain clinic"
