On Tuesday this week I washed my hair during a shower (I never do them on the same day as it's too much for me), then dried my hair and within minutes of drying it I had horrible symptoms. Bad fatigue all over my body, heavy arms like bricks on them, pain like a horrible dull ache in my arms and thighs ans generally feeling unwell and drained. I'm mow on day 5 of this cfs crash and after it being 4 days since a hair wash I washed my hair and after drying it wham all my crash symptoms hit harder. I never usually crash for 5 consecutive days. I feel so fatigued, achy in arms, shoulder blades and upper centre of back, front ribs and even my feet. Even holding my phone up to type is hard as my arms are so heavy and achy.
I never used to get pain with cfs but I do recently. My GP suggested I could have fibro when I last spoke to her but as I can't go to a hospital to have this confirmed due to the cfs and agoraphobia/anxiety, i didn't take it any further. I never used to get pain with the cfs flare ups but I'd say pains been niggling on and off in mild crashes for months but this crash which is a bit worse than usual, pain has been an big issue along with the very heavy arms. I feel like my arms have weights on them
When I crash its usually soon after an activity bur this year I dont usually crash for long periods like this one. It's never a delayed reaction with my symptoms.
Does this sound like fibro?
Sorry to post again. I should be resting lol.
