Bank holiday blues...and fibro

We travelled up to Blackpool last thursday night we descided it would be better as the friday traffic would be hectic also i still suffer badly from the headpain which is made worse from pain the sun so travelling at night was a good idea.

The trip went well with some cramp in my legs from being in the same position too long and i didnt think my fibro was going to play up. We couldnt get a room in the hotel we were due to stay in for the weekend so we stayed overnight in a bed and breakfast not more than 10 miles from the main hotel.

I managed to wander around somewhat on the friday and didnt think i was going to get any pain from the the travelling, however throughout the day i started to get more and more tired and in more and more pain. By late evening i was pretty much in agony and unable to leave my bed, there was no broadband in our room as promised so i had to make do with internet from my mobile phone using it as a modem.

I tried to wander around the room but without my crutches and fell hurting my ankle and putting myself in even more pain.

However to be honest i didnt really use the internet much and just watched a few dvds via my laptop. I was in so much pain i had to take the new morphine tablet the doctor had given me, i had worked out it was 2mg. The morphine patches give 2mcg (2 micrograms per hour) so technically the tablet is 20 times stronger) i took the tablet under my tongue as per directions, i was sitting up, within 15 minutes i started seeing double and thats the last i remember i must have passed out.

I woke up on the bed but in a few awkward position it felt like i dislocated my shoulder. I called Simon, looking at the clock it was about 4am, and was about 7 hours after i had taken the tablet, Simon checked me (as he is a nurse) and said i had probally sprained my shoulder. I spent the rest of the weekend feeling very weak and in alot of pain in bed : ( it does seem that travelling does seem to effect fibro (or at least my fibro), i have been resting since we got home on monday too today being thursday has been the first real day i have felt that i have had the energy to go out. But i have only been out several hours this afternoon around a friends house, only about 3 hours.
