Is it really fibromyalgia?
As I sit here, sick for the third time since November, I wonder if it’s really fibromyalgia I have. Could it be something else? This time it’s strep. I didn’t know that adults really got that, but I guess I have. It has been less than three weeks since I was sick with a pretty severe sinus infection. I woke yesterday alone in my apartment with a fever of 104. I was delirious. Luckily I was coherent enough to send a text out asking for help, which arrived. It’s such a strange feeling, having a fever that high. Everything feels like it’s in slow motion, and my hearing and speech were much different. I just don’t understand… I never used to get sick, and now it seems like I constantly have something. No fun. Anyone else with fibromyalgia get sick this often?
