Life coach request under constant pain and fatigue

JamieS

Hello, I would be addressing this to the Dyspraxia Foundation, but I am aware that they have closed.

However, I also have Asperger's Syndrome, and so I am raising this issue with you instead.

I don't believe I can get any further in life on my own without life coaching support; my constant pain and fatigue from Fibromyalgia makes it impossible to think things through when combined with my autism and dyspraxia. In fact, in all but the simplest of activities, I find myself incapable to plan, communicate, and coordinate without delegating that responsibility to others. It is therefore impossible to be independent, and I am choosing to remain unemployed for that reason.

If anyone could at least point me towards some prospect of receiving life coaching, I would feel more ready to approach anything from employment, finishing my university degree, and volunteering - as well as generally participating in social spaces.

- Jamie: Male, 26

  • I've got the same fybro, ND etc it is hard, are you being supported by your GP with the fybro? Have you been refered to a pain clinic, if not ask for a referal, they're led by consultant anethetists and psychologists. You maybe lucky enough to have a clinic led by rhumatologists for things like fybro in your area, if you have one ask for a referal. If your GP is unhelpful then maybe try a medical herbalist for help, they will mix you up a brew according to your needs.

    Maybe once you have the pain and tiredness a bit better managed then a life coach or someone could help you?

    Starting from the top: yes, my GP is aware of my condition, I saw them a week ago, and I will see them again at New Year's start. I have not only been referred to a pain clinic, but stayed at one for five days before being discharged. Before that happened, I was also able to be referred to rheumatology - who gave me my fibro diagnosis in the first place - and was discharged from them as well. Additionally, I have been referred to two physiotherapists, the first of whom I was discharged from, and the second I am planning to see again soon. As for herbal remedies, are we talking about this from the perspective of painkilling, as some kind of energizer, or both? I have only used prescription medication up to this point, but I have tried supplements such as peppermint for indigestion.

    I do agree that I need to get the two fundamental issues back under some form of control in order to make use of any advice or guidance.
