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.

  • 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.

    I can't tell you all the herbs and things I use because the site would accuse me of offereing medical advice and remove the post.

    I've been discharged twice by two differnt pain clinics, one because the acupuncture they gave me didn't work and the second one because they said I could teach them things and I was doing everything they'd recommend anyway, I'm too resourceful apparently.

    I take capsules of a yellow curry spice which calm inflamation, I hope this is cryptic enough to get through?

    They shut down the rhumatology clinic for fybro here when covid started and it's never reopened, although apparently it wasn't very good and all the doctor offered was amitryptaline, which my GP gave me. The packet said don't opperate machinery or drive if you feel dozy from them, I couldn't even opperate a dust pan and brush! I sat in front of the stove for 20 mins staring at it, I've never had brain fog like that before, I stopped taking them.
