What I hate the most (today) about suffering from fibromyalgia is how I never know what my limit for activity is until I've suddenly reached it. I will be in a "normal" state of sensitivity, aching, stiffness and set about a task- and complete it. I rest for a bit, and I set about another task.
Then somewhere along the way, suddenly the "normal" pain turns lancing. I stop what I'm doing and there's a crushing wave of fatigue and I will start dropping things, forgetting words, misjudging distances, start to cry- it isn't always the same result, except that I have reached my limit.
Sometimes this happens early in the day. Sometimes it never happens at all. It seems almost random. Is this something other people deal with and what do you do when it happens when you are literally in the middle of something and need just 5-10 more to get a task done before you sit down or otherwise pause?
