Anger and Frustration

A few days ago, I had a major flare begin. All I've been doing is lying around, stretching when I can, and avoiding extra movement as I can... The pain levels are extremely high. I've been doing my best to help around the house, but I have been a lot less active than I normally am. Every time I move I have to avoid screaming... Over the years I have become very good at holding a mask up and not showing the pain. Most people are surprised to find out how much pain I really am in because I am so good at hiding it. I haven't had a choice about hiding it, it's the way it has had to be. I feel like I look dead. I can't feel emotion when I'm in this much pain... I just want to cry. I've had people questioning if I really am in a flare and it hurts so much to have to defend this to them... I just don't know what to do. Chances are I am reading way too much into this and taking it too personally, but I just can't help it. 

Since the flare began, I have noticed that I am extremely irritable. I am generally not an angry person, but I have been getting flashes of anger over little stupid things... Things that really should not be bothering me. It scares me. I shouldn't be angry like this. I just want to scream.

I am so frustrated with all of this. I saw my neurologist on the 24th and told him how I have been really worried that there is something else going on with my body other than fibro. My doctor ordered a full lab work up and a metabolic panel. I see him on the 22nd. I am so nervous... I'm very scared that something else is going on. I really should not be this sick with just fibro. Ugh.

Right now I cannot even describe how upset I am in general. I am having such a hard time coping with everything lately. This snow is just killing me and I have not reached the peak of this flare yet. Blahhh...
