Everything hurts and I have zero energy. Supposed to help with something today to get ready for our camp - but I can't. We have lots of help, so I don't have to be there.
Just wanted to go and see people. Get out. I'm stuck in room and starting to cry. I don't cry much, hardly ever.
I am HATING the disease today. I left my positive attitude somewhere where I can't seem to find it.
Instead of feelin gloomy, thought I'd come here - I know someone will understand. Just knowing that helps lessen the load. thanks for sharing burden.
trying to hang in.... WHAT HELPS the pain???? for body.....for soul...
I am sorry mate you was'nt able to attend and instead stuck in bed...these issues do hit we though out the blue, you can be in a lovely frame of mind the one day and rock bottom the next and i truly know besides other member's what it's like.
Have you ever thought not crying may be holding you emotions in, as a good cry helps we all besides losing off a lot of pressure.
Regarding your pain...resting as we all know very much of and otherwise meds and painkillers...for you soul, keep thinking positive mate.
I agree with Terri, some times it just feels better to have a cry. Sometimes I'll have a little cry in the shower. The warmth of the water just makes me feel better and usually I have the house to myself then as well.
I understand about the Zero energy. It has been a struggle for me this week as well. Everytime I start to get a nap, I get woken up - time to take my son to work. Or my husband will say something and I want to hear. I had a short nap this evening, I'm waiting to go pick my son up from work, then I'm going straight to bed. I will be grateful when his car is fixed, and this is lifted from me. I have days when I just want to stay in, and not have to go ANYWHERE. I love my family, but some days I just want for them to take care of themselves, and the dog to take himself out side as well.
It can be emotionally draining, and I understand your pain.
Hang in there, and for me a warm bath to soak for the pain. Tylenol, and ice are helpful.
Oh Traci I am so sorry for you and your bad day. Yes, I have days like this and I've learned to cry if I need to, to talk to a caring friend, or turn on music and quiet my soul.
You are right when you say we will understand...we all struggle at different levels...good day..bad day is how I describe how I am doing. Thankfully I bask in the good days and get ahead emotionally for the bad ones. I have inspirational verses and cards sitting around my rooms ...sayings framed on the wall as constant reminders I cannot handle my sickness alone. I need help from above and from others.
Your health explains your lack of energy, and when you're down it is worse. This too will pass.
I have recently begun taking Lyrica in small amounts however, I can tell the pain has lessened in my body. Anti inflammatory also is helping. As for the soul, I must cling to God who helps me through every moment of every day.
I am so sorry you are suffering. I care and will pray for you tonight.
Oh gosh, I didn't even think of altitude! And last year it was rough too, when I got here. So I think you're on to something.
Gotta get sun protector out. I was in Alaska a year ago, nice and cool, sooo coool I forgot I was getting sun. Boat I was on had to detour to get me to a clinic on small island from severe reaction to sun. By the time we arrived, I could no longer move fingers - entire hands were huge blister and face - injections worked, almost air-lifted away.
So yes - SUN SCREAN...so I won't scream!
Well, today is the official start day of camp. I feel much better today. thanks to all for helpin thru a rough spot.
This picture would inspire me to start a gratitude list. My 1st item would be I'm grateful my dog only weighs 4 pounds : p
He's never been big enough to knock over a trash can of any size lol. If he would even think about it all I have to do is say his name and he'd shake so much he'd forget about what he might have been thinking about. Sometimes I wish I could spark that moment of fear into my teenagers. : )

Thanks y'all. Yes, crying can be a release. I try not to shut it down like I did in the past.
Trisha - when you mentioned the dog taking care of himself, made me think of pix I saw today and shared on facebook. I'll see if I can post here...
Thanks for your replies Trisha & Terri....from Traci
the 3 T's (or 3 wise women?...... 3 stooges?..... yeah, I'm still tired and not thinking clearly)
Your feeling any better today mate and i suggest watching the heat as Ann mentioned out of nearly all issues going that's one pure nightmare.
traci is that what your dog did mate?....and Trisha is grateful she as a dog that weighs 4lbs, my staff weighs 4st and imagine being hit by him, he's got the run of the home that much he thinks he owns it.lol
No, that wasn't my dog - though once my dog decided to unplant a beautiful flower in a pot. I have 2 dogs and they bring lots of joy - miss them right now.
First day of camp went great! Was able to remember all the words to a song I sang - just wrote it a week ago, and my memory is a bit loose at times. Does any of the meds or disease do that?
Gotta get some rest - it's nice checking in..... I feel like I have a new family!
I am glad your picking up slowly and sorry about the dog pic...i did'nt get the joke then.lol
Dogs do bring joy into our lifes traci your right there.
traci it's the disease which does affect the memory alot and to what meds your on...can be an added bonus at times...why do you think it's called foggyness of the brain mate.lol
Keep enjoying the camp and i hope your health improves better.
Thinking of you Terri xxx
