Feeling like shit today. Woke up after sleeping 10-11 hours, ate breakfast, and then went to take a nap for another couple of hours. So, why am I so exhausted and feeling like I got run over by a steamroller?
Well, yesterday my husband was driving home from work when a tire fell off his car. I had to go pick him up and once I got there, we had to wait for the tow truck to come get the broken down car. It was supposed to be about an hour before the tow truck arrived, instead it was almost three hours. Three hours of sitting in the cold (we did turn on the heat in my car occasionally, but didn’t want to run it the entire time we were waiting). Three hours of sitting in a position that is not good for my back, neck, and joints. Three hours of my joints stiffening due to the cold and being cramped in the car.
I knew today I would feel rough after all that and expected my CFS/ME and Ehlers Danlos to flare up. As usual, I was correct, but I wish I wasn’t. Those who don’t have chronic illness and chronic pain have no idea how easy it is for normal, annoying life events to set us back for days. I think it is something you have to experience to truly understand.
Good gosh oh mighty! You really did have it rough and I am so sorry that the pain is getting to you.
I hope you get the proper rest you need and feel better soon.

Thank you. I’ll probably be just laying around the next few days to recuperate.

Good idea. I think I’ll be doing the same after renovating my bedroom and doing a massive overhaul on the kitchen. My body is not in the best of moods lately. Heck, I only finished the last of my knee injections a week and half ago, and my back is very tender.
Yeah, laying around sounds like a great idea to me. LOL! 😊
