    Time gets away from you

    About two weeks ago, I wanted to do a post a day, to get back into the feel of writing and processing and just dealing with this lovely process of living with a chronic illness.

    Then, I had a bad Friday, and I long weekend, fatigue hit hard and then an appt , then another appt….

    Then, just CRASH…

    All the best intentions, gone.

    Now, I’m slowly coming up for air and it’s like …. Wow, it’s been almost 2 weeks.

    It’s so easy to lose time, and then when you’re ready to start again … you feel disappointed…

    Starting over…
    And over
    And over

    Sooo

    Here we go

    Starting over

    Does anyone else's chronic pain flare up when they're *just* about to sleep?🥺

    I'm noticing that even if I've taken all my nighttime medication, I still keep getting flare ups as I'm about to go to sleep.

    And it's not even some of them flare up, it's every chronic condition seems to take turns to flare up just as I'm bedding down.

    Which means I have to either try to heavily distract myself with YouTube videos or if it gets too bad, then eat something (leaving me more likely to binge 🙄) to take stronger or more meds.

    Resulting in me going to bed in the morning and doing nothing with my days 😪

    Would really appreciate any help or advice lovely people 😊
