Gotta love Migraines! . . . NOT

So I finally feel better after that massive migraine. I'm not even going to get into the number of medications and heating pads it took to get rid of the stupid thing but I'm so happy it is gone. I have noticed with the increased stress I have been suffering from symptoms of many of my issues more and more which is really annoying as I try and establish a "normal" routine. I have never really lead a "normal" life or hours etc but I'm trying to establish my normal and I feel like every time I get a step closer my body steps in and just says absolutely not. Migraines, fibro flares, no ability to control my body temperature, and more. It's been really difficult, luckily enough my fiancee has been around and is a huge help with all of this being reassuring, helping where he can and what not but I just am struggling to feel like I'm doing things right. Whatever that means any more but I am struggling to feel like a truly functioning adult right now. I know all the COVID-19 stuff is affecting everyone and there for awhile it didn't make to big of an impact on me. I'm not an overly social person so staying at home wasn't really a big deal, and I was off work but I got unemployment. It was less money than usual but manageable. It has only gotten worse as I've gone back to work from home. Before all of this started I was considering applying for federal disability even if just partial so that I can take the time to take care of myself the way I should before my body forces me to with flares and migraines etc. I was hoping that maybe working from home would solve some of the issues but it hasn't it has only confirmed that working full time while trying to take care of myself and other adult responsibilities takes more hours then I have in a week. Going to be interesting once all this is over and I can start seeing doctors, to start the long process of trying to get some medical help. #Fibromyalgia #stressesout #thisismylifenow

Um this is new

So this is my first full week of working from home and a little over half way through my week I can say this is different. Not bad different but it's completely different then working from the office. Trying to get into a good routine and balance. At least most of NG job is taking phone calls so once I log out of my queue my work ends for the day but trying to adjust to everything at home. How's everyone else holding up? #covidlife #thisismylifenow #Anxiety #Stress #workfromhome
