Bah.

A couple days ago my complaint was that my burst of energy came too late in the day for me to do anything useful with it. Yesterday there was no burst of energy or even a slow trickle of energy--I definitely pushed myself too far on Wednesday's walk. Today, though, I felt good in the morning and was excited about all the things (all both of them) I planned to do.

And the excitement lasted till after my morning shower, at which point I crashed. Hard. Hard enough to give me whiplash, or at least some nasty head & neck pains. I suspect that a prescription nose spray I tried this morning was responsible for the suddenness of the oogieness, but it could just as easily have been something like a poor carb-to-protein ratio at breakfast, a bad reaction to a housemate's cologne, some weird hormonal reaction, or even gremlins for all I could tell. I'll avoid the nose spray and see if I feel better tomorrow, but whether I do or not won't prove anything. It's so frustrating when there's so much I want to do and I don't know if or when I can do it.

Been alternating between anger and hopelessness this evening. I like anger better. You can't do anything fun with hopelessness.

Thankies!

Been trying to decide if I should have more tea tonight. I only have caffeinated tea here, so normally I wouldn't drink it this late at night, but I'm not really feeling the effects of caffeine today, but that doesn't mean caffeine isn't affecting me anyway...

decisions, decisions.

I've been there too often. I'm sorry. It's awful to have high hopes and plans for a day and then lack the energy and/or be in too much pain to do much of anything. It's incredibly frustrating to have so many triggers. I haven't eaten well the past few days and I know I am really pushing my luck.

I can understand preferring the anger to the hopelessness. I try to avoid both because those feelings can touch off a worse flare in me, but it's hard.

Are you taking any supplements? If not I could give you a few recommendations that may help somewhat. And I love my new piece of magnetic jewelry, which also helps with pain control.

*Hugs* and best wishes. I hope you feel better soon.

I'm taking magnesium supplements (and multivitamins). MSM used to help, but I haven't been able to buy any lately. Can't afford other supplements, since there's no money & Medicaid won't pay for them.

*Hugs* and best wishes. I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you!
