5th April 2007...
To be honest.. the past few days I have been to busy enjoying a level of normality... but as they say... "all good things come to an end".. my symptoms are still manageable... but for a couple of days there.. they were non-existent.. but I have been a busy bee lately... regardless...
I suppose I have been trying to cram in everything in the past few days.. well why not?? isn't a true saying "strike while the iron is hot?" and that I have done with a passion..
I have discovered a few things in the past few days... whilst the symptoms of M.E lapsed... I was invincible... even to the extent for a few days... I could do a 20 minute aerobic workout with no aftermath.. well, apart from sore muscles... haha!!! I could hardly move the next day... but hey, after I stuck the exercise video back in the video player and did another 20 minute workout... I was fine...
But along the way... whilst I was exercising... I discovered all the weak points in my body... and which parts that just blatantly refused to work... no worries... I will get it sorted... I will mention them to my physio...
The summer is here.. the sun is shining.. and hey, regardless of how we feel.. "keep smiling"
The summer itself.. brings a level of release.. from our burden of symptoms... and those who I have spoken to lately... are rejoicing in there new lifestyles... of having a new... option within there lifestyles... one of some sort of normality...
Enjoy and gather your strength...
On a positive note... this may be the route to a full recovery... and if not.. and a relapse is unfortunately on the cards... then again.. you will be armed with the strength to deal with it...
NEVER GIVE UP!!!!
WE ARE FIGHTERS... AND TOGETHER WE MAKE A TEAM.....
To be honest... last night I was a bit disheartened... my M.E kicked in longer... than just a little blip... I was so cold.. to the extent that I was sat on the couch... fully clothed.. with a sleeping bag wrapped round me.. and a cardigan on.. but an hour or so later... I began to get warm again... today.. I have been okay till 5pm... at the moment... I am having problems walking... my ankles ache so much and I'm having problems.. getting from a-b... but hey, no worries.. I will be fine tomorrow... I had better be.. haha!! I have planned to go shopping tomorrow....
But hey.... I will get there regardless!!!
6th April 2007...
Well, today has been a nightmare... but hopefully I will waken from it soon... fingers and toes crossed...
I got up this morning at 8.00am... no choice really my daughter decided to give me an early morning phone call... weans!!! haha!! to be honest I had to get up anyway... I had spent most of the night tossing and turning... my body has ached all night... regardless of how many cushions I used to try and make myself more comfortable... but once I tried to get of the couch.. and stand.. that was a different matter... I literally hobbled through to the kitchen to put the kettle on... my ankles just didn't seem to work... and I was in a lot of pain...
Through the course of the morning.. I developed pain in my arms.. and back... but hey.. I kept going regardless.. my only problem at that point.. was trying to get back on my feet after I had sat down for any length of time... so to combat this I kept going...
My home-help came at 12.00pm.. to help with with the housework.. me thinks that she was a bit late.. haha!! I had most of it done by the time she got here... well, I had to do something seeing as I couldn't sit down... no worries though.. she finished of what I hadn't had a chance to do... then we went shopping... by the time we got back and all the shopping was put away.. I was feeling so bad...
Time to sit down... I was feeling sick, had a headache, ached from head to toe... and was exhausted.. to be honest... since 3.00pm I have struggled.. big time!!!
I have had no time for anyone today... I just wanted to be left alone.. but to be honest.. when you have kids, it is so hard to find the time to rest.. and have some me time...
But again.. tomorrow is another day... the wee one is going to his dad's in the morning.. and will be back on Sunday... at least it will give him a chance to do something exciting for a change... and I in return will get a chance to recharge my batteries...
