Crappy Week

So, I posted on the 13th of April about how crappy I was feeling on Monday… While I’m not having a problem getting my shower door open, I’m still feeling like crap.

It’s been a long time for me that I’ve have sustained a higher pain.level over more than a few days..feeling crappy started Sunday morning.

If you ask me what I did on Saturday? I went for a drive. I love to drive, but with the price of gas right now, it’s a little expensive. So, I has in & out of the car & driving around.. Even hopped on the highway to drop of my BFF’s birthday pressie..

So nothing was done out of the ordinary that could trigger a flare. To be honest, I’m surprised I didn’t flare the weekend before at the cottage when I *did* do something that could cause a flare – helping my Dad move the trailer.. I just don’t get it

And to top it off, I’m not sure what my body is trying to do. My pain levels are up. And all I have thinking about is fentanyl…. I just don’t know if it’s a want for pain relief or if the want is to be oblivious to everything cuz of the medication, or just to get high..

Crappy Day #2

I know, I know.. 2 posts in one day! The other was scheduled. This one is not.

I recently posted about being in remission and how things have settled down significantly, overall. But I do still have flares.

Today is a perfect example of that.

Last weekend it was approaching 30°C, low-mid 80°F.. Went swimming twice in my sister’s pool.. Absolutely gorgeous day!

Selfies last weekend while swimming – Gorgeous weather!

Monday, had a brief high of 18°C, 64°F.. that’s a big jump for my body.. & then Tuesday, it was overcast & the mercury dropped a bit more.. but I was still ok. Pain crept up asmidge, but nothing I couldn’t function through.

Wednesday, it stayed cool and it rained on & off all day.. By midnight, my body started to acknowledge the weather shift.. The increased pain & my own wonky sleep schedule had me up all night, with only able to get about 4 hours sleep.

Thursday, crappy day #1, I’m toast between the shift & the lack of sleep, my pain levels have skyrocketed. This is despite efforts on my part to help reduce the effects my environment has on my body.

Friday, crappy day #2, is worse.. I didn’t get a decent night’s sleep, so no REM or healing sleep to help me improve, to heal, to recover. My pain level right now is a 6/10.. Pure Fibromyalgia pain.

Chrinic pain isn’t very pretty, is it?

I only hope I can get better sleep tonight. Wish me luck!
