The October slide is doing me dirty this year. Exhaustion levels are up, pain is increasingly worsening. This is the first time I have had to manage my illnesses during the seasonal change whilst working… normally I get fired and I stay home for 3-4 weeks and then I’m back on my feet again 🤣🫣
So please please PLEASE excuse me if there are random days closed, closed earlier than expected or any of the sort. I will do my best with what I have.
If you are new here and you don’t know! I have PCOS/PMOS. POTs, Fibromyalgia and IIH. I suffer with chronic migraines, back and chest pain, neck/arm/wrist/hip pain. I also have chronic exhaustion which is more than just “I’m tired”…. It’s more of a, my whole body feels like I’m carrying around 3tonnes on my back. Everything hurts and I can’t breathe.
When I flare up my heart rate can reach up to 210bpm just from standing up and walking around a little bit. Sometimes I have to sit down, sometimes I pass out, I can be super emotional and I get stressed easily. I’m trying to gently get back into the gym this month and slowly adding it back into my routine because I have totally let my physical health go out of the window whilst managing my mental health and my time better.
If you ever see me keeled over or on the floor, unless I ask for help I’m usually okay!! After some salt and water I’m back on my feet pretty quick so don’t be alarmed if you come in and find me sprawled across the floor 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So - with that said…. I do still have good days and productive days. We will get there one day at a time.💪
Happy October you spooky souls 👻🍁🍂🧡
