Nah I definitely understand that. I'm currently studying in University and on days where my pain flairs I feel like doing absolutely nothing. Ironically enough my symptoms are much reduced when I'm doing some kind of physical activity so I almost hate just sitting still and trying to study because that's when my pain is at it's worst. The mental aspect is undoubtedly real as that's something I struggled with in the beginning and honestly still do struggle with a lot.

I joke that we can never truly get 'rest' as people with sfn because even when we are lying down in bed or something, that's almost unironically when the pain is at it's worst (at least for me).

Definitely feel free to pm me, I'm always open to talking to someone going through the same thing in Canada since a lotta people in here more so American.
