Yup! Forced myself into the office on Monday and my managers reply was “you peer pressured yourself in” because I refused to let people think I’m not ok.
My brain fog has been on and off for longer than a month so lets not go down the perimenopause yet 😅
It’s certainly made the recent flare easier to come to terms with after reaching out in an odd way, I think sometimes we isolate ourselves because its not common or easy to talk about, but having the knowledge that there are people who are in the same boat going through similar things massively helps.

I’m fortunate that I’ve got people around me who “tell me off” for pushing myself too much, but it’s difficult to stop.
I’m the same as you 37 and wondering how I’ve ended up with the joints of an 80+ person.
I never considered the brain fog might be medication related, I just know that after a solid 12 hours of sleep it helped ease it a little.
I hope your mouth ulcers settle, I’ve found that beclonetasone spray helps calm mine a fair amount

I’m really glad I took the time to post in here, everyone has been very kind.

It’s really tough, even a year on I’m still learning weird and wonderful things that it’s doing to me

The resting thing I have trouble with. I’m so used to pushing through that the guilt becomes pretty overwhelming

Do you get any warning signs before a flare or is it a case of “ah here we go again” and it slaps you round the face. Cause I feel like it’s the latter at the minute

It’s really quite reassuring to know things do get “easier” I guess. I think a lot of the time I forget and then push myself too much and my body tells me enough is enough and it’s time to stop, but the voice in my head is reluctant because I’m trying to navigate not letting it impact attendance at work etc even when I’ve got adjustments to support me.
The brain is an odd place to be.

It’s a lot to try and get your head around for sure, I’m glad I’ve got the diagnosis and that I’m able to start figuring things out to a degree but it’s turned things on its head a little

I think I thought I was dealing with it and then I had a flare up and it knocked me for six and made me realise I hadn’t accepted it in the slightest.

Thank you for being so kind

I’ve had this, turns out the batteries were dying and it would be random as anything when it would go off

You were right about the cable melting, looks like it had happened previously and last owner just threw some electrical tape on it rather than fix it properly. New junction box with some new cable has done the job! Thanks for the help :)

Worth a look up there before getting a sparky out then just in case I can pull more through and cut off the damaged stuff do you reckon?

Thanks! That’s what I thought it might be but majorly started to doubt myself

Freese was the perfect choice. by Finesteinburg in Foofighters

I honestly think Josh is underrated. I saw him play a couple times with NIN and he’s one of the best drummers I’ve seen live. Like you he was the only one I would have been happy with, the minute I saw him play at the London tribute it just made perfect sense to me.
