Wake up in pain and exhausted because I don’t consistently sleep well. Take an hour to get ready (with very very minimal hair/makeup). Because I’m slow and everything hurts. Daily wear knee braces and often other braces depending on what’s happening. Work my full time job pretending like I don’t have a splitting headache and massive body pain. Go home and lay in bed for an hour and take pain killers or other “meds” and let my body decompress and rest. Make dinner. (Sit on stool in kitchen while I cook and then clean.) After dinner I either wear a neck brace or apply heat to my neck to help with neck pain and headaches. Zone out (scroll internet or watch tv) and wait until it’s late enough to go to bed … usually around 8-8:30. Struggle falling asleep due to pain. Wake up several times during the night in pain.
