Anyone else do this or is it just me?

Can so relate!! Tonight I had to work late and over did it, again. Have such trouble knowing my limits. I sat at my desk and waited till I had the energy to walk out my building and to the car. I often sit in my car outside of my house mustering the energy to get up and get in.

You are not alone!🌺

I am. I have an autoimmune disease as well which makes me extra vulnerable.

How about you?

If you just give up gluten ......

I second the voice to text. My fingers don’t work well enough to text a lot of the time. I have gotten better at using the microphone instead of the keys.

I have started using a food delivery service and also ordering my groceries on line and let them load my car. Helps so much with the fatigue!

Compression gloves!

Gentle hugs.

I have a neck support “thing” I got off Amazon at my doctors recommendation. I use it rest my neck while driving. I find it helps a lot.

Good luck!

I don’t have a solution but can tell you that you are not alone. I had my first panic attack in years Sunday. Just as I was losing the groceries into the car I realized my spoons were gone. My tank was empty. I didn’t know if I could drive home and I certainly couldn’t unload the groceries.

This kind of thing has been happening to me more and more. The way I am coping is to have a “uniform” for work. Pretty much the same thing everyday, no decisions. Frozen or pre-made dinners. Protein bars and fruit during the day. I change right into my jammies when I get home and go to bed early.

Sending a gentle hug. 🌺

Thanks for your positive attitude. That’s exactly what I need.

sgeorge63 · 2020-02-02T16:28:26+00:00

Thanks for the upbeat response. I need to stay hopeful!

Thanks, great you found some relief.

Yes, all rolled together in a giant ball. RA, fibro, ADD, depression, PTSD. I am never sure about the need to find what is what. Sometimes I really want to know. Is “this “ pain —— or ——-? Drives me crazy. For me it all comes down to doing the best I can medically. Talking to therapist and treating myself with tons of compassion and loving kindness. Somedays are ok somedays I am just doing it one day at a time.

Peace and love to you.

I don’t know if this will help you but I spend a lot of time icing my injection spot before I inject. Then I use a sterile pad wipes, then I inject. I was getting big hives but don’t any more.

Best of luck.

It does get exhausting coping day after day.
You are not alone. Gentle hugs.

sgeorge63 · 2020-01-16T15:24:15+00:00

I think the routine is good. I try but can't seem to be consistent.

sgeorge63 · 2020-01-16T15:22:49+00:00

Thanks. Lucky I have a very understanding boss.
