I'm too tired for this!

My most used/thought sentence ever. I am too tired for this. And I am. And yet I get back up and keep going. Last night I spent the night with some high school friends seeing our old school musical. We went to dinner, walked around this city, caught the train and went back to my house. We did a lot of walking. And yes I did take my crutches, however, they didn't do much good. By the time we got to sleep, it was around 2:30am and we had pretty much all but died of frost bite. So damn cold! This morning, I got up, took my friends home and went and cooked sausages for APMA, a pain management association. So I stood up for 4 hours serving people sausages at the local bunnings on my, already painful hip. Super smart I know. By the time I got home from that, it was time to go to work. So here I was, tired, sore and feeling like I might throw up, serving customers at work. Talk about not being able to say no to things. About 30 minutes before the end of my shift, my manager gave up and let me go home, and boy do I owe him big time. My head is aching, my hip is burning and I am exhausted. Talk about boom and bust. I'm pretty sure tomorrow will be worse. I am exhausted and uni tomorrow sounds... terrible. I don't know if I should go, I'm not sure I can bring myself to go until the afternoon. Perhaps I can do the rest of my classes online.

I've never been very good at saying no and boom and bust is my forte! I think I need to learn how to say no more, so that I can stop being too tired to do anything. Ahh well maybe I'll leave that for another day. Right now I think... I'm going to go to sleep. Try and sleep off the pain that I am feeling.

Turquoise for Dysautonomia Awareness Month

Again it's been a month since I posted... Opps! It's been an intense month! My endoscopy went well. They were worried about an anaphylactic reaction to the Propofol but luckily that didn't happen. Sadly though they didn't find anything so still no answers but I've got my gastro appointment in about 3 weeks so hopefully we'll have a plan to move forward then. I also managed to have a POTS flare after the procedure due to the 'eating and drinking nothing for 18 hours' thing. But after fluids and the threat of an admission I went home to snuggle up with Ami. Next in September was an anaphylactic reaction to peanuts, uni problems and a possible CRPS diagnosis, amongst others. Let's just focus on the possible CRPS diagnosis. As you may or may not know, I fractured my right ankle in 2014, followed by 13 weeks in a boot and crutches + 4 months of rehab, plus rehab that continues to this day. My ankle has since never be the same, but usually it...

Absent

Sorry I've been so absent recently. I've had loads of exams this week and I've been quite stressed and not super healthy. I don't think my body has been coping very well with all the stress and I've had some GI flare ups and joint issues these past couple of days. On Saturday night I went to a party and I paid for my choices the next day as I couldn't walk without my crutches. I do through phases where I am almost jumping off the walls and feeling amazing and the next day I can't walk. Boom and Bust. I've never been very good at managing the boom and bust and stress cycle. I guess I haven't really mastered the art of pacing quite yet. I also did something quite stupid in my semi-drunken state on Saturday. I told some of my friends what I'd been going through. Usually I would never say anything and I wish that I could take it back, but I can't. I guess in that moment I just felt safe. Now don't get me wrong, I didn't tell them everythi...

The wrath of medication forgetfulness

I'm really feeling the effects of my stupid forgetful brain this morning. I didn't realise how much my medication helps (because sometimes it doesn't feel like it does anything) until I forgot to take it last night. I have to admit, it probably wouldn't have been a great combination with the alcohol that was probably still in my system when I went to bed, but still, I'm really feeling the effects this morning. The bad part, my rescue medication has some seriously horrible side effects so I probably won't be taking that any time soon. I guess I deserve the pain I'm in this morning, after all I did drink and then forget to take my medication before I went to bed last night, over estimating my pain management skills I think. Now even the sound of my computer keys tapping is sending my brain into sensory overload and I have no idea how I'm going to get all my assignments done today. I deserve this, but still I feel sorry for myself. The feeling of waking u...
