Hi my friends smilewinkgrin

Recently I was feeling beyond exhausted...my zest for everything was just about depleted. I was plain pooped out, emotionally and physically...lack of rest and trying to do too much will burn you out.

Dealing with flaring between the fibro and MCTD had taken a toll on me....presently feeling almost back to "normal."

Sometimes, I'm too stuborn for my own good. I still want to do it all without pacing myself. At one time I was wonder woman( in my own mind)...could do it all...still think I should be able to at times.

I know this sounds dumb but I do forget that I have heart disease and pulmonary hypertension only because it doesn't hurt like fibro and my other stuff. When I get dizzy and winded from doing too much, I'm reminded.

Just have to keep reminding myself...rest when needed...

I exercise daily and eat right, now if I could get the pacing thing perfected, I'll be OK.

Hope to be posting more yeah

Hugs, Robin

Robin, I was thinking about  you this morning and am glad to see that you are feeling a little better now.  I know it's hard to pace yourself.  I have to constantly remind myself of that too.  I'll do something and thing, "Gee, I feel okay.  Guess I'll do something else", and that is the kiss of death for  me.  I end up doing too much and paying the price.  If I had just stopped when I knew I should.....but we don't want to give up on things.  That's the perfectionism that seems to run through fibromites.

 

But, you especially, need to pace yourself.  If you do, you will get far more done than if you didn't.  It has to be so difficult for you with the heart and lung problems but you are a real trooper and do live your life to the best of your abilities.  You should be proud of what you accomplish...no matter how small.  I just bet your family is very proud of your accomplishments.  When resting, you can always write more poetry.  You do that so well.  Do put it together and get it published.  I think you are quite talented.

 

Have good and better day today, my friend!
