It’s hard to believe that so many things can be going on at the same time. Lol
I may be physically exhausted daily but it’s the emotional exhaustion that hits me the hardest.
But everyday I fight.

Omg! I didn’t realize it’s been a month since I last posted! I’ve been so busy with Dr. appts, my daughter got married in June, & my son & his girlfriend had their baby in July! I’ve also been flaring badly because of the heat. Bleh! Hope you are all well!
Hahahaha some days it feels this way.
I had knee surgery on Monday and held class on my conditions in pre-op and recovery. Lol
I appreciated how much they wanted to learn in order to make my stay more comfortable.

My birthday was last month and I was only hoping to have my morning coffee interrupted by some breaking news
Yes it does 🥰
Connective tissues have five functions

Fluid Connective Tissue
Blood
Ehlers Danlos Syndrome
is Complex it affects the body’s connective tissues. 80% of the human body is composed of connective tissues. This means that a person with EDS may have issues with as much as 80% of their body.
How I feel on any given day can change by the hour. I’m tired of not being able to make plans in advance. Good thing my granddaughter likes spontaneity!

Some days it just all gets to be too much. I am generally a very positive person and try to not let things get to me. But sometimes when things just pile up too fast and too high I have a good cry. But then I get myself up, dust myself off, and start all over again.

And it sometimes ends up being detrimental to us because we aren’t given the proper pain control we need. I function at a 7-8 daily which would mostly likely be a much higher number for someone that doesn’t live in constant pain.
I have been having thee absolute WORST brain fog of late. My attention span is that of a gnat!
More than one of my conditions cause brain fog unfortunately and it feels like they have all teamed up on me. Lol

Living with chronic pain can be hard. Especially when you suddenly get side tackled by something you never saw coming. It took me a long time to learn the new me & how to work with my pain & find a balance.The key is to try and pace yourself. Set a timer. Do things in little increments.
This is something I can get behind.

A bit on MCAS. It’s a pretty complex illness so we’ll definitely be coming back to it.

I was invited to join Kimberly on her Podcast, The Chronic Truth, to discuss living with chronic illness/pain. I do not have a date or time as of yet for when it will air but will let you know as soon as possible.
