A day of highs and lows. High for managing to do the shopping before the storm rolls in. Low for sitting too long chopping veggies and subluxing my hip 😂😭

Tripped on a laptop charging cable. Laptop fell off the coffee table and hit my foot, corner-edge first. Broke at least one bone in my foot.

I also sublux my shoulder brushing my hair, and my hips getting out of bed, on a regular basis ( #EDSZebra over here 😅).

Shout out to my fellow human barometers whose joints are currently providing an hourly forecast on a theme of owwwwch.... 😭

Me yesterday: Feeling good, let's push a bit harder on my walk!

Me today: It has been [0] days without a flare-up.

27 years... you'd think I'd have learned to pace by now 🫩

Yesterday was a spoon jamboree. Got some fresh air, made some phone calls, did some writing, had a shower, cooked a meal - the works! Today I had blood tests at 7.30am and haven't been able to move or think straight since.

Managed to do the weekly shop this morning, then ran out of spoons midway through a cup of coffee and passed out for three hours 😅 Fatigue is to tiredness what a suit of full-plate armour is to a silk scarf #ChronicIllness #EDSZebra

I'm going to start carrying around "Good Job" stickers that I can give to doctors and nurses who actually listen to me and treat me with respect. The good ones deserve rewards. #chronicillness #EDS #EDSzebra #medicaltrauma
