what a relapse i had today, 14 years into pvfs. well this is what happened. i overdid it cutting the grass and loading the car with stuff to take to the dump, taking it up there and unloading. first i fell backwards on my stairs and wacked my head and back really hard and then, and this is really seriouse, i put some potatoes on the boil and pies in the oven, went to rest on the couch and fell asleep by accident!! that's got to be the most stupid thing in 14 years, i was so angry with everything when i woke, i could have burned the hole house down with me in it. it was just luck i woke up, god, i've been feeling under pressure to because i'm being put under pressure to return to work by new laws!! aahhhh!! just one of those days. x

Damn these new laws!
That is a pretty spectacular relapse, hope you're not too bruised. The homeopathic remesy arnica is gresat for bruises - worth getting some in -just in case!.
Hope things work out for you ok and you can get some rest.

You poor dear. You really did it, didn't you? Cutting the grass and loading and unloading the car would put me back in the hospital. Easy does it! Watch that bump on the head, see a doctor if you start feeling worse than usual. OK?!

Oh, boy can I relate. I pushed myself two hard over the last 3 weeks. However, my body didn't fail me at first. I was actually doing OK, feeling good about the time helping others. Well, the crash came today. I am in a totally dark and down mood with lots of tears. It makes me wonder is it what we did to ourselves or is there something out there that cause both you and I to crash today. I am in a weird thinking mode today, so that probably doesn't make sense. I hope we both find our way out of our slump.

so totally understand. After finally getting back to somewhat normal now for umm 7 months I have some days (on pills like green tea or stackers) where i will go on a cleaning spree. Then I have a week recovery of aches and weakness. I usually say it is worth it to get it finally done. But I usually (and does this happen to anyone else) come down with a terrible cold right after. Like my immune system went down too.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
