A friend asked me how my weekend was. I said it was a killer... but no surprise. I said "if I do x, y, z, I'm going to feel like sh*t, and I do." It wasa busy weekend, with a lot of physical labor involved (sheesh, just alittle shopping and cooking! It was my dd's birthday) and I know now that this kind of activity level is going to put my pain level to HIGH. Believe it or not, knowing it does help. And then I just plow through it and do it, and pay. I am hoping to be able to manage some recuperating over the next few (busy) days.

I know I know, I know! I better slow down and listen to my body and pace myself and all that. I do know. :-)

Been there done that. I did 42 chair massages in a 8 hour period and it took 2 weeks but it kicked my hinny. I am still paying for it. I have been knocked on my butt now for almost 2 weeks. The fog is horrible and the pain well lets not even go there you know what thats like. So I would tell you to slow down but that would be the pot calling the kettle black. So hope you feel better. HUGS

Same Boat Honey... Worked Thurs. night, drank some beer, recovered on friday worked saturday night, didn't drink, it was cold n rainy out n had to load equipment in and out of my van twice, set it up and take it down.
I don't know if it was the being out in the cold rain or if I caught a bug or if this is just the worst flare I've ever had but it hurts alot to move a lil. been wapped in my Electric blanket in bed all day, Dizzy if I sit up to long, no appetite, but my 11yr old made me some soup an I ate it and a few crackers, but yeah Ouch!! haven't felt this miserable since the end of my pregnancy!! I hope we both feel better 2morrow!!

In the same boat with you. It always makes me laugh when I hear "take it easy" or "don't overdo it" cause sadly life doesn't work that way. Hope you feel better soon and get some relief!

I know how you feel... What is normal for other people just knocks us fm sufferers for 6. Used to take for granted shopping, housework gardening etc. But now have to pace myself through the week. Been told that I shouldn't even pick up baby car seat (impossible with a 11 week old baby) but hey ho. Just have to get on with it.
It is so hard as the outside world cant see our pain but we are all here (ds) to support one another which is lovely. Hope your pain subsides a bit for you.
((hugs))

I truley hope you feel better!

And stop, learn, and listen more!

Slow down your moving too fast you got to make this moment last, as the song went...that will age me!
