Overdid it again!!

Hey my darlings,

Well lets recap the last few days.

Saturday I went out for two hours in the afternoon to Boucher Road to do a little shopping, then had dinner in my inlaws and chilled the rest of the evening.

Sunday I hardly slept so passed on morning service at church, got up in time to be picked up by Lynne to go take Toby to Pets at home for a muzzle then brought him home. Walked him once before we went out and that was it. Went to church on sunday evening, then visited my mummy who is sick, then came home did a couple of videos for youtube and hit the hay.

Monday I got up around 10, did some editing and advertising and then went to pick up mum in law to go to Ikea, walked the dog first. So anyway Ikea we walked around the top level first, then had lunch then went downstairs.

So for most people that is not a lot!! For me it used to be nothing and I could've done much more.... Well this is what happened. Half way round the second level my hips and knees really started aching. By the time we were at the check out I was bent over with the pain in the small of my back, it didn't help that we had to stand there for ages. By the time we dropped mum off and I got home I was so shaky and dizzy and my head was so cloudy. I made tea for Thomas and lay down beside him. I think that was around 4.... So that was me until this afternoon around 2. I was in bed, couldn't do anything. Well before I got too bad I made myself a bacon butty and I wish I hadn't. I have been trying to have nothing with gluten in it but I had nothing else in the house. I wish I had just had the bacon. My stomach was in turmoil all through the night as well. I have to say I am really seeing the effects of gluten in my body. It really is a massive difference. So it has reassured me I am doing the right thing going off gluten.

Anyway I sat watching How I met your Mother on my Ipad last night and then before midnight I turned it off and I actually slept. I wish I could say, though, that my sleep was restful. It never is. Especially not when I am in a bad way pain wise. I have really bad nightmares. Crazy wacko nightmares. I was a vampire and we were getting hunted by people was one of them. In another I was in hiding for something. All of them had something to do with people being after me. I know there is a meaning behind it. Like no matter what I do my illness is always there wanting to take me down. I dunno lol. I think too much sometimes lol.

Every part of me aches. My fingers hurt typing but I have to push through and try and stay out of bed. I don't want to end up in bed for days, which is what this illness wants. I am shaking too. Do you guys get the shakes a lot? My neck hurts. I really need to get one of those rests for a laptop that the screen is higher and you can still type, because looking down at it is stretching my neck and shoulder muscles and causing an obscene amount of pain. So I guess I should go and sign off now.

I will check back in tomorrow and let you guys know how I am. I am going to post a video for my fibro episode showing the effects of being out and about. Really think it would be good rather than just talking about it here.

Anyway, how are you guys? How is your pain levels?

Lots of love and hugs to you.

Lynds, xxxxxx
