Rest Day

A rest day in bed with no sleep, in too much pain. Went back and forward to the kitchen and bed in levels of agony I can’t even describe. It saddens me that so people don’t believe in or understand fibromyalgia and my other health conditions.

I haven’t put a brush through my hair or even managed to brush my teeth. Must try tonight.

I knew I would pay for yesterday but have zero regrets. I wouldn’t have any kind of quality of life or sense of achievement if I didn’t try and push through with pacing. Hoping tomorrow will be better as always.

I’m commencing talk therapy next week to help me cope with my fibromyalgia related anxiety and depression.

Raising the money for Cancer Reseach UK has been a small positive in many negatives. Thanks to everyone on here who has supported me.

I am now aiming for a £150 target by the end of July. If I don’t meet it, I will still be very happy with what I have achieved so far and remain incredibly grateful for the support I have received.

I am going back to the local Pain Clinic in due course, I had a letter yesterday to confirm I am on the waiting list for help. 

Second time lucky with the Pain Clinic process, fingers crossed as I really want my life back, it’s not enough as it stands right now, I rest but don’t quit.

Today has been tough, trying to remain hopeful for some sleep and a better day tomorrow.

I filled out an online survey for Dumfries Town Board today, I think it’s important to participate. Too many people seem to just complain rather than respond to such requests for suggestions (see extra).

I did my daily Duolingo piano/keyboard and Ukrainian, determined to keep up my learning streak.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my Giving Page. Due to having fibromyalgia and joint hypermobility syndrome, I will undertake this challenge by doing paced walking (with mobility aids as necessary). I am a chronic asthma warrior too.

I plan to undertake a paced walking challenge throughout July 2024 for breast cancer research for all those living with the disease. This is for you and for all those no longer with us.

I have lost many friends and family to different cancers (oesophageal cancer, stomach cancer, bowel cancer and breast cancer) and my Mum is a Stage 2 breast cancer survivor thanks to advances in screening, treatments and research.
