Paying The Price
I knew this week was going to be a bear. I knew I’d do too much because the calendar was booked but I tried so hard to rest in between stops, eat right, take my meds on time and be good.
But I can’t sleep because of hurting so much. I’m so blasted tired right now but nothing will help me sleep. Every muscle is aching and I just want my body to fall into that cocoon of dreams and la la land.
Please Lord, take some of this pain away so I can rest. I have a dentist appointment at 10 to get my permanent crown put on. Just some sleep is all I ask.
When will I ever learn????
Connie, you sound so much like me because I do the same thing, my problems come for the simple fact that I have so few days that I am not in a great deal of pain, then when I do get a break from it, over course I ALWAYS over do it and then it takes me days to recover.
As far as the not sleeping, my physician told me to start taking a good B-Complex and see if it would help me. I am amazed at the difference it has made and I am actually able to get a good nights sleep now.
Wow – there’s lots of us aren’t there? Your layout is gorgeous – such a soothing color. Seems we are all proof of finding ways to live with chronic illness, having days we do too much.
Not sleeping is my biggest problem. Non-restorative sleep creates pain – sigh. I don’t even know what I’m witing, but B-complex is something I take too. Not sure it helps, but hope so.
Wishing you betters days!! Your DOUA pal, Laura
