Feeling Better, Catching Up & Happy Birthday To A Dear Friend

Things have been looking a bit brighter just lately, mind you I do need to learn when to stop and not keep pushing myself.

I haven't been online for what seems like ages. Well I suppose two weeks is ages to some people.....

My mood has lifted slightly and I'm starting to fell better for it, but I do over extend myself and end up having to sleep morning just to keep up.

There are times when I'm not sure if I hurt because I'm unfit or because I'm ill, and it is so hard to try not to push thru it.

You see if my legs are sore due to me being unfit and not using them often enough, then more use will help build up my muscles and next time they won't hurt so much or so quickly.

However if my ME/CFS is causing me muscle pains because I'm over doing things then pushing thru will just make everything else worse as well as the pain in my legs.

So it's a case of which do I do, the frying pan or the fire?

You see I have spent four years slowing down so much that I have come to the point where I may have slowed down too much. Not doing stuff means I have lost the fitness level I had and now have a harder time as I have to battle both fitness and ME/CFS.

Now for the struggle of finding the next level, without going backwards.

I sit there at times and think I have handled something really well with few symptoms then days later it hits me and I didn't handle it at all.

Mind you this time I do seem to have bounced back a bit quicker than I thought I would....... lets hope that statement doesn't come back to bite me!!!

So now to catch up on the things that got left behind over the past two weeks, but this time I will do it slower in the hope that I don't end up going backwards again.

Oh, as for catching up, I must go see my Garden Angel, as we missed his Birthday last week... I'm so sorry & HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Time to bake a cake and take it round, me thinks.... Yum.
