Who else feels that the more flares you have, the harder they are to recoup from?!!🙋🏻‍♀️

So this last flare kicked my butt, literally. With work, my daughter, and being sick, I couldn’t handle anything else. I took 3 days off of work and didn’t move from my bed. I couldn’t keep my eyes open.

I had that feeling of wanting to give up take over. I could feel the depression and anxiety take over just about every thought. All I wanted was to be in my bed. My shoulders hurt so much from just laying down but it was still all I wanted.

The steroids and antibiotics took more out of me. I stopped walking from overall fatigue I gained weight which adds to the depression and I’m swollen. Triple whammy.

This last week I found getting out of bed a little bit easier. I found showering back to my daily routine. I even shaved my legs. I was able to get up and walk.

I am trying so hard to find the energy and motivation to get back into “normal” day-to-day life. I want to use these last 6 months in 2021 to crush my goals I set!
