Follow Your Passion: A Seamless Tumblr Journey
Anyway don’t be like me, listen to your body and take breaks when you need to. That goes for stuff other than exercising too, like if you’re doing any type of activity and you feel your brain and body start to be like “heeeeeeeey can we slow down?” That’s a sign that you should take a breather, or dial it back, or whatever. Knowing how and when to listen to your body is your most important tool to manage your symptoms.
It’s also an important tool to help you like. Be a happier, chiller person.
Yet again stuck in the pattern of
Works out to help my fatigue -> experiences joint pain because I was too rough -> takes a day to rest because of my joint pain -> experiences fatigue because I haven’t been working out -> works out to help my fatigue -> becomes the chronically ill equivalent of Sisyphus, trapped in a self inflicted loop of being tired and achey all the time
It really sucks when my symptoms have been mostly manageable for like 2 weeks straight and then out of nowhere fatigue just hits me like a sack of bricks. Like at least it’s happening on my day off so I don’t have to worry about work but like. Damn dude it was really nice being a functioning person for a while, not enjoying the possibility of another flare up happening rn and wrecking my ass for the next week and a half.
Okay, fellow disabled folks who get hot flashes, does anyone have any ACTUAL advice for dealing with them? Every time I try to look it up Google thinks I’m a 60 year old post menopausal woman and tells me to call my grandkids and use a fucking douche or something
