Emerging from a stressful few weeks

Just a quick entry as I am just coming out of a prolonged fibromyalgia flare up, complete with severe fibro related IBS.

I took an unplanned and far too long break from Blip as I was barely functioning. Just about getting back to my normal. 

Today, I did a small food shop and took a quick snap of today’s main Blip photo outside the supermarket. I do love a Tunnock’s teacake, not as much of a fan of the wafers!

I have been so drained and trying to play catch up. Have been getting a lot of bits and pieces done with regards to my health and and home, which has been stressful and exhausting but has made me feel productive. 

I have overdone things a little and am now in a fatigue flare but am planning a quiet weekend to recover. I need to catch up with housework and laundry.

I need to catch up with friends too via phone and rest, including one of my best friends, Rosie.

Today’s extra is of an electrolyte water I sometimes drink when I can afford it - I think it helps ease my fibromyalgia pain. Fellow fibro warriors - try it! I know things can vary so much between us all but it has helped ease my symptoms.

I have loads of health appointments in my diary after advocating for myself. 

Proud of everything I have achieved both on my own and with the support of others, despite the high levels of pain and fatigue. I will write more of an update tomorrow.

Thanks for all the kind comments, stars etc. I have missed Blipping. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend:) xx
