Sunday Rest

Recovering from last night’s outing. I have had a very busy week and I may have overdone things a little and am paying for it physically and mentally now as is always the case.

My neck and spine are in constant agony and I didn’t get to sleep until gone 3am due to painsomnia. I did enjoy the comedy gig though.

It’s been very wet and damp here today which hasn’t helped my flare up. My neck is really bothering me a lot since I had Covid. Still got an irritating Long Covid cough. I think some of the additional pain I have been experiencing may have been flared up by the coughing.

I’m considering going to see my GP about the intense neck pain as it seems to have got much worse in the past few weeks, more than usual. I often wonder if I have a trapped nerve on top of my usual issues. Nothing has helped the pain today. Gentle exercise, rest and heat have all barely touched it. I did a few of my physio exercises. I hope it isn’t too long until I see the specialist chronic pain physiotherapist - I chased it up with the consultant on Friday.

I have been trying to read the Sunday papers today but my concentration levels have been next to zero. 

I also attempted a bit of Duolingo German revision (back to Day 3 of a learning streak as I was too exhausted to manage my daily challenge) but the pain and fatigue were too overwhelming for me. It’s so frustrating. I will try again tomorrow.

I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend, thanks as always for all your kind comments, stars and hearts :) xx
