I’m more active in the morning and maybe that helps with the pain. Or maybe I’m active because I have less pain??? I’m paralyzed, so it has nothing to do with the fact that I’m not using my legs, but I am transferring a lot between the shower, the bathroom and a chair at breakfast. I get involved in the preparation of our noontime meal which is our main meal of the day. Sometimes that may take two hours. Today it will be shrimp à la Grecque. By the time we finish the meal at noon, I need to lie down an elevate my legs because of fluid accumulation and that’s when they start to hurt. But when we go out again at 4 PM, they hurt even more. So it’s not just inactivity that makes them hurt. Last night we went out to dinner with friends, and the pain was so intense, that I was wincing with pain until we got home.

@darlingtondoll Sighhhh...its when life becomes a chess match. I hear your struggles and give you so much credit. My muscles are weakening more and more. My perseverance leaves me exhausted and in a great deal of pain. I get it. When you push to have some normalcy in life then you pay dearly. I continue to try and find a healthy balance. I pushed yesterday (as I try everyday) and got my taxes done and wanted to have lunch after with my husband. It was a disaster for me and sucked the air out of him seeing me suffer. I wonder why I freakin bother. I'm battling migraines and the neuropathy throughout my head, neck and shoulders is beastly these days. So, lifting my arms to eat a meal is very difficult. Holding up my head is difficult. Using my hands is difficult.

Days when my eyes (dry eye, migraine, photophobia) feel like they bleed bc I push so much to look at phone, hands full of neuropathy so holding phone is difficult. I use voice to text alot or just stubbornly keep pushing and hurting myself more. My legs barely work most times and I often think of you, when I'm complaining in my head, and say knock it off to myself! I'm going to stop here as my list continues but nobody needs to hear more boo hooing.

Thanks for sharing today
