Multiple triggers aka when the chickens come home to roost

Thank you for the reply. One of my New Year’s goals this year was to spend a bit more time with friends and/or otherwise connect. PMR put a damper on that but this forum is a good substitute. This is my first time participating in something like this. The pmr was so horrible at its worst that I have a little ptsd perhaps so talking with others is good. I only shared the highlights of the stressors haha and fortunately I never had anxiety or anything like that but when pmr hit my response was that my body was really mad at me. I once told my husband I I really wasn’t the energizer bunny. Well even if I was, the energizer’s bunny’s battery has died., at least for now. Take care, get rest and nurture yourself without guilt. Best to everyone.

I can truly relate to what you say. When I was diagnosed back in 2019, I was in the dark in more ways than one. It was a blessing to be part of a group. The knowledge you gain is great, the support essential, and ultimately learning that it gets better by listening to the stories of others. Gosh, I'd never heard of these diseases.
The last line of your response is the best advice anyone could receive~! When you progress to the point where you have a 'pocket' of energy....spend it on something that you really love to do.
This past weekend was an exciting day for me..... My first shower standing up in three years!!! Felt great and much less cumbersome. That light shines bright at the end of the tunnel.💞
