I had two horrible weeks and the last 3 days have been pretty darn good. So, I've been so busy doing things in the office and at home with a big ol' smile on my face. Well, I just walked in from work and every ounce of my body is screaming. I'm in misery! I'd like to think I was smart enough not to overdo, but I'm not.
Then the reminder letter comes - "Take it Easy Lady" This pacing yourself stuff is not easy, cos it feels so good to feel so good!!
Just a little more, another 1/2 hr or so. And again, and again. Then next day the pain hits, and I think "WHY did I do that - I am soooo stupid". But I guess the bottom line is I am only human, and it feels SO GOOD to be up and doing. It's really hard to take a break when things are going well and energy levels are high.
But I'm learning - one big job - one little job -read a book!!! That's the theory anyway, but like all, I forget the theory sometimes, and go with the flow.
Do take care - we all know it, but as you say, will we ever learn!!
I feel we all tend to overdo it when we are feeling good. Then really pay for it in the end. But but but I feel soooooooooo good and I need to get this and that and the other done!!!!
I take frequent breaks and check the forum boards lol. Makes me sit for a few. But goodness knows I will just plow thru my work and not take any breaks just to get it done. Then a half hour later I can't move!!! *Smacks self on forehead* Well, I'm off to finish that hall closet lol.
I felt like I had a new body once the Enbrel kicked in then after 3 good days, whammy.It is really tough to learn your limits and not cross the line by accident.
