I'm struggling today.
I have RA (which has led to secondary fibromyalgia), endometriosis, IBS, trigeminal neuralgia, diabetes and what feels like a million other things.
Today I'm struggling with the pain, my RA has been in a flare for the past week, I work full time, thankfully in a flexible job where I can work from home when I need to, my DC are old enough to not need me so much (one away at uni and one at home, autistic but able to be a little bit self sufficient) but I do have to do a million things for my elderly mum who has just moved closer to us into a pensioners bungalow and seems to have suddenly lost the ability to do anything for herself...
I just feel like I would like one day of not being in pain, to be able to wake up and have energy and want to do something, anything.
How do you manage to keep going when you feel like that day after day? I usually manage to keep my spirits up but I'm failing at the moment.
