Evening all,
Thursday was a quiet day as often is after being at football, so I thought what can I do today well it’s time for real talk .. part 2!
This time about life . People see me going off to games 10 months a year but what you don’t see is me at home.
What people don’t see is the struggle of fatigue I have daily, I’m known to fall asleep at my desk or In the car (im not driving ) regular and often need to go to bed during the afternoon for a long nap!
But if you take the fatigue away then you’ve got the pain, oh the pain. Which I know I’m lucky I have a high pain tolerance in general, I manage with mainly low grade pain relief & my gel of course. But it stops me sleeping most days and can see me crying in pain from just sitting in the car.
With pain & fatigue also comes depression although I’ve suffered for many years so it came first but it’s definitely increased since I got rheumatoid.
Of course you’ll see me smiling and not letting on my battles because who wants to see that, but next time you think oh she goes football remember I suffer and suffer badly Togo.
Vicky xx
