Yeah, need to tackle the upstairs today. I want my bathroom gleaming. Again - it's not filthy by any stretch of the imagination, just needs a good going over to make it shiny again! Not being able to do normal stuff is one of the most frustrating things about this disease.

DITTO! I'm normally not a fan of clutter, but my office area has been a complete and total disaster area for months. I've had a cable cord running from my tv in the living room all the way through the middle of the room, through the middle of the hallway, and into my bedroom because I'm too lazy to drill a hole through the wall. It's been like this since November. It'd seriously take me 10 minutes. But do I even consider it? Nope!
When you're done with your house, feel free to pop on over and clean mine! I'm seriously considering a cleaner once a month...

I'd love to get in a cleaner but don't have much cash to spare each month and I'd feel so guilty spending it on something I could do myself. Once it's tidy it shouldn't take much doing to keep it that way.

I've been up super early then shopped and helped look after a baby on a trip down to see my friend, and I'm done in cos my body decides to have its first fully bleeding period in 6 months.
The bleeding is geting heavier (but in itself isn't heavy enough to be of concern) and I'm so so tired.
Baby's mum said I should have one myself but I'm not ready on so many levels, I need to recover just from the 4 days of shopping. My bits hurrrrrt.

I'm just about recovered from a relatively short stint at the gym last Sunday. I feel great some days, I do too much, I pay for it soon after. I'm learning to live within my own tolerance levels.

I overdid it yesterday. Did 8 straight hours of hard labor for a volunteer thing for work yesterday (clearing out brush & trees, building a deck), then went out to see a friend's band play. I'm sun burnt in weird places. I was wearing long sleeves that I pushed up a bit, then had gloves on all day so I have what looks like Wonder Woman wrist bands on. My neck has a nice t-shirt ring, and my nose and cheeks are really red. Every single muscle in my body is sore. Tried to keep up with the guys that I work with and prove that I'm a tough girl. Helen's already scolding me for that.  My endo pain isn't really too bad because of it, but I know the exhaustion will kick my butt for days to come... But, in the end, it was for a good cause. My company sponsors an event every year that spends a day at a low-income house fixing it up. We had about 20+ people there, mostly from work (of which I was the only girl, although some of the guys brought their significant others) and did so much work it was amazing! They stripped and put a new roof on the house, too. At least I was smart enough to avoid that... |

it's not just me?!?!? The dr has told me (and other people without endo), you need to exercise, it might help. But when I do, it makes it worse. and of course I seem like I'm making excuses for not wanting to try and help myself.

My gynae pretty much dismissed my comment that I'm too exhausted to exercise. I have a demanding job and I live alone in a 3 bed house. Seriously, it takes all my precious energy just to get through the day. Yes Karen, I did deservedly scold you!!

Ha - the doc I saw today said she suspects either my adrenal function or thyroid, and that I SHOULDN'T push myself and exercise until we get it straightened out. Yay for someone finally understanding my exhaustion!! |

I'm joining a new gym next week, honestly can't wait, neither can my thighs. I'm looking forward to it too much though and know that I could easily go overboard. But I have no cysts as far as the u/s scan showed so am thinking maybe I should just grunt through the pain. Mind you I say this because it's been a while so I've forgotten what it's like  |

Saw a pain management specialist last Wednesday - she asked me how I deal with housework. I said sometimes on a weekend I feel good so I blitz the place and then wreck my back and tire myself out. She turned to (cute) student doctor and smiled 'Remember I was saying? So many patients do that' and then told me not to do that, and just take it in steps.
So I woke up feeling good today and really wanted to do some housework. Like about 6 hours worth. And guess what? Yeah......I'm hurting. Why do we keep doing stupid things like this??? I put mine down to guilt for having a pigsty home. Wish I could afford a cleaner!!
