- Waking up tired and hurting more than when I went to bed.
- Having to schedule recovery days after any day where I exert myself at all.
- Ditto for days when I encounter any stress.
- Doctors not believing my pain levels.
- Considering a pain level of 3 as baseline normal.
- ITCHING for no good reason!
- Cold and tingling feet when it’s 80 degrees outside.
- Never knowing ahead of time how functional I will be on any given day.
- Memory issues even worse than those caused by the brain damage.
- Suddenly struggling to focus on things when I have the ability to hyperfocus.
- Never knowing when my gut will behave itself. (Bonus: This is exacerbated by the hernia.)
- Having to relearn my physical capabilities.
- Trying everything possible to get relief, but only finding a few things that partially help.
- Having to budget my spoons/spells that much more carefully.
- My skin being so sensitive that clothing hurts.
- How does pain burn???
- Relief in knowing that there is an explanation and that it’s not something worse.
An attempt at sharing the insanity that is life with all the ins and outs, ups and downs and sideways of living as a creative, gifted, pagan mother with autism and chronic pain while parenting two gifted boys who have their own issues with anxiety and autism spectrum.
