I try not to, especially when I have to pay the consequences, but sometimes the changes in pain/inflammation/fatigue are so drastic from hour-to-hour that I don’t always moderate accordingly.

I find that I only really remember I have limit when I exceede them. Tenfold. Apparently I kinda think I *am* supergirl each and every morning, and then by night, reality resets in. (Side deviation, I think I need to start thinking of myself as the much hotter batgirl – afterall, she achieved greatness a normal girl with all of her massively useful adaptive aids. Sound familiar??)

Anyway, now that I feel like the world’s biggest geek, I’m just going to leave – hoping that you learn to hover near the line of your limits without completely smacking into them.

Stay well!

Some days we feel we can take on the world and other days we just want to curl up in bed and become hermits. Okay, maybe that is just me. :)

As I read posts from other bloggers, I see we each over do it somedays but how can we not? We all have goals for our lives and somedays we just want to move on with these goals and forget about the RA. Unfortunately it reminds us the next day but for that one day of just going and going…..it is wonderful!

I’ve only been severely limited by my disability for a few months shy of 2 years. I can’t tell you how often I’ve pushed to my limits, or cheerfully run over my limits (only to realize that I’d really run over MYSELF the next day).

I don’t think any of us can learn this lesson without making the mistakes time and time again. And on top of that, there are so many different parts of it to learn! It seems like every day is finding a new part of my limits, usually by discovering the next day just how badly I went over them. *sigh* Today was an over-the-limits day, which was stupid as I have a guest coming tomorrow to stay through Monday.
