I think I’m still there to an extent. By now, I’m able to work for a couple of hours, but it’s 12:30 PM and I’m pretty much toast for the day. Very much looking forward to my annual now/Mandatory Rest Period.

When there’s a lot of humidity (i.e., rain), my RA always gets worse and the fatigue gets worse, so my guess is that there is a connection. I talked to my naturopath about the fatigue (more like exhaustion, isn’t it?) and she recommended B12 shots. I’ve been getting them for the last couple of months and they really do make a difference. Doesn’t do anything bad to you, either, so if you can finagle it, they might be worth a try.

Hang in there. One of the benefits of having RA for a while is that you know that it ebbs and flows. I really like the posts where you show that – I think it’s so important for all of us to be reminded that after each dip usually comes a peak.

(see how I worked the Andes in there? ;))

So tired!
