It’s something to tuck away and pull out when things get hard enough that the only way forward is to surrender. Your post reminded me that surrender isn’t the same as giving up. And that feeling safe is not dependent on what happens in your body.

I admire your ability to set boundaries and to let your ability for the day dictate what you do. I’ve gotten a bit better at listening to my body’s pain messages, but I still tend to ignore alerts of low energy. Maybe that’s why I’m so tired all the time? Thanks for reminding me that there is another way.

I’m so jealous. I am struggling with extreme fatigue right now, but I am also, currently, the sole breadwinner in the family (my hubby’s unemployed at present) and I’m also in a job I DESPISE, so being forced to go to a job like this every day doesn’t help my condition. I’m struggling with fatigue so bad right now that I’m actually going to talk to my Rheumy about it next week. I also just started back to school so I can make sure I do something I’m passionate about for the rest of my life instead of being here. Thank god I still have my hubby and son to support me or else I don’t know where I’d be. Like Maria, I have no way out at present, so it’s a bit frustrating. Oh yeah, I would also like brunch in bed please. Thank you very much!

I have Ankylosing Spondylitis, with inflammatory arthritis in pretty much every joint in my body, jaw to toes. Slow mornings are the only way I can create a life that looks even somewhat normal.

I’ve just very recently received my diagnoses and have to admit I’m a little scared. It started so suddenly and every day is worse. Almost hate to go to sleep, not that I’ve been sleeping good, for fear of how I will feel tomorrow. Haven’t started any real RA meds, go to the dr again Monday and am sure hoping for something.
