I am been on my sofa all aftrrnoon cant move glad i have a few days off from work thank you hugs to you xx

Chill out and indulge in complete stress free zone  x

Wish i could but i have kids outside kicking a football against my front wall kids these days dont respect their elders

HI again HOTpicks99, aww poor you, thats awful, one of our neighbors had this problem with kids kicking ball up against her wall so know how this can get you down, is it a council house, if so there should be a no balls notice put up and they should fence around the area, this what they did with our neighbor.  

No they dont think my family thinksi can still run aroynd after everyone i wish i could im getting tired to easily now laid on my sofa all day feel like a sack of potatoes literally glad u have help be careful not to overdo it hugsxx

Hi HOTpicks;  yes I can understand your frustration re not knowing how to say "no" when my children ask if I can do the school pickup/babysit etc...there are days that yes, I am ok, and say yes...but boy do I also regret it after they (the younger ones) have gone home and  I feel the pain/exhaustion....and you have also made me realize why I have a few more extras pain points today....thought I was going to be a "good" girl and clean out the cupboards, as I couldn't find anything....well will have to go back to Just putting up with the consequences.....  that's how I feel today, and yesterday, and probably tomorrow/next week....this is the one place that I can communicate without having to talk/use my facial muscles/jaw....thanks to all of you....and I'll try and spread my arms wide enough to give you all a hug................................Bron

Hi again, my problem is i still wear makeup and do my hair, then i get well you look ok!

 

I dont wear make up at all never have how do you know what i look likexx

Cheers bron it is cruel and unless u r a sufferer u wont understand what we r going through take care could write more but my hands r playing up best wishes xx

LOl no my comment well you look ok is what others say to me, wasnt referring to you, of course i dont know what you look like xx

Lol have same problem, and because I refuse to be beaten, and show jow much pain in, people don't relies how hard this illness is to live with, my one give away is my eye start to look Chinese, no offence meant if you are. (Chinese that is)

Make up is like my camouflage, I feel better about me, when i wear it,

Some days are hard specially when my body is hurting and tired, but I fight on like a stubborn old mare🐴 lol keep you chin up and plaster away, it for you not anyone else x

Hi tiff74;  EXACTLY....I have always followed something my mother once said to me  "look into someones' eyes....that'll tell you all you need to know about them"....and it's true....whether they're not well, sad, or even their personality...if they can can look you straight in the eye...it tells you and them, all you/they need to know.....and yes, my eyes are getting MORE closed as the years go by...always tired.....Bron

So you not Chinese then lol.

Not having great morning in a lot of pain. My husband let me have lay in bless him, but it takes me ages to get going in the morning, specially if don't get up early.

Hi tiff74, precisley, its my camouflage too, as i say to people in my family, i may feel unwell but im not giving in to looking it as well. only time i dont bother is when im so ill i have to stay in bed. True its for us and  no one else, if i like what i see in the mirror then thats a good uplift for the day, a struggle maybe but well worth it. x

Me to, mornings are worse and i dont feel 'normal' sometimed till evenings, i dread early morning visits.

 

True, even with make up you can tell by the eyes,have days when mine look a sort of pinky due to the M.E.

 

Actually you have a "point" there tiff.....My youngest daughter and I were only talking today about "some of us having slanting eyes"....my son often laughs at his baby photos, as he had small eyes in comparison to the size of his head/body....was a10lb6ounze baby, 3 weeks early...too big for me to carry him any further..... My great uncle also had the same eyes and his complexion always had "a yellow tinge"....Mum often joked about that too "wondering if there was some hanky panky with one of the workers".....all a bit of a joke in the family.....I do think that his mother would have been "too straight laced" for that though, in the 1800's....the Upper class land-owners and all !!

   I am sorry that you arn't/havn't had a good day (can't tell if Friday/Saturday for you.....I'm in Australia).....and yes, I do understand re the mornings....it always takes me a couple of hours to get going in the mornings, and as you say, if we do "indulge" with a sleep-in, the day is actually gone, and then with our "rest period"....the day is gone...hoping tomorrow is better for you....do you feel, like I do, that the change in the season/weather is a major cause in how our bodies have better days than others.....and what we do the day/s before, don't help either???

yesterday I had new blinds installed, and with having to "just" take down the curtains for them to do the installation....nothing much got done today......will be thinking of you.........Bron
