I came home and then not long after, I received a mobile
phone sales call. I was about to change deals when it was if my battery had
just run out. I was suddenly ravenously hungry after a very busy and stressful
day. I just couldn’t make any more decisions and go through contracts or small
print. In the end I just had to hang-up and stagger to the kitchen and rapidly
heat a prepared stirfry and eat before I literally passed out.
The next day I woke up with a splitting headache and ached
in general. My head was very fuzzy and foggy, but I had to battle on with
patients to treat. At lunchtime I received a call from a man who needed to
measure a new bathroom window I need. I was standing leaning on the wall with
my legs crossed in order to get any stability. I then went to bed to try and
rest before treating again much later in the day. The following day things were
not much better, but again I had patients in the evening. I did cancel a friend
coming for coffee and a treatment swap, but had to preserve my energy. The day
after that was still similar, only I was in more pain and by day five I had no
energy and spent most of it in bed, aching, in severe pain and on lots of pain
medication. Then the excessive urination started which seems to correlate with
these episodes of severe global nodules of pain and fatigue. This, I am
assuming is all related to an Autonomic Nervous System that is massively out of
kilter. In my experience there is just no point in fighting this, and the
quicker I give in to it, the more likely I am to recover.
Today I am finally better, and a bit cabin-feverish, which
is a good sign. I am going swimming as need to do some exercise very badly –
did a little ballet yesterday, from home, but had struggled with walking the
day before that. Hopefully this fatigue has now subsided. Until the next time.
