Long day

My long day technically started late last night, or rather I suppose I should say early. I started to get a bit of a migraine around 2 in the morning, and from there it seemed to get worse. I don't know if the extreme nausea was a result of the migraine or due to something else entirely, but I spent most of the night curled up on the floor in the bathroom hoping to throw up and get it over with. I ended up not throwing up as it turns out, and dragged myself back to bed with my boyfriend. I don't think I woke up until 4pm, maybe later. Have you ever woken up completely exhausted? As if you've spent the night running, and your body has turned to jelly? Yeah... I've been having period like cramps periodically, (my period doesn't start at all for the next three weeks,) and a terrible stomach ache. So I attempted to take a bath, and found that the heat was possibly making me even more miserable, and weak.

I eventually slummed my way out of the tub, only to end up on the living room couch where I pretty much stayed the rest of the evening. the one time I did force myself up to eat something I felt winded the entire time, and food caused my stomach to give me sharp pains in protest. My boyfriend actually left work early to come home and make sure I was doing alright, since even the motion of texting felt like a terrible burden. There's nothing quite like laying in one position all day long, feeling like your body has been stuffed with boulders. Ick. And of course I wasn't the least bit tired. I was just sapped of all energy. I was dreadfully bored, and couldn't do a thing about it.

I'm thinking that I must have overdone it yesterday when I went out with my friend. Maybe it was just too much for my system. Too hot, too much excitement, who knows. I'm hoping it doesn't become a regular occurrence that's all. I'd hate for my illness to get any more in the way of life than it already does.

Just in case anyone actually gets around to reading this post here's an interesting view in to life with a chronic illness/ condition.Celiac sucks, lupus sucks worse. My symptoms some day definitely keep me from doing things. In any case, just read it. It's quite informative: Spoon theory
