Hey guys. I was wondering if any of you have had any random body flares lately? Either more pain then normal, or more fatigue then normal?
I have been suffering from a bit of both. My pain levels for the last week have been resting at a 7-8/10. I am having a lot of trouble walking, standing too long or even getting out of bed.
This morning I was crying because of how much my back and knee was hurting when I had to get out of bed to go to work. At work it was kind of okay but I think the distraction helped. The only thing is, people noticed how rough I was feeling.
I am grateful I cut my schedule in half this week because of the massive pain I have been feeling but I am just …I can’t even put it into words. It is brutal.
My neck hurts. My back hurts. My knee hurts. My ankle hurts. My whole body hurts. I am completely nauseous. I am exhausted. I am tired. I even took a nap yesterday. And the nap was supposed to be 20 minutes but I was literally gone for almost two hours and then I had to go to sleep like 2 hours later to be able to work today.
Now, I get when people have schedule changes their body flares so I have been thinking this is one of the reasons I am exhausted lately and in pain. Because my schedule changed to 5am almost every day.
The second reason could be the hormone imbalance and the cortisol levels. Sometimes it happens and for some reason I tend to burn out almost every summer/early fall. So I think this could be a reason too.
It could be the heat as well. It’s been so hot in Quebec lately. That maybe that is making me flare as well.
I have about 3 more weeks before I am heading on vacation so I am really looking forward to that. It is going to be two weeks off. Still unsure about what I am doing but I am hoping to take it easy.
Like I said guys. I am heading into burnout and even though in the past I have had it and tried to help it. In the past it was related to the adrenal glands and fatigue. Right now I don’t even know what to do different.
Tell me in the comments. Have you ever felt like this? What did you do?
