TFD
Total Fatigue Day.
Perennial allergies -- severe -- for the past few days. Inflammation all over, especially knees, ankles, and neck. Spasticity. Tension. Lowered seizure threshold. Freezing hands and feet.
I am giving myself permission to complain.
Dear body, get better or else.
I've been doing some research on cerebral palsy's effects overall, how it leads to other disorders and problems down the road. Things my doctors never explained. I am learning about it all through talking with other members of the cerebral_palsy community.

This post made me realize many things. And made me understand just what I need to do to work with myself.
I remember physical therapy as a child. That's it. Not sitting down with various doctors to discuss what might happen in my adult years with other medical problems; certainly not epilepsy or inflammatory disorders or allergies or fatigue problems or breathing problems or hypersensitivity or anxiety. Then again, everyone was too busy concentrating on the therapy. I understand.
I'm not exhausted enough to want to sleep, not energized enough to even climb stairs.
Lunch break in less than an hour. I'll see how I feel after food. No refined sugars. My body asks for chicken and mushrooms and citrus fruit, maybe a banana. My boss should have his miraculous homeopathic allergy anti-inflammatory tincture in the office if I still feel like hell.
