Bad night sweats

[SBee]

Thank you @sunkacola I definitely accept and appreciate your hug!
Going through a bad patch atm. I know it will pass but we all have times when you feel a bit defeated by it all. Its that time when one condition \symptom rears up worse than ever and every other one joins in. Fingers crossed it will even out. I just need to rest a little more, both physically and mentally. Thanks

Oh no @Harpy, thats ok. I think it hit me just at the time when the simple images made me admit that I really do not let on just how hard living with chronic condition(s) can be. And put bluntly, how crap it can make you feel. I suspect thats true for most of us.
You put on that little smiling face, and if people ask how you are, its generally answered with 'oh, not bad' yet rarely say how it really is...

The images definitely say how it is. I am waiting on some ink and I am finally going to print them out and put them on my fridge
That so true, I always say “yeh , I’m ok “ . Funnily when I say that to my osteopath he says no your not, I know how you are.

Hence the importance of this forum. You can tell it how it really is, because we are all in the same boat to varying degrees.

100% true, there are very knowledgeable people here and can say some beautiful things back .

My struggle atm is bathing. Can't bath or shower for last couple of years due to pain and stiffness, and weak painful hands. The pain clinic said to get adult social services involved - I had to do that for my mum, in her late 80's, so to do so for myself, in my 50's ( only just ) was a bit depressing.

I bet it would be, you’re still a spring chicken. I don’t know how I have made it this far without home care I know my days of full self care are fasting closing in, hence why I have been taking any injection coming at the moment, have two tomorrow.

I am printing these little images just to remind me not to try to hide things from myself as much

Not only putting those images on my fridge I will keep them in my purse too . So the next person says you look well will get them promptly shown to.
