Started this post back in mid June, I had hurt my wrist and was trying to enter this with DragonDictate but unfortunately it didn’t seem to want to actually work directly WordPress. I had to get it to pop up the dictation box so I can then paste into WordPress which is a bit frustrating especially as it’s meant to support it natively. Last year around March I had the same problem with my right wrist swelling up and painful.
For the few weeks between my last post and starting to write this I’ve not been too bad. Oh, I’ve been fatigued, but not felt as bad with the other things. I could almost start believing that the folic acid was improving things and it WAS a folate deficiency. Then it came back! Maybe not quite as bad as it was a few weeks ago but then at the time I said it was the worst it has been so that’s not surprising.
I’ve struggled this week, and thinking about it, this had been the case for a while I’ve just not really realised it. I started some DIY in my room but have come to a stop. In fact, for ages I didn’t even start it even though I had bought lots of the resources needed. Eventually I got one 4×2 situated and started painting it. Not got any further though.
This week I haven’t even had the energy to keep my room sorted. I have several bags of washing to sort out and have no energy. I think because I’ve not had as much pain I’ve not noticed that everything else is still bad.
However I think it’s when I went to make this post which had now taken me 4 days to write I’ve realised that things are worse than I’ve been taking note of.
Case in point, can’t write anymore now as I’m sitting here in the cafe in Morrisons and unable to focus on my phone any longer.
How was my day today?
As a very quick visual guide to how my day has been with regard to fatigue, pain, and cognitive dysfunction, I have expressed these as simple lines representing percentages. From 0 meaning no effect, to 100 meaning maximum affect on my day.
Fatigue
- Background 30%
- Peak 70%
Pain
- Background 30%
- Peak 60%
Cognitive Dysfunction
- Background 20%
- Peak 40%
