7 Days Into August...

It's only seven days into August and I'm on a 4-day flare up. Not really too bad, but enough to slow me down.  On day 1 I was so medicated, on an empty stomach, that I would sway.  On day 2, I couldn't get up from the couch without my walker.  On day 3 parts hurt everywhere. Today, day 4, I hurt everywhere that didn't hurt yesterday! LOL

It's my own fault - too much sugary drinks lately. Tonight I said, "Fuck it!" and actually ate two smallish pieces of crust from my pizza. The other pieces I skipped the crust.  I was going to fast this week - guess I'll start tomorrow! LOL

Time to medicate and go find the recliner.

Three-day Flare Up

How long does a flare up last? Mine last about three days it seems.  My last one was three days and a little more, but I was able to function and go to work so at the end of it.

The weather has been wonderful the past few days. After a flare up I feel like Wonder Woman! I have to be careful to not overdo - lest I go right back into waves of pain! It's been alright though. I got all caught up on laundry, dishes, dusting up golden retriever fuzz and cooking! I miss cooking the most.

So, since I have the morning yet, I'm off to jump rope and then bake some gluten-free brownies!
