Hugs, Barbara A in Auburn CA
Dalton,
Don't feel badly about it, it happens to all of us, and we do it over and over
again. Sometimes it isn't even what you did today or yesterday, but the total
of a few days in a row. Your body just doesn't behave as we want it to ~ not
your fault or any one of ours, just the way it is. I cannot tell you how many
times I've read on here about any one of us writing in how we've done ourselves
in and had to go to bed for a day or several days to get over it.
I wish that I could tell you it'll never happen again, but it will. You will
eventually get used to it happening and know what to do to make yourself "feel
better". That's the best advice I can give. However, I would totally enjoy
the strong days if you can afford to take it easy afterward. Life is meant to
be lived and enjoyed to the best that you can. Go for it when you can.
Take care and a big hug to you, Barbara A

You’re absolutely right.
That is exactly what I did, and not for the first time. I must keep reminding
myself that current stamina is illusory and an unreliable measure of what
pertains over a week or longer. I have to take it easy on strong days.
Thanks!

Hi Dalton,
I don't know if anyone else has asked this or not, but could you have overdone
it? Most of us know that if we push ourselves too much it seems to look like a
relapse and takes a bit to get over it. It can take a day to several days till
we are back to what is the new normal for us. I've had TM for 11 years (I
thought it was 12 until I did the math recently) and I continue to overdo it on
a regular basis. I've been trying to get some things done around the house and
have been focused on that, not on myself. I really did myself in 3 times in
the past 2 weeks. The mind/body connection isn't really strong with me lately.
I'm not saying that this is what is happening to you, and of course, keep your
doctor's appointment. But, it's definately something to keep in mind. If not
for now, but also in the future, our bodies ain't what they use to be! It's a
shame, but true!
Hugs, Barbara A in Auburn CA

I have an appointment in a few days. I am better today. Don’t know what
happened. Totally weak. Got better as the day went by and I had to work
through it, moving and resting, moving and resting. Today I am much better.
Thanks!

I am really sorry to hear this. Have you contacted your doctor - if so, what
does he say about it?

Friends;
Today awoke extremely weak, and out of breath with the least expenditure of
effort. By 10:00 had lost a lot of muscle coordination and all strength. Just
went from sitting in one chair to another. Sweating profusely. But still no
seizures.
