That image of rising like a tree is the positive opposite of 'naff' (nothing against a little naff at times) it calmed my nervous system reading it and from my bed (in hospital) I've used it already. Your writing touches and moves me and for that I'm very grateful to you. It's deeply satisfying to connect here. x
You have written so much I can relate to. You know about my ME and what I’ve achieved and it’s always lovely sharing this part of our lives. Thank you for writing such a relevant post. I have had health issues my entire adulthood and they have taken time to extend - adding things up due to the start of it. One word reading that has stuck with me… etymology! It is my passion in life to simply read and it took a year post surgery to be possible and I’m still working on it. It will never be quite what it was due to the dent in my head but I’ve never stopped working on it! I have been told to have a feeling of self compassion as I haven’t been particularly positive - understanding that has started my positivity being there a little bit more 😊
Thank you. To a certain extent we are at the mercy of our ailments, but like you say, through positivity and kindness to ourselves we can create rich and fulfilling lives nonetheless. I have an amazing life, but just like you I've had to learn my body and what I can and can't do, and most importantly when to stop and withdraw.
I admire your resolve and determination. 💪🙌🙏 I became allergic to metformin after many years on it. Now on ozempic which has stabilized me. But went through a similar experience with the sleeping. It's very hard to resign to it
Thank you for sharing this. When I'm as tired as I was last week I stop caring how much I sleep, it's only when I start recovering that I can feel pangs of frustration, thinking I ought to be able to do more 🤓
I love the image of ‘Rise like a tree’ ☺️ You have such a lot to deal with Lisa. I’ve worked with children with hypermobility, it’s a deeply misunderstood condition and is so much more than bendy joints. Take care and do what you and your body needs ❤️
Thank you, Lesley. It just takes me a long time to recover when I over-exert myself, AND it's taken me a long time to realise this. Now I just let myself rest, as much as it takes. ♥️

This comment from you, Cindy, makes writing this post worthwhile. Wishing you a speedy, but restful recovery. Much love ♥️
I was just going to write no way naff!!! Wonderful to see I’m not alone ☺️
