In the garden

In the garden

What am I doing right now? Laying on my sofa feeling like Im suffering with PMT. However, as I’m meno paused then this is very unlikely. I’m just stuck in a phantom menstrual cycle. It certainly isn’t coming forth at my age. I’ve been more or less laid up the past week since my leg [...]

The Suns coming back out

The Suns coming back out

The sun has got his hat on, hip hip hip hooray. Unfortunately, I’ll be observing from under a parasol, wrapped in SPF and simmering gently in the shade like a forgotten casserole. Why? Because on the 14th, I’m booked in for a lesion excision. Yes. While the rest of the world is out absorbing Vitamin [...]

Exhaustion

Exhaustion

I’m exhausted. So exhausted that it’s bothering me at how exhausted I’m feeling. Fibromyalgia exhaustion isn’t simple tiredness, it’s a heavy, unrelenting fatigue that feels like it’s taken root in every cell. On flare days, it’s like even blinking requires monumental effort. My body aches, my thoughts fog, and everything around me feels out of [...]

A pergola

There’s something magical about Sundays, a day for rest, relaxation, and dreaming. Today, I embrace lazing in bed. As morning light filters through my curtains, I snuggle deeper into my blankets, feeling the warmth. With no rush, I close my eyes and drift into a daydream. In my mind, I’m  under a pergola with cascading [...]
