Over did it, but I'm fine

Orthrus June 17th, 2021

We needed to sell my father's caravan and I over did it a bit with physically manhandling things. My uncle was kind enough to do the driving as my knees can barely handle driving a normal car, let alone my dad's doublecab pickup with a caravan in tow to boot, but as stubborn as I tend to be I didn't let him do all of the physical work.

Had to drop the hitch on the pickup as it was set up for a trailer which was too high for the caravan, was crawling around on the ground to lift the stabalising legs, manhandled the tow-hitch to get the caravan to seat properly and then the journey took almost an hour, which in it self generally enflames my entire body. Combine that with the winter cold weather, my knee's are rather angry with me, my whole body hurts and is inflamed and my neck/shoulder is tight/in spasm again.

The thing is though, I'm fine. I'm used to the physical pain and to my body's quirks from the connective tissue disorder. It's easier to cope with than the Bipolar.

@Orthrus Weather changes really effect my pain levels. I have taken Turmeric which helps a great deal. My pain management Dr can't say enough good things about it.

That's somethink to keep in mind, thanks wink

I'm trying to increase my body's natural butyrate production to help with combatting inflammation in my body. There's no permanent solution for the source of my pain but reducing other "unnecissary"/or the amount of inflammation, should help.
