Getting back to normal after a flare up

[Echo1999]

Hey everyone, I was just wondering how you guys feel after coming out of a flare up? I'm on day 5? I think but I wasn't in total agony when getting out of bed this morning so I'm hopeful it's starting to tail off. I still feel drained, and I'm struggling getting back into a routine, eating well and drinking water etc, usually I love working out and yoga but feel like I've taken 10 steps backwards with any progress I've made. Anyone else feel this way? I guess it's just hard to return to "normal" life again. And ever harder to be patient with ourselves whilst navigating that. I hope someone understands what I'm trying to say x

I'm like you. I love working out. I'm addicted to exercise. But I'm 9 weeks into a flare up of migraines, bloating, digestive problems, back pain so bad I want my spine cut out to make space for the cysts, the inflammation. Yesterday morning the bleeding finally started with almighty bowel pain. I haven't been able to attend my gym because sometimes I can't get into my gym trousers and the fear I'll start the period and pass out driving home. I took a multivitamin with iron and a protein shake at bed time because I was terrified to eat incase it all shot out like the morning episode. I'm going for a walk today. My friend knows about my endo. She's been super supportive and knows if I say we need to go back she won't moan. Lots of supportive hugs.
