A decision to Rest

[MrsMarigold]

Hello lovely people. I’m usually on lupus forum but decided to join this one as well.

My aunt had PMR and was put in a nursing home. Three children and no one to help?

Anyway I relate to many of PMR symptoms and I have other AI diseases Sogrens, Thyroid hashimotos, EM/Erythremyalgia, Alopecia and a constant battle with oral thrush.

I really like this forum for great info, references and kindness.

I’m just stopping in to address something I recently decided to do; thought I would share. Every month I purposely step away from my illness. At least a week. No forum, no research and no doctor appointments. No pressure to get anything done or figure something out. I’m totally engaged in my activities from “beforehand.” The ones I can still engage.

This life strategy makes me more human. More “me.” I rest away from it all. I’m calmer. I feel better. I feel more healed. Just a suggestion/may work for you too. MrsMarigold

That’s a good idea! Like giving yourself a holiday 🙂.

I’m glad you also understand this as a decision to choose calm. Never thought of it as a holiday but from now on I will! That’s perfect! x

Wonderful! I have been thinking of doing something similar myself. I can really see the potential benefits.

Me too sounds like a great idea

MrsMarigold’s post really resonated with me. I’ve been focused on my health issues for the past few years, especially recently. I now realise that I need to nurture my ‘self’ too. Best wishes to you. 😊
