Sorry for myself

I have had a lousy cold for over a week,endless runny nose, sneezing and coughing( it's not COVID)

My dry eyes are getting worse the hospital want to put blocks in.my tear ducts

Raynaud's troublesome and I'm assured it's not cold

Oh not to mention the frequent need to urinate

Oh well plenty to talk to rheumatologist about on Wednesday

Sorry for the negativity,hard to keep positive for the family

here’s where you can offload. A big hug coming your way. Wallow in it for a while then I hope your body turns the corner from the cold and you start coming back up the other side. Take care xx

Wrap yourself up, put on a movie or something that makes you laugh & be kind to yourself. Maybe a bar of chocolate too!No need to apologise! We all have our moments. As we have such a mountain to climb we can't always be positive! You're going through a rough spell but at least the cold will go at some point!

You can shout scream or cry here at anytime. We're all here for you!!! A big hug from me !!! Xxx

Oh Kathleen I feel your pain! Sometimes it’s just all too much! And then if a family member needs to unload and you have to appear positive it makes you want to run away and never come back! It won’t last though and things will improve but maybe your family don’t always have to see the positive you, it’s okay to feel sorry for yourself sometimes. Take care and feel better.
