It’s past 1 am …. And I can’t sleep. Probably many of you with EDS can relate.
My ankles hurt. This strange pressure pain which feels like balloons blowing up from the inside is resistant to pretty much any pain meds. Weirdly twisting and bending these ankles makes it feel better, but only while I move them. So yeah …. Try to sleep to that!
I even took a benzodiazepine to sleep, and I should have known it didn’t work; I don’t know why I keep trying!? Do I really believe my body miraculously changes? The truth is, this med will probably knock me out right around 6 am, and I’ll curse myself.
I think I’m just doomed with ankle pain!
I went for a walk, 1 mile ….. I’m not kidding, and I think that triggered the pain. One mile ….. please come on; that’s like nothing. I guess my lovely warehouse job attempt messed them up badly, and now I can wait for who knows how long till they decide not to bother me! Wish me luck!
BTW. I spent my time reading about the newest medical research, clinical trials, and studies for EDS. Maybe if I can’t be productive for myself a great deal of the time, I should at least use my bad genes for research and perhaps a cure one day!
Anyway - good night (maybe)!
