Being in Pain. Expends. Energy.

A friendly reminder for those of us who do very little during the day (by “normal” standards) but are still exhausted

Your body is literally fighting the pain. Fighting takes energy

I know this, but it is still bloody inconvenient to come home intending to Do Stuff, and instead here I am two hours later waking up groggy on the bed with the cat

I’ve been calling it “Pain Drain.”  I’m sad that so many people know how about “pain drain” because they also experience it. 💙💙💙

I say we spread the news, because some people think when we limit activity because we’re in pain, that it’s some kind of vacation. We hate it. It’s no frickin’ picnic.
