Well.

I started today feeling unwell after having been just exhausted yesterday – but I had an appointment that was really important so I got going and went out and about.

After my appointment and a few stops, I actually thought I had done pretty well and had gotten everything done.

I was tired – as expected since I started sickly – and hungry – since i hadn’t eaten yet – and I was overconfident I guess since I had made it home – so I was walking to my car to bring a few things in when I suddenly fell HARD on the pavement of our road.

I slammed my left foot and left knee and thigh and my right hand and wrist and shoulder all on the ground and just jolted the HALE out of my whole body.

I honestly have no idea exactly what all I hit because I came inside with several wounds bleeding heavily to address immediately and then through the night I’ve found all sorts of bruises and hematomas blossoming all over.

That sucks = oh yes it does = but what is really upsetting are the odd muscle spasms and nerve pains that I only experience with severe injuries or flares that have set in – and I HATE this feeling.

This sounds particularly crazy but with any sort of major jolt, injury, or severe flare, I have awful muscle spasms in my face and through my jaw as well as gnarly nerve pain – I’ve had TMJ my whole life, this is TMJ x 100 – that doesn’t let up and also causes the “ice blocking” in my lips that I hate.

In short, nasty fall = nasty flare all over.

Yuck.

However, I will be okay as always.

I am likely going to go in for autoinflammatory injections in the morning and then it will be lots of sleep and reading and weenie dog cuddles for me for the next several days.

Be well, everybody. Take care of yourselves and each other.

Grace and Blessings.
