Well it’s been a few weeks since my last post and the yo yo effect has been on permanently lately. One minute I am feeling fine like nothing can stop me and the next minute I am a complete emotional wreck which is not caused by anything in particular.

I did share on my Facebook page the other day and article that came up on my main Facebook timeliness in regards to working with a form of arthritis. It is based around people in a working environment living with an arthritis condition.  I work 4 x 10 hour shifts a week  then have 3 days off in between so I have adequate rest in between shifts plus I inject medication on my first day off so if I am not feeling 100% I know I have the recovery time in between shifts.

A frequent question I do get asked by people is “how do you manage it? Working full time plus being a full time mum to a toddler.” The answer is I have to! If I let myself get really down about my illness it will just drag everything else down with me. I’m not the sort of person who gives up very easily on things if I feel absolute rubbish and I know I should be resting, most of the time I am constantly pushing myself to get things done when I know in the long run its going to make me worse.

Yes life needs to stop and slow down when you know deep down you are going to regret doing something the next day but deep in my head I know I push myself for my family. I want to make sure my little one has everything she’ll need growing up and that we have quality family time together when we can.
