It’s been a few weeks since I have made a blog post. The excessive heat got the better of me and I encountered challenges to getting even the simplest task done. Since my early teens summer has been challenging for me. I had to be careful when I was outside as becoming lightheaded and dizzy was an issue. It still is.
As someone who suffers from Fibromyalgia, the summer season can be challenging. With the excessive heatwave we have had, (I live in Tucson), the Fibromyalgia has been intensive. Fatigued was overwhelming almost everyday the temperatures were over 100. The heatwave lasted for 2-3 weeks straight so it’s taking time to recover.
Another thing I learned was that in excessive weather depression can be exasperated. This helps me to understand why, during the excessive heatwave, not only was my fatigue an issue, but why I did not want to even do anything.
In the past few days, I have been able to accomplish some things. Not to the level it was before the heatwave, but it’s a start.
I would highly recommend that anyone who has felt a difference in how they feel physically, mentally, and emotionally, get help.
I am keeping this post short. I’m hoping, praying really, that by next week I will be able to have a topic and share more thoughts are that topic.
In the meantime, have a great week.
Blessings.
