Not feeling too great
Ugh - I'm definitely not at my best this morning. At the moment I'm trying to decide whether to take some painkillers for a slight headache. I might need to take the strong ones later today if the muscle pain doesn't improve. I'm very achey, and feeling so sore that even the towel across my shoulders after my shower was hurting. I hope I'm not going into another flare up.
Mentally I'm definitely feeling better than I was. I'd hesitate to say normal. I've been up and down for so long I've forgotten what normal is, and living with this amount of pain isn't what I'd call normal either.
I had a thought about the sore lips. Maybe it's the new medication. I know that people on chemotherapy often get mouth ulcers, so perhaps it's the new meds making my lips sore. The timescale would be about right. I've tried everything I can think of now and they're still sore. Sometimes it's almost as if my saliva is burning them.
