That happens to me a lot. I take my morning meds, get one of my support workers to make me a brew and stay put until I can move safely - if I'm still in too much pain i have a bed day and just sleep through it. The trick is to listen to your body and when it says stop obey it xxx
I have found that sitting in a hot tub, first thing in the morning is a great way to start your day.
Thank you , every day is a new day and I always try and be as positive as possible, so I roll over take my pills and then get up as soon as they kick in, head to work once hubs has helped me dress and see what the day has in store, we all need to try and keep things as normal as possible, keep moving and going, because if we give in or up, we have ben beaten and its won.......and im a winner xxxx God Bless to you all.
It takes me, on average, about 45 minutes to an hour before I can move freely enough to get out of bed. I wake up, take my medication, and lay there until everything feels okay enough for me to get up and move around. My husband always does the "stand-by" next to my side of the bed in case I need any help.
Every morning is different, this morning I am aching everywhere and for some reason my feet are really sore and stiff , so I'm lying here in bed waiting for 6am and then I have to get up for work and push through it all!
