I posted this on my personal (not professional) FB account today, and realized I should share this with everyone.

The chronic fatigue aspect of hypermobility disorders is brutal.

****

Trying very very hard to not be enraged at the chronic fatigue aspects of my body.

I’m so tired of having Weak Pancake Days, where I can’t sit upright longer than an hour (maybe two) before my joints bottom out and I’m puddled on the floor, flat as a pancake and too weak to lift my phone.

They’re never going away, and they are becoming more frequent as I age.

This is so much harder to accept than the pain. I can take painkillers. I can fight through it.

There’s literally nothing you can do on a Weak Pancake Day except lie on the floor as often as needed and stare at the ceiling.

Maybe I just need to find a way to make this… something.

Music time? Audio books? Very very light restorative yoga?

Now that I understand how nearly impossible it is for my body to function at all with the genetic code it was granted… I try to be in awe of what it CAN do on a Good Day. But damn. This sucks on a rough one.
