... relapses are made much worse by the fact that they follow temporary remissions, when we think,
with the eternal optimism of well-being, that we have escaped the clutch of pain for good.
Kat Duff - The Alchemy of Illness

Due to some amazing creative growth spurts in the past few weeks and last few days, and not always listening to my own wisdom about pacing, about doing everything in moderation, my body said No (Remember that character in Little Britain? ...the computer said no...).
Anyway the pain that I have been experiencing the past few days, and the 'crash' yesterday is not a flu (as I thought) but most likely M.E. sticking its ugly head up again.
Fun, and creative adventures still need to taken in moderation.
See you tomorrow!
For now, I leave you with page from my lnto the Light book which reminds me of my own wisdom and of that by Kat Duff: .. relapses are made much worse by the fact that they follow temporary remissions, when we think, with the eternal optimism of well-being, that we have escaped the clutch of pain for good.
