Fatigue is a symptom I suffer with, and I suffer with it often, but for the last few weeks my energy levels have been lower than usual. I'm just tired after being tired, while being tired. With chronic illness, we’re constantly walking the tightrope between what we want to do and what we have the energy to do- and it's not a fun place to be.

I am one of those people that firmly believes in the importance of expressing gratitude, and I am very grateful to have been able to do so much lately. My brain fog hasn't been that bad so I've been able to read a lot, which is something I really love to do, and I've also been able to do some very much needed organizing and planning. My fine motor skills have been pretty good and my hands haven't been very shaky so I've been able to do some cool crafting.

Now don't get me wrong, I haven't been symptom free. My back pain and fatigue levels have been high, but I feel like I've been able to do some things I haven't been able to do much of in the last few months, and I am grateful for it.
