3/3 sleep the last few nights? What is the temperature today? It can take detective work and trial and error to work out what the issue is.

If you find it hard to identify what's up when you feel 'off' - you aren't alone. There's thousands of us all trying to work it out too.

2/3 Often I might just feel 'wrong' but not know why. Then I find having a checklist handy.

Sometimes the questions I ask prompted by the checklist aren't 'Do I feel hungry/tired/cold?' etc but rather 'might I *Be* hungry/tired/cold.' - When did I last eat/drink and how much? Did I miss any -

(Yes, soggy knees are, in my opinion, by far the best option given the available choices)

if anyone asks you not to go near them when you are ill, please take it seriously. It could be the difference between life and death.

- unreasonable etc - we are often making a well informed choice that the health care practitioner needs to understand in order to support and help us - there are factors in our every day life that the HCP won't know about unless they ask and listen.

Oh no! I have the setting for ‘tell me if I try posting without alt’ but it seems to have missed it :( I’m too brain fogged to work out if I can sort it now. Sorry.

2/2 ... the brain fog, inability to process, inability to think or read, having to carefully schedule times to reply to emails to maximise my ability to function as needed. They *really* struggled to grasp it!

But for you, what you did was exhausting, so it's not surprising today is rough!"

So yep. It catches us all out sometimes. And replies that point out the truth while being totally accepting, non judgmental, and with a touch of joy and humour really do help!

Oh I hear you! The last time I got unsliced bread, I got fooled by ‘yay! Feeling alive!’ proprioceprion hadn’t loaded, and yes, it ended exactly as expected!

and I think tired out some muscles a bit too much - so got a bit of extra hip instability niggling at me today. And the related pain is, quite frankly, interfering with my day! Definitely a day where this card comes in handy.
