I've been busy helping to hand rear 5 puppies over the last 2-3 weeks. Their mother became very ill during labour, had to have a c section and blood transfusion, and was so ill she was unable to be with/feed her pups. So it's been 2-3 hrly feeding/sterilising bottles/washing......general mayhem in our house since then. They are gorgeous, but we are now beginning to resemble zombies. Next week should be even more fun when they start to be weaned! All this whilst we have 5 dogs of our own and a petcare business to run. I guess its no surprise that I'm VERY tired and aching all over. I am still having a nap in the afternoon, but the last few days I seem to be hitting a brick wall with exhaustion. My joints ache constantly, and my skin is still driving me mad. I only seem to be able to manage for a few hours at a time, then have to rest. I'm also much slower than I used to be before . I have constant brain fog, and keep forgetting things, and sometimes just can't get the right words out. Steroids have a lot to answer for. I can't seem to stop moaning all the time about how I feel, just wish I could be more positive, but it's really hard when every morning is such a struggle and you feel like you're wading through treacle just to get washed and dressed, never mind doing anything else.
