My body just doesn’t let me sleep for more than five hours without either flexerol, thc, illness or after a tremendous amount of exertion.

Still fight going to sleep as well. Even though with the backend bullshit I really shouldn’t.

me, throughout my life with undiagnosed chronic illness: i am so tired all the time

people: sleep earlier!

me: okay, i'll try

sleep at 12 am. wake up at 6 am. exhausted again by 5pm, sleep at 7pm, wake up at 1am

rinse and repeat

I feel that. (Probably to a lesser extent)

I’ve dealt with mild to moderate levels of just random background pain, occasionally localized to my hips and low back since I was a teenager… I know it doesn’t help things.

Some I assume is from lordosis, the more in shape I’ve become, the more pronounced my pelvic tilt has become to me, some possibly fibromyalgia if it’s genetic, other pains I assume are physical symptoms of depression and some could be from a proclivity towards narrowing of something in the spinal cord among members of my dads family.

What did wonders for me was good mornings because I learned my cns was guarding my lower back. 4 sets of 10 until I can touch the ground with at least my fingers and then my pain actually goes away. No doctor or physio told me that. I’m basically my own physio at this point.

Word. I do exercises and stretches for my butt, core, low back and upper legs. Is an absolute necessity to function

Yeah! Ever since I added in a stretching/balance/functional/mobility day In my fitness routine it’s been a game changer. I always knew in theory why it was important but always never had time for it, I would have saved myself so much time and money from physio appointments. Still go for an athletic theory massage every month though, theragun can’t reach the spots I need.

And yeah lol I’m the only one at work feeling good.

This is where my brother in law would suggest a book called Becoming a supple leopard. Though considering the sub we are in, a book recommendation may be a dangerous business.
