July 2026

A new month is here, but no changes. STILL waiting on DWP and solicitor to get sorted out, STILL waiting on Wendy's house to be sorted and sold. Really fed up, just want to get on with it, been going on too long.

1st: Was having a nice sleep 😞 guess I should get out of bed. Left hip in agony, as well as lower back, neck in pain too, but things to do. On getting out of bed, discovered my left knee was weak again this morning.

NOT a good start to the new month.

Afternoon Update - Ok, seems this evening I'm "drop things Phil" yogurts, a roll I made for lunch, and just now my phone on the floor 😕 what gives?

Evening Update - That's my day done..... dropped one of my tablets went to vend down to pick it up and my back decided to send a message..... a shooting pain, just what I needed. Bed for me, after I have gabapentin and some cbd oil.

2nd: Achy but it's manageable, I should get out of bed. As I did putting weight on my feet seemed to start my left hip hurting and lower back too.  Must have my medication.

Feeling sick again with moving about, not sure why? this feeling makes me feel worse.

3rd: Was having a nice sleep, until grass cutting started. I guess I should get up. Back hurting and both hips, feel like scratching inside the bone, not a nice feeling.

4th: That sleep was needed, woke up sneezing like a trouper, eyes streaming, neck and back killing me too. Got a thumping headache.... it feels humid 🥵. Got Cosmo and Harley later.

Afternoon Update - Been doing bits outside in garden, my back is killing me now, think I pushed myself too hard.... damn it 😞.

I push myself to get things done, but why do I always go too far? It's the same with everything I do.

5th: An achy start to the day, been sneezing a bit too. 

It was good having Cosmo and Harley here yesterday, so well behaved they were too.

What happened to the sun and warmth yesterday? it turned a little damp and chilly.

6th: Just after midnight - Not feeling well, just been sick, am shaking and aching all over. Feel like crap.

Morning Update - Was sick in the night, could have done with more sleep this morning, left knee weak, left hip hurting, fibro through the roof, but have to get up and attempt to get the day started.

Evening Update - Ended up back in bed this afternoon, came over drained, not too sure why. A bit achy with it too in various places.

2nd Evening Update - Fibromyalgia ramping up pain again.... damn it, didn't see this coming this evening, kind of crept up on me, going to be one of those nights.

7th: Didn't sleep too good on the night, pain was at about a 9 out of 10. Seems to have subsided a little, down to a 7. Feel drained right now. Wonder how I will get through the day.

Been trying to book a camper for Nozstock but not having any luck, may have left it too late... oh well.

Afternoon Update - I've done it again, pushed myself too hard. Hadn't long managed to reduce Fibro to a place where I could do things, I've since had it ramp up again.

Evening Update. - Feeling drained - think pillow time is needed, Fibromyalgia can do that.

8th: A bit better today, but still achy, about 6 out of 10. Must get up as I got to get to the dentist later. On getting out of bed I discovered my left knee is weak.

Mid Morning Update - I guess I should sort myself out, need to get ready for the dentist, also need some shopping too... but my left hip is aching and my left knee is a little weak too.

Early Afternoon Update - Well, I got my new top teeth, and it's going to take a bit of time to get used to them. My S's already sound less lispy snake like.

My new teeth: Update - Tried eating strawberries and also a slice of bread with my new teeth in, feels weird. I have used a bit of Fixodent on them (tasteless, all day hold, stops food getting under it).

Feeling achy and a bit drained this early evening.

9th: A bad night's sleep, kept waking up with twinges, also bad acid reflux. This morning very achy, especially in the lower back and neck, and also shoulders.

Afternoon Update - Tripped over the watering can in the kitchen, hurt my foot and started my back off again 🫣, pain killers and afternoon nap while they kick in.

Evening Update - I'm off to bed, not feeling too good this evening.

10th: Fibro acting up this morning, very achy and feel sick with it too, must get up as need to water my plants if I can manage to that is. Think it was the heat in the night that worked with the Fibromyalgia.

Afternoon Update - Skin is itchy, few limbs feel like I want to crack open the bone and scoop out the inside.... just hate this feeling.

11th: Woken up feeling very sweaty, sticky and very itchy, back and neck killing me too, and feel headachy and sick with it - NOT a good start to the day, seems pointless trying to stay in bed.

Afternoon Update - Seem to be having breathing issues, tight chest, feels a bit painful with it, almost acid reflux type pain. Was sitting outside earlier in the shade and was fine.

12th: Too hot and sticky to get to sleep 😞

Edit - just been sick, now feeling very weak, lucky I have some coconut water, that will help, will just sip that.

Just after 6am - Didn't sleep too well at all, after I was sick, I just couldn't get comfortable, tossed and turned all night. Right now my back and neck hurts and I feel exhausted.
