I'm usually really good at this but right now I am having a hard time keeping my stress levels down and as a result In experiencing more and more flares (particularly in my hands and arms). I'm overwhelmed I think fighting with my employer to let me return to work since I've been released back, work comp, a kidney stone that is on its 5th week of me trying to pass it, being a mom to threenager, trying to keep up walking and exercises so I don't lose the progress I've gained...its all kind of coming all at the same time and I just feel like I have nothing left in the tank.

I know what it comes down to is taking more time to rest and take care of myself...but it's so hard to do day to day right now. Hopefully these additional stresses sort themselves out soon...but until then I am just feeling frustrated by flares and exhaustion.

Just needed to vent a little and get that off my chest.
