frualeydis These last days I don't even know the state of my exhaustion - because I am in too much pain to think anyway. I am not a fan of having to take tramadol in the morning, I try to limit my usage of opioids to one at night so that I actually can sleep.
But there isn't much one can do, and if I take one I can actually get somethign doen AND be able to take a long walk after work. I can almost always walk unless I have a flare in the joints in my legs, fmovign with a purpose helps to distract me from the pain. Before my exhaustion just thinking and focusing on intellectual work worked to distract me, but that ability has been worn out by too much pressure the last decades. But walking (or biking) is still fine. And it is going to be sunny, though not very warm (max 17 degrees C) today.
But now I hope to be able to focus on "my" 17th century probate inventories, I have foudn some really nice ones (as in content, the German handwritign is often horrible) recently with interesting clothing and textiles.

Someone else in that thread said that stinging the back of her hand with nettles every morning for the past three months has really helped her hayfever, and reduced her back pain.
Since I don't suffer from any of the above, it is all just intellectually interesting to read...
