How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[JanisSPK]

I feel like I’m on some kind of sedative. I just want to sleep. I stayed in bed so long that I became restless. Now I’m going to the gym to burn off some of the energy. I still feel sleepy, though. It’s like I am restless and tired at the same time.

Im in the gym now after crown work at the dentist for 3 hours trying to distract myself and keep from going to bed or just sitting at home while the pain recedes. Im trying to keep my momentum and not miss days at gym working out. Today is low body and really stretching out my IT band on left side as well
Have a great workout!

Tired but OK. Am going to go to bed and see if I can get an hour's sleep. Seriously, of late an hour would be a good night 🫨

Now that you mention your dental ordeal, I had the thought that maybe my body is sort of recuperating. I would not think that a couple crowns would take that much out of me. I might be wrong.

Sitting in a chair for 3 hours with mouth wide open like I was today and noisy work being done. Body is reacting to this even if it’s not “invasive” so to speak, but it’s still being bruised, inflammation being created so immune system can be put on alert and activated even if mildly. Mentally and physically wiped me out today. And yes, I believe from my nursing know how that it can wipe you out- how’s that for professional Input?😉. It depends on the condition you are in to begin with and anything else going on as well, chronic or acute. Also the heat if you are in that kind of weather. Let’s see…dehydration possibility ….Nutrition/protein is great for healing and recovery too.
It will just take a few days..be easy with your energy usage…..

That’s quite helpful @JanisSPK , thanks a lot! I have not getting enough protein lately. My hydration is passable, but could be better. And yes I am in the heat dome or whatever it’s called. We had record heat over the weekend and the week so far is not much better.
