Easter reflections on how the body is doing

Easter is just around the corner and for most people that means a couple of days of free time. For me it means that I am doing on call shifts for the hospital, because...that is exactly what working in health care means. You work when others are free. I don't mind, because it also means that I am free on other days when others are working.

The last couple of days I have been feeling like shit, and today I feel sort of properly rested for the first time in days again, yet waking up again with a decent headache for absolutely no reason. Well no reason, no reason....I think the majority of the times when you are not feeling you are up to your A-game, when you honestly look deep down, you surely can conclude where this is coming from.

There is no reason for this nice lake/mountainshot. Just because the weather will be good again over the weekend, makes me feel liking posting sunny shots.

In general when I am not feeling that swell, it is my own fault. Or the lack of doing something about it what I had to be doing already. For instance, the last couple of days were dominated by just sleeping. Eat, sleep, netflix, repeat. The weather wasn't nice and I really could feel that the only thing that my body wanted to do was to rest. Brain shut down, body shut down. Deep down I know that the body already wanted this last week, but for some reason I didn't take care of this and I still ended up with watching nothing important until morning hours even though I had told myself that I need to catch up with the inside of my eyes. Talk about having no backbone...yeah...I really just don't have it.

Well luckily I gave in to the feeling this week, with staying in bed for days which does make me feel mentally more rested, but the body isn't used to lying down that much. So already I was looking at getting massages somewhere to fix up my back, which is literally unaffordable here in Switzerland, just as that so many other things are literally ridiculously expensive. Home yoga it will be to stretch things up.

Also with this beautiful incoming weather my hayfever is coming back, as I am waking up with watery red eyes . I remember writing a post about this last year about that I don't like to pump myself with medication on this, and that @artemislives responded that a big detox would really help to this getting the toxin levels down. Yeah I should have done this maybe, eating more decent, cutting out all the crap, but doing that a whole year to get rid of the red eyes and sneezing...I dunno. What I also could have done, is started with immunosuppressents already in autumn, so the body had time to build up decent levels of cortisones so I would be ready for this season. Or I could have seen a physical therapist who would have put the medical tapes on me, triggering the energy tracks that also accupuncture work on (this helped me a lot with dealing with symptoms, but again...dealing ith symptoms is just toooooo late Karin)

You see, this is what happens with people who work in healthcare. Or at least the ones that I know. We are super good in analyzing ourselves, but we make terrible patients. That is the conclusion that Easter will again give me
