It has been a month since the infected tooth was pulled and while I am recovering very well, it is slower than I would like. Over the past weeks my energy levels have started to return, and while I get fatigued later in the day, it has not been as severe. I still experience chills, muscle and joint aches, digestive issues, and brain fog, but less severe than I am used to. My digestive problems improve a little each week. My fevers are not as severe, barely even register as a fever, that has been one of the biggest changes. I’m optimistic that I will continue to improve. It has been a couple of weeks since my last fever and weeks is a major record for me.
Feeling better could not have come at a better time, there were two sudden deadlines at work and I need to be a rockstar programmer for another week. Being a rockstar programmer means I let myself hyperfocus for hours, working from 9am until after 6pm each night without more than bathroom breaks. I will accomplish days worth of work within hours. Without ample breaks this will burn me out, the fibro doesn’t help. I’m going to need a good rest once I’m done with these projects, I need to recharge for the next time they need me to rockstar it at work.
