Lisa’s medicinal Baileys Irish cream in her souvenir rheinfahrt wine tasting glass, her orange shag carpet providing the background. And a sunflower painting crafted by her mother

The #RevoltingBody is being a bastard son of a bitch this month, which is just rude because it’s my #BirthdayMonth. I’m going to enjoy a #MedicinalBaileysIrishCream or two tonight and I don’t care what the consequences are tomorrow for my #RheumatoidArthritis. Tonight Lisa is in charge!

Excellent! The #RevoltingBody has pretty much slept and daydreamed the day away. It’s been a very long and exhausting three weeks. Second half of #Tracker s2 hasn’t dropped here in Australia, but a new season of #Reacher has!! Teeth clean, cosied up and now it’s time for season three.

Actually. May also be useful as I spend the next 3 months going through my #PrimarySources to re-plot my chapters for the #LongAwaitedOftAvoidedThesis. 6 January 2026 will be the 20th anniversary of its commencement, which seems a good submission date. Fingers crossed my #RevoltingBody CFDs!!

And yes. I am very aware that there are people out there going through a lot worse than me with #MyRheumatoidArthritisJourney. But all the crap that #LongCOVID has wrote on my #RevoltingBody over the past two years, makes me go all #MeMeMe every now and then. So apologies. I am aware of this.

Post a picture of yourself to show the newbies what they're dealing with…

Smiling through the pain & ouchies. Permanently dishevelled thanks to #HotFlushes and #HighBloodPressure, which results in, what I call, #WaterfallHead. Sometime, I want to try and get back to my academics. #RevoltingBody

Only walking for exercise? Here’s how to get the most out of it There are ways to incorporate strength-training components into walking to improve your muscle strength and balance.

Given the state of my #RevoltingBody at the moment, this article was most useful. As the RB enable me to walk about without a crutch, I can add a few simple things in there to increase the health benefits of my slow, staggering walks.

Sleepy and sore. P!nk was awesome, but my gods I’m feeling the impact throughout my #RevoltingBody.
