(no subject)

I cancelled on the work at uni.
Didn't sleep well, and when I woke at quarter to 7, I was hot and my hands/wrists/feet were aching.
Left message at the uni because dealing with documents/photocopying would not be good for my ankles and wrists, had ibuprofen, went back to bed.
Slept till just before 11am. Woke up with even more joints aching. Most of them, ankles, knees, hips, wrists, shoulders...have had another ibuprofen, it's down to a dull roar at the moment and not quite so hard to walk.

I don't know whether it was the rotten westerlies from yesterday (weather tends to affect my arthritis), whether I'm having an arthritis flare, or it's psychosomatic (though I wasn't feeling sick, but I'm really stupid if it is that).
Feeling a little like a failure and coward.
