What is a crash?
What is a crash:
A crash is a term used by chronically ill people when their bodies go into shut down.
A crash can happen at any time, it can have many levels of severity, it can last an hour, a day, a week.
A crash consists of your body going into a almost shock, you will be in severe pain usually, and have a wave of fatigue hit you. It is hard to explain, but imagine ifnyou had been awake for 24 hours, imagining how tired you are after that, now picture you then do a 2k run, in this time you have had no food.
Imagine how painful, worn out, tired, and in pain all your muscles would be after this and this is the closest you could be to what it feels like.
So this evening about 10:20? I crashed, severely crashed.
I could not get out of bed, i could not manage to see light, i could not even cope with the feeling of cloths touching my skin. I was a 9/10 on the old pain scale every joint felt like it were on fire. My skin felt like it was burning,and had creature's crawling under it.
I was so tired i couldn't even lift my arm because it felt like i was lifting a car.
This lasted too maybe 1:10am, then it went away, i felt much better.
Just remember a chronically ill person suffers this crap often, it is a horrible thing but we are use to it. Not that any of you would, but it may help you understand a little more but when we say: "sorry i can't come i am crashed" it isn't just us being lazy or giving up, or not wanting to see you. It is because we really well, not feeling very well.
