#chronic nausea

[stellaltumi]

my chronically ill best friend just said "I feel like the side effects part of a medication commercial" SO FUCKING TRUE BABE

[fatallyfaee]

It’s never going to go away.

Things I wish I knew before I got diagnosed with a chronic illness

You’ll forget - Sometimes you’ll straight up forget you have a condition, that you have a disability, and that others don’t feel like you

Your most important job is to stay alive - Everything else is secondary, as long as you stay alive you have achieved something

It’s okay to cry - It’s normal, chronic illness is sucky, but don’t cry for too long or focus too hard on everything that’s wrong because it will make things worse

Your body is in a war, be kind - Your body is constantly fighting against itself, give it time to rest and heal, eat food and drink, do what you can to aid in the battle

If you feel like you can’t do it, you can - Have a cry, eat some ice cream and have a nap, when you wake up you’ll find the strength to keep going

Some advice from younger me; January of 2021 (I just found it stashed away)

me mentioning to someone that i’m pretty nauseous and them asking me if i need to stay home from an event. girl if i stayed home every time i felt like vomiting i would literally never leave my house ever

[disability-and-cats]

please stop immediately giving disabled people suggestions when they talk about their pain, it's not a free pass to assume we haven't tried the most basic things ever before :/

(it's like assuming we haven't thought to drink water if we're thirsty)

The barometric pressure drops and suddenly I cannot function.

Chronic illness is ridiculous.

I hate that somedays I can eat a pretty normal amount of food and other days I smell something and get super nauseous

Just a fellow spoonie 🥄 here to share a relatable hilarious 😄 video.

Being chronically ill, you have to learn to find the humor in your diseases. For me, it's a major way I get by day to day.

This made me smile, I hope it can make you smile as well.

Me, on a good day: there’s literally nothing wrong with me and there never was I was literally just being a baby. I don’t feel great but like this isn’t that bad

Me, on a bad day: OH THE HORRORS HAVE COME UPON ME AGAIN. THE LIGHT HAD BLINDED ME THIS IS THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN EVER.

Maybe this is a hyper-specific niche of chronically ill folk I'm talking to rn, but to my chronically ill folks who deal w/ nausea but have emetophobia, I see you and I am you

I get nauseous all the time and it dosent get less scary for me, but by god am I so brave about it.

Except for when I dont have anything that can counter my nausea 🧍🏽‍♂️

WHY DOES EVERYTHING I DO MAKE ME FEEL SICK??!?

Drink water? You’re nauseous now

Drink anything but water? You’re nauseous now

Don’t Drink at all? You’re nauseous now

Car rides? You’re nauseous now

Sit up? You’re nauseous now

Stand up? You’re nauseous now

Eat? You’re nauseous now

Don’t eat? You’re nauseous now

Panic about being nauseous? Find a bin immediately

[stellaltumi]

ah yes, the age old question:

am I getting over being sick, or did my baseline get worse

[fatallyfaee]

Chronic fatigue is so funny.

Cause why did I just sleep for 14 hours straight and I’m still tired.

[chronicallycouchbound]

I always joked for YEARS that Tums is “nausea chalk” as a silly little joke.

I knew that Tums are made up of calcium carbonate, plus some sweeteners and flavorings and color.

Regular chalk is just straight up calcium carbonate. So…

Tums ARE nausea chalk!!!!

disabled people who do chores, do u hav a top worst chore?

[sickandinlove7]

It sucks being stuck. Especially when you are stuck because of other people’s decisions. In therapy we always talked about choices I can make to move forward. And now, I can’t because of people who only care about themselves.
