EVERYTHING FUCKING HURTS

Morning Nerds 🤓

Back at it after a few days off 💪🏻

This part of my journey and dealing with Fibromyalgia has tested my endurance and mental fortitude to be sure, but I can feel myself growing stronger and I'm proud of my progress.

I am still relatively newer to the chronic illness/injury world in the sense that I've only had a diagnosis or debilitating symptoms for the past five years(give or take, and I know some people experience it for many more years. But I am still well seasoned enough in chronic pain to know that it is exhausting, emotionally draining, isolating, and horrific.

I've been lucky enough to have the past few months, even year, not suck for me. But, due to an inability to see my physical therapist for about two months, sadly I am back to a state of debilitating pain.

And even though I have experienced it before, even though I have first hand knowledge of how it feels to be living with it, even I forgot how tiring and lonely it feels to be in such pain.

So if you have never experienced chronic illness or pain please give grace to those around you that might be dealing with something similar. I know you don't understand. I know it can be annoying. But please reach out and ask how they are, how they are really. Push for how you can help. We don't want to be a bother but it's so nice to have people care and send a kind word. Even if you've been through it it's easy to forget how it feels in the moment(our brains are funny things, darn survival mechanism!)

Just be kind and give grace.

17 Things I Don’t Admit on Bad Days With Chronic Fatigue

--- The most difficult days with chronic fatigue can also be the hardest to discuss. When one of the symptoms of your illness is chronic fatigue, you know any flare day can mean you are unable to take a shower, chat with friends or even leave your house. These physical challenges as well as their mental health effects aren’t necessarily easy to bring up in conversation, especially when others assume you’re “just tired” and will feel better after a good night’s sleep.

To shed light on the effects of chronic fatigue that aren’t often understood or discussed, we asked our Mighty community to reveal what they don’t admit on the bad days of their chronic fatigue. It’s important to note that people with many illnesses experience chronic fatigue, but it should not be confused with chronic fatigue syndrome / myalgic encephalomyelitis, a distinct diagnosis that also includes chronic fatigue as a symptom.

We’re share these answers so others dealing with chronic fatigue know they’re not alone — and so those who have never experienced chronic fatigue can begin to understand the challenges you cope with even when you “seem fine.” --- Continues at:

I've been wanting to make a comic about fibro and cbd forever, but until I can manage that I wanted to share this important info. #covid #fibromyalgia #chronicpain #longcovid If you have questions about CBD oil I'll be happy to answer any questions. It took me a long time to find the right CBD for me. Everyone's biology is different and what works for me may not work for everyone. Don't give up, try different brands as they are often very different. Start low with dosing because CBD has a property where if you take too much for your system, it actually makes fatigue and pain worse. That's why it is NOT a one size fits all type of dosage. (which is really annoying) Good luck and I hope you feel better!

🔥CFS/ME/PEM🔥 - Ein unsichtbarer Feind, der das Leben auf den Kopf stellt.

#florianatopfblume #cwg64d #oculiauris #cfsnordhessen

CFS/ME/PEM steht für Chronisches Erschöpfungssyndrom/Myalgische Enzephalomyelitis/Postexertional Malaise. Es handelt sich um eine oft lang anhaltende, oder chronische und vor allem sehr schwere Krankheit, die das Leben der Betroffenen massiv beeinflusst.

Die Symptome sind vielfältig und reichen von extremer Erschöpfung, die auch durch Ruhe oder Schlaf nicht verbessert wird, über Muskelschmerzen, Gelenkschmerzen, Schlafstörungen, „Gehirnnebel“, Kopfschmerzen, Reizdarmsyndrom, Empfindlichkeit gegenüber Lärm, Licht oder Gerüchen, Schwindel, niedrigem Blutdruck bis hin zu Depressionen und Stimmungsschwankungen.

Es ist wichtig zu beachten, dass diese Symptome variieren und nicht alle Betroffenen alle Symptome haben.

Die genaue Ursache von CFS/ME/PEM ist noch nicht vollständig verstanden und es gibt derzeit keine spezielle Behandlung. Es ist daher wichtig, die Forschung in diesem Bereich zu fördern.

Linderung kann durch sanfte Bewegung, Vermeidung von Schadstoffen, ausreichend Sauerstoff und möglichst wenig emotionalen und körperlichen Stress erreicht werden.

Es ist wichtig, Verständnis für diese Krankheit zu schaffen und die Betroffenen zu unterstützen. 💙✨

Chronic Pain: What You Need to Know

Chronic pain is a type of persistent pain that lasts for an extended period, typically longer than three to six months, or beyond the normal healing time of an injury or illness. Unlike acute pain, which serves as a warning signal and typically resolves once the underlying cause heals, chronic pain persists and becomes a condition in itself.

Chronic pain can have various causes, including:

Injury or trauma: A previous injury or trauma that has not fully healed can lead to ongoing pain.

Medical conditions: Conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, neuropathy, migraines, and back pain can result in chronic pain.

Nerve damage: Injuries or diseases affecting the nervous system can lead to chronic pain.

Infections: Certain infections can cause persistent pain, such as post-herpetic neuralgia after shingles.

Autoimmune disorders: Conditions like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis can cause ongoing pain and inflammation.

Musculoskeletal issues: Chronic pain may result from conditions affecting the muscles, bones, and joints.

The quality of life and general well-being of a person can be greatly affected by chronic pain. It can affect physical function, mental health, sleep patterns, and overall daily activities. People with chronic pain may experience fatigue, depression, anxiety, and social isolation.

Remember that seeking support from an “Online counselor” can be a valuable step in managing chronic pain and its effects on your mental and emotional well-being.

 “Online counselling”  platforms like TalktoAngel offer convenience and accessibility, making it easier for you to connect with professional help from the comfort of your home. However, if you have severe pain or suspect a medical emergency, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional or your primary care doctor for a thorough evaluation and appropriate medical treatment.

My plastic surgeon scheduled a semi-urgent MRI for a potential bone infection. I get to the hospital for them to tell me: “you’re already scheduled as an outpatient” as well as THIS HOSPITALS MRI MACHINE IS ACTUALLY BROKEN. IVE BEEN SITTING HERE FOR ALMOST 13 HOURS. I had to take an ambulance as well, it’s now 1:00am. The hospital was nice enough to get me a ride home because I can’t actually afford to get home alone. (1,100$ CREDIT CARD ONLY) no friends no family to take me home. I shouldn’t have to wait over 13 hours to be basically told: McDonald’s ice cream machine broke.

Happy International Wheelchair Day 🥰♿️ Today is a great day to take a look at your feed and count how many disabled people do you follow? According to @scopecharity there are 14.6 million disabled people in the UK. I can’t begin to tell you how much I’ve learnt from following other disabled people. How much I’ve learnt about my own condition, pain, how to advocate for healthcare, accessibility, and about other conditions and disabilities too. I’ve learnt so much about how people with the same conditions can be so different, how we all have different needs and there’s always more to learn! Here I’m with my NHS transit chair, it’s different to my electric chair and I use it on days where my condition fluctuates and I’d be more comfortable in it. This is why you’ll see disabled people some days use walking sticks, and others use walkers or wheelchairs. Mobility aids allow us to use what we need on our bad and not so bad days!🙌 Tag your favourite disabled creators below! 🥰❤️ #fatdisabledworthy #internationalwheelchairday #mobilityaid #chronicfatigue #myalgicencephalomyelitis #chronicpainawareness #ambulatorywheelchairusersexist #disabilityawareness (at Napoleons Casino & Restaurant, Sheffield) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpPqHDOIgff/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

my mom and I always say that just because someone breaks both their arms doesn't mean you didn't break your arm🤍🤍

Other people going through “worse” doesn’t mean you can’t be sad. It doesn’t mean you aren’t suffering. It doesn’t mean your pain doesn’t matter. Your feelings and struggles are valid. And things are allowed to feel tough for you.
