EVERYTHING FUCKING HURTS

[highhellkisses]

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.

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=

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.

[cutsi3kitti3]

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.

Root Cause Analysis Techniques: Uncovering the True Issues

Root cause analysis (RCA) is a crucial process for identifying the underlying reasons for problems or failures in various industries. In the Indian context, where businesses strive for efficiency and effectiveness, understanding and applying root cause analysis techniques can lead to significant improvements in quality, productivity, and customer satisfaction. This article explores various root cause analysis techniques, their importance, and practical applications across different sectors.

What is Root Cause Analysis?

Root cause analysis is a systematic approach to identifying the fundamental causes of problems. Unlike superficial troubleshooting, which focuses on symptoms, RCA digs deeper to reveal the factors contributing to an issue. By understanding these root causes, organizations can implement effective solutions that prevent recurrence.

The importance of RCA in India cannot be overstated. With a rapidly growing economy, Indian businesses face numerous challenges ranging from supply chain disruptions to quality control issues. Employing effective root cause analysis techniques helps companies not only resolve current problems but also build a resilient framework to address future challenges.

Common Root Cause Analysis Techniques

1. 5 Whys Technique

The 5 Whys technique is a simple yet effective method for uncovering the root cause of a problem. It involves asking “Why?” five times in succession until the underlying issue is identified. This technique is particularly useful in manufacturing and service industries.

Example:

Problem: A machine has stopped working.

Why? (1) The fuse has blown.

Why? (2) The machine was overloaded.

Why? (3) The operator did not follow the load guidelines.

Why? (4) The operator was not trained properly.

Why? (5) The training program was not comprehensive.

This example illustrates how the 5 Whys technique reveals a lack of training as the root cause of the problem, leading to targeted solutions.

2. Fishbone Diagram (Ishikawa Diagram)

The Fishbone diagram is a visual tool that categorizes potential causes of a problem. It resembles a fish skeleton, with the problem at the head and various categories (e.g., people, processes, materials, equipment) as the bones. This technique is beneficial for team discussions and brainstorming sessions.

Application: In the Indian IT sector, a Fishbone diagram can help teams identify the causes of software bugs, categorizing them into people, process, technology, and environment.

3. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

Image-by-MrIncredible

FMEA is a proactive approach used to identify potential failure modes in a product or process. By evaluating the impact and likelihood of these failures, organizations can prioritize which issues to address first. This technique is prevalent in manufacturing and healthcare industries.

Example: A pharmaceutical company in India might use FMEA to assess risks in its drug manufacturing process, ensuring that critical failures are addressed before they occur.

4. Pareto Analysis

Pareto Analysis is based on the Pareto Principle, which states that 80% of problems often stem from 20% of causes. By identifying and focusing on these critical few causes, organizations can make significant improvements. This technique is particularly useful in quality management.

Application: In Indian manufacturing, companies can use Pareto Analysis to determine which defects occur most frequently, allowing them to allocate resources effectively to resolve the most significant issues.

5. Root Cause Tree Analysis

Root Cause Tree Analysis is a graphical method that helps teams visualize the relationship between various causes and their effects. It starts with a problem and branches out to show direct and indirect causes, helping teams see how multiple factors may contribute to an issue.

Application: In the Indian healthcare sector, a hospital might use Root Cause Tree Analysis to investigate patient readmission rates, identifying various factors like treatment quality, patient education, and follow-up care.

Importance of Root Cause Analysis Techniques in India

The application of root cause analysis techniques is essential for organizations in India for several reasons:

Enhanced Quality Control: By identifying the underlying causes of defects or failures, companies can implement corrective measures that lead to higher quality products and services.

Cost Reduction: Addressing root causes rather than symptoms helps organizations save money in the long run. For instance, manufacturers can reduce rework and warranty claims by resolving underlying issues.

Increased Efficiency: Effective RCA techniques streamline processes by eliminating repetitive problems. This efficiency is vital for Indian businesses competing in a global marketplace.

Improved Customer Satisfaction: Resolving the root causes of customer complaints leads to higher satisfaction and loyalty. Indian companies can benefit greatly from understanding and addressing these concerns.

Cultural Transformation: Encouraging a culture of continuous improvement and problem-solving through RCA techniques fosters an environment where employees are empowered to identify and address issues proactively.

Implementing Root Cause Analysis Techniques

To successfully implement root cause analysis techniques in an organization, consider the following steps:

Identify the Problem: Clearly define the issue you want to investigate, ensuring that all team members understand it.

Gather Data: Collect relevant data related to the problem. This may include process documentation, employee interviews, and historical performance data.

Choose the Right Technique: Select the most appropriate RCA technique based on the problem and available resources. Different situations may require different methods.

Analyze the Data: Work collaboratively with your team to analyze the data and identify potential root causes. Use visual tools like Fishbone diagrams to facilitate discussions.

Develop and Implement Solutions: Once root causes are identified, develop actionable solutions and implement them. Monitor the effectiveness of these solutions over time.

Review and Reflect: After implementation, review the results to ensure the problem is resolved. Reflect on the RCA process to identify lessons learned for future issues.

Conclusion

Root cause analysis is an indispensable tool for organizations looking to improve quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. By applying various root cause analysis techniques, Indian businesses can not only solve current problems but also build a robust framework for future success. As the Indian economy continues to evolve, investing in RCA will be a key differentiator for companies aiming for excellence in their operations.
