Anyone else make this face when they have to go to yet another new doctor? Even my hair is anxious?!?! 😂 I get terrible anxiety about being poked and prodded (a feather light touch on my back can drop me to my knees), and have to tell my loooong complicated story all over again. But... this could be the doc that helps. Every time I go I have to think that and go in positive. Without too much hope that can be crushed too. A delicate balance... #ivegotthis #youvegotthis #jennsheelen #jennsheelenpodcast #chronicpain #invisibleillness #spoonie #fchronicpain #chronicpainwarrior #spoonielife #spooniestrong #spoonies #spooniesunite #invisibleillnessawareness (at Town of Hingham, MA)

I’ve been getting more “public” about my battle with chronic pain. I usually hide and I want to show that you don’t have to. People can see you without the mask! So many of you responded to my pain pic that I want to share more. Show you’re not alone and ... you CAN power through. You’ve got this! I’ve got this. I’m on week three of a flare that has set off sciatica going into my foot. I cannot put any pressure on the foot at all and I’m favoring my other leg and foot too much ... so they’re unhappy and I’m reduced to crawling a lot to spare it. This ... is just me trying to get from the kitchen to den after making a cup of tea on my knees. Look... I DID IT!!! So simple but so huge. #poweringthrough #ivegotthis #youvegotthis #fchronicpain #chronicpain #chronicpainwarrior #chronicpainsucks #spoonie #spooniecommunity #spoonielife #spoonies #dayinthelifeofchronicpain #invisibleillness #invisibleillnessawareness #chronicpainawareness #jennsheelen #jennsheelenpodcast (at Town of Hingham, MA)
