#fibro problems

[fibromyalgicaf]

I love how sleep advice is all like "make sure you only use your bed for sleep and sex" as if I've got anywhere else to fucking spend my day

[stars-and-branches]

Chronic pain pisses me off cause I'm not even incapacitated for like a cool or badass reason instead my body is throwing the world's biggest temper tantrum because it's raining outside

something that isn’t talked about enough with chronic illness is knowing that going to your appointments and doing your exercises and all that will help but being in too much pain or too fatigued to go, so your just stuck in this constant cycle of knowing what you need to do to get better but not being able to do it because your sick

[m0thmancore]

the thing that drives me crazy about fibromyalgia is trying to explain it to people. yes i am in pain all the time. no i didn't do anything to get hurt. no it will almost definitely never go away entirely. no i don't know what caused it.

"so you're just going to be on pills your whole life" if the pills keep working, yeah, probably! i don't like being in pain!

"being tired all the time is not an aesthetic"

me who's chronically ill and still tries to romanticize life:

my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

I hate the look on able-bodied people's faces when you can't do a thing that you could do the day before. The look of disappointment, confusion, the "Oh but you could do it before. Are you SURE you can't do it?" Like yes, Brenda, I'm sure that I am in too much pain to function/move from my bed right now so going for a walk when I could move 50 feet yesterday without my cane IS too much.

Greetings, I would like to wish chronic pain a very unhappy “fuck you.”

Maybe THIS dose of ibuprofen will be the one that fixes me

It's damaging to be constantly on the hook to explain why we aren't getting better right away. And it's demoralizing to be thought of as "not trying hard enough."

...no one has thought as much about how we can get relief as we have. No one is more attuned to what might make life less miserable. No one has been more possessed to find promising treatments than we are...

What we really want is to be listened to and, most of all, to be understood.

i remember being ten years old and wishing to die rather than experience the pain i was in yet still my parents and my doctors didn’t believe me. sometimes it just hits me. that wasn’t a normal experience for a ten year old, was it?

[tea-from-heaven]

Do you ever have the urge to like test your chronic illnesses? Like push it too far and you KNOW it's gonna bite you in the ass but like what if it doesn't??? What if you were just being really dramatic this whole time????

I feel like half my brain is a concerned adult and the other half is a belligerent child who just really wants to go for a run.
