#pain flare

[fidoughfaunus]

Feeling a little emotional during a bad pain flare day but just wanted to stop in and say a special I love you to my disabled Jewish fam. I know I personally struggle with guilt when I can’t do things like keep kosher or fasting or even just making it to services, and it sounds like that isn’t a super uncommon feeling among my disabled shalomies.

You’re Jewish enough. You’re Jewish and beautiful and I love you and this is your sign that it’s all gonna be okay and you are loved and valid as hell.

after a pain flare up is over: expectations vs reality

expectations: yay, the pain is gone! I can go back to having a normal day and become a functioning member of society! :D

reality: oh well thank fu- *passes out on the fucking floor for 10 hours and is bed bound recovering from the impact for the next 3 days*

Just a gentle reminder that it is okay to feel jealous of your able bodied friends sometimes. It does not make you a bad person, you wouldn’t wish anyone to live with your pain, but sometimes you just wish that you got a break.

I’ve realized that people think I’m being hyperbolic when I talk about my pain because I am still functional despite it.

It’s not that I’m exaggerating or have a high pain tolerance, I’ve just never had the option not to function. Like ever.

FINALLY MY FLAREUP HAS CALMED ITS IMAGINARY TITS AND I CAN WALK W/O MY HIP STABBING ITSELF

I want to be normal whatever that means.

Broke: “this activity causes a flare up”

Woke: “this behavior angers the beast”

Can’t believe Flintheart Glomgold is the cure to depression, fatigue and flares.

pain flares (and chronic pain in general) suck because you can writhe and squirm or lay entirely still as much as you want, but the pain will never fully go away

When I meet God he will have to beg my forgiveness for putting me through this (my back hurts)

So it turns out actually resting and not pushing yourself when a flare-up happens actually helps minimise it or potentially stop it from pushing over the edge
