#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.

[th3wizardoz]

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

my lower back is killin' me

or whatever Britney Spears said

I think given that it’s disability pride month I’m gonna try to be more open about the shit my body is going through atm.

Like even if y’all think it’s just me complaining, Idc because this is what it’s legitimately like for me 24/7.

Take today for instance - Im working because I have to pay rent, but while I’m working the only thought in my head is “don’t throw up, don’t pass out”. I’ve maxed out on pain meds, and my HR hasn’t dropped below 100 since I started.

But I just gotta go with it because otherwise imma be homeless and living out of my car and that’s going to make my pain worse.

[chronicallyuniconic]

Did a thing yesterday, today I'm suffering.

Noone wants this. Absolutely nobody.

I feel alone in my body, only other chronic pain people know what it's like (ime)

Nobody can do anything to help it. I just have to sit with it, somehow.

These pains are eating me away. Joint pain, muscle pain, skin pain, just existing pain.

I can't speak today, only lay down & breathe slowly. I don't have the energy to push the words out, they come out in whispers.

The fatigue just takes me, I'm falling asleep allover the place. I cannot control it.

Nobody fucking wants this.

Why does this always happen when I'm just trying to live my life?????

Will I ever be unchained from my bed?

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

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
