Everything we are made of has evolved over millions of years to perfectly adapt to the context of present. Evolution might not always feel good, but who’s to say those sensations aren’t guiding us appropriately and beyond what our senses can make sense of? Over and over again lately I have been reminded to trust the body. It’s become a mantra, for myself and for my work with clients. The symptom is sometimes the body working on the cure. That wisdom doesn’t always work on our human perception of timelines and agendas, but the wisdom of the body is the master adaptor. Injury and illness teach us endlessly about adaptation, even if in hindsight. They also teach us, when we’re willing to see it this way, about how adept our body’s are at figuring shit out. Our role, as experiencer’s of the human condition and as those in support of other humans on that journey, is often to figure out how to clear the way for that process to unfold and support biology where possible. Perhaps that’s the bridge between allopathic and alternative / allied therapeutics. Where one can treat acute and measure into biological processes with testing/imaging and support, the other can bolster and clear and help us regain the relationship to ourselves within the experience of adaptation. As long as humans have been alive we’ve been utilizing healing modalities like touch, movement, rhythm, breath and medicines from nature. It’s fascinating to see how that remains a staple into healing today, alongside the evolution of medicine and allopathic care. Even more fascinating to see how they can come together more and more moving forwards. 📸 @bennettmurphymills.photo #athletictherapy #energywork #breathwork #embodiment #herbalism #integratedcare #resilience #chronicillness #traumarecovery #somatics

Y’all knew I’d be back. You believe in me when I fail to believe in myself, so thank you for that. 🫶🏻 I was inspired by this writing I saw on Facebook, and I realized that the little things really do matter. It’s hard to see them all when things are messy, scary, stressful and uncertain. I decided to move forward with that energy in my day. First day back at the gym! I had an appointment with my trainer (we were previously training for endurance to hike…) She did research and got me set up with a new plan for my new limitations. Far cry from where I was, but…quitting won’t get me anywhere. I packed up and headed off to run errands alone. I needed to know that I could, even if it’s hard and scary. I went to Walmart, some other stores to grab some things for my trip. I bought myself flowers and treated myself to a protein shake from Classic Rock Coffee. I came home and invested some time to make myself a beautiful meal. I decorated my bathroom a tiny bit after 2 years of living in it. I hung out with my parents and we all took an evening walk with my pooch in her stroller. I tried to stay positive and look on the bright side. No second trips for the groceries! Thank goodness I worked hard at the gym so I can lift this 20 lb Rollator into my car! (It IS challenging, but one I’m willing to take on for a bit of Independance.) Someone on TikTok was curious about how easy it was to fold up, so I wanted to show it off! I’m in a freshly made bed, in cozy pajamas with my puppy, watching Speechless, one of my favorite shows. I’ve heard from all my favorite people today, and I’ll see them all in just one week. I’ve ordered wheelchair assistance through the airports to help me get there! So many little wins today. I encourage you all to count yours tomorrow. 💕 Thank you so much for always supporting me, good and bad. It means the world. 🫶🏻 #littlewins #littlethings #getoutside #multiplesclerosis #multiplesclerosisawareness #mswarrior #mssucks #bariatricsurgery #bariatricbabes #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #motivation #fitnessjourney #wellnessjourney #chronicillness #onedayatatime #wontgiveup #cantstopwontstop #trymybest #keepyourheadup

Running was always my outlet. I'd run miles upon miles at night just to clear my head. When I got sick in 2017, I stopped running. I was in pain, had face rashes that burned with sweat, and severe exhaustion. Since then, I've run here and there, but my night runs have not stuck. The miles to clear my head before bed have been something I miss. Thankfully my step daughter has wanted to run with me and our days are so packed, we have started doing night runs. It isn't the miles upon miles, but it's a run with sunset views to start and end under the stars. Sometimes I miss the quiet runs, but I'm glad to have this time with her and tonight we even did math facts on our cool down. Hopefully this is me getting back to my head clearing night runs. #airforceveteran #disabledveteran #autoimmunewarrior #dermatomyositis #raynaudsdisease #scleroderma #asthma #fibromyalgia #sjogrenssyndrome #esophagealdysphagia #cervicaldiscarthroplasty #chronicillness #spoonie #spooniewarrior #raredisease #myositis #mynewnormal #immunocompromised #invisiblediseases #mentalhealth #majordepressivedisorder #ptsd #mstsurvivor #generalizedanxietydisorder #itsoktonotbeok #c25k #everymomentcounts #run #running #couchto5k

This morning we spoke with John at @senalexpadilla office to discuss the crucial need to pass Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) Reform and passing the FAA Reauthorization. Have you ever heard of PBM's? They're sneaky. PBMs control what medications insurers cover, patients out of pocket costs, if you need to try Step Therapy before you can have access to the med your doctor ordered, etc. PBMs are unregulated and stand directly in the way of patients getting access to care/meds. They are often motivated by what's best for the BPM's and not what's best for patients. The FAA Reauthorization needs to be passed by September 30th. We are asking that as new airplanes are built they will be built with ADA Accessibility. (EVERY OTHER MODE OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS ADA COMPLIANT) We are also asking for improving the DOT complaint process if your assistive device is broken/damaged during your flight. We appreciate Senator Padilla's support on these two critical issues for people living with MS and other chronic illnesses. @mssociety #ThisIsMS #MSActivist #MSMomma #ChronicIllness

Beautiful day spent with my daughter and my nieces! Literally every place I go to in public, every single day, people look 👀 at me. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I mean, everywhere!! I get it, I really do. I’m riding around on a scooter and look perfectly healthy (not bad looking either or at least that’s the story I go with 😉 ) so people are curious as to what my story is. I’d say about 99% of time it doesn’t bother me but I definitely do get self-conscious at times when attempting to awkwardly get on or off of it to transfer to a chair and people are staring at me trying to figure out what’s going on with me. When this happens and I feel negative feelings stir because I’m being watched I realize that what is actually happening is that it is my own insecurity of the situation that I’m projecting onto what others are doing. As soon as I realize that it’s actually my own thinking that’s causing the feelings, it passes. And once it passes, it simply doesn’t exist anymore. I’m out of my thoughts and back in the present moment living my life and enjoying whatever life experience I’m up to, eyes 👀 on me, or not. Next time you feel self-conscious about anything, or anything negative, I invite you to take a pause outside of the emotion stirring. Slow down your mind and observe what you’re actually thinking. As soon as you begin observing your own thoughts you have already raised your consciousness to a higher level. Remember, you aren’t necessarily reacting to life and people around you as much as you are reacting to your own thoughts/perception/projection of the moment and the effects of that on your emotions. Our thoughts = our emotions. Show up unapologetic as yourself. There is no one to impress or be intimidated by; no reason to feel insecure; only your own thinking creates that. The more you love and accept yourself and the present moment exactly as it is, the more you shine like a star! Actually, maybe that’s why everyone is looking my way!! 😉⭐️ #girlpower #family #grateful #itsthelittlethings #simplepleasures #lifecoach #insecurities #emotions #consciousness #projection #awareness #invisibleillness #invisibledisease #disability #multiplesclerosis #thisisms

#day254of368challenge #season6 Happy Thursday Fam! How is your week been? Being in the water some how makes things feel less painful & even tho the water is cold its going before the evening wind & sun hit a cirtain point lol once you go past 3:30pm its kinda a um i dont think so! Yesterday I went to my dr to pick up vitimins & a medicine & my dr asked me if I had been given orders for a mri, I said no I have to come in here to get the process started, but thats the easy part lol for all of us the easy part the harder part is where to go for neurology? Portland or here? That is something that was a huge reason why I have been delaying or denial about the whole thing! Who likes the unknown like starting in unknown & ending in unknown is really something I dont think anyone does unknown well! So when I dont know what to do I sit at my nail table & think! & create! That is like my fave place to think! May your Thursday be filled with lots of warm days & enjoying all the sunshine & beautiful blue skies! 🧡🌺🙏🏼🦋🧡Have an AWESOME DAY! Go be AMAZING Fam!!

Don't forget to bathe in expensive oils and stand in a bucket of calves liver in a full moon. Not being sarcastic but people who assume you haven't tried everything sound like that to us, as if it's our fault. Stop. Sometimes pain and illness is chronic and we have to be warriors every day. Not victims. Just people struggling to live the life God gave us with the cards we were dealt. To those who get us, thank you. For those who don't, rest assured we have tried everything and our care team is on top of it and so are we. #chronicillness

She put an email out tonight saying there’s a digital download now too! (Guess who already bought it?) this is my second- I got one off Etsy last year when she advertised on a tubie group, and I’m in love with it. Filling out completely over the next two weeks so that anyone who needs it can have the same info I’ve accessed over the past few years while I’m at a caregiver retreat with @apricityhopeproject the real magic is that it includes spots for making sure the caregiver is getting basic needs met too.

Meine HFV ist seit kurzem wieder konstant über 50 🤗 Mein Ruhepuls ist schon seit über einem Monat konstant um 65 rum normal niedrig. Warum weiß ich nicht genau, vielleicht liegt es an der Stammzellentherapie. Allgemein geht es mir wieder mal ein ganzes Stück besser. Ich kann wieder mehr und kann vor allem besser mit Stress und Problemen wie Schlafmangel oder schlechten Nachrichten umgehen. Ich bin belastungsfähiger. Ich bin inzwischen viel mehr unterwegs, versuche mehr aus dem Haus zu kommen und treffe mich häufiger mit Menschen. Außerdem lerne ich mehr. Jetzt wo alles mehr wird, spüre ich aber auch meine Grenzen wieder deutlicher. Manchmal ist es eben doch zu anstrengend und zwischendurch bin ich überfordert. Ich kann das aber besser kompensieren. Ich muss echt noch Vieles für mich herausfinden und anpassen und das ist gar nicht so leicht und manchmal frustrierend. Ich habe öfter Angst, dass ich es nicht schaffen werde. Ich merke aber auch, dass ich die Krankheit dafür nicht mehr brauche. Ich bin einfach so, wie ich bin. Wenn ich eine Pause brauche oder etwas nicht kann, ist das nicht, weil ich krank bin - sondern weil ich das brauche. Ich sehe mich auch meistens gar nicht mehr als krank an sondern nur als ein Mensch von vielen, mit individuellen Bedürfnissen. Ich bin endlich dabei, die Krankheit loszulassen! 🤗💙🍀 #mecfs #mecfswarrior #chronischkrank #chronischeserschöpfungssyndrom #chronischesmüdigkeitssyndrom #chronicillness #fibromyalgie #fms #fibromyalgia #endometriose #cfsme #unsichtbarebehinderung #unsichtbarekrankheit #mcas #mastzellaktivierungssyndrom #mastcellactivationsyndrome #pots #posturalestachykardiesyndrom #orthostaticintolerance #stammzellen #stammzellentherapie #adhs #autismus #ichwerdegesund

No equipment, don’t worry. The wall is a perfect solution for hypermobility exercises. This new class released for September is proving very popular on the app. @jeannie_di takes us through a lovely wall footwork series, which is also great for tight low backs. Gradually the class makes its way up to standing. The wall offers closed chain exercises which means greater proprioceptive feedback and joint compression which we need in Hypermobile joints. Let us know what you think 🦓💪 . . . . #hypermobility #hypermobile #ehlersdanlossyndrome #ehlersdanlos #exercise #pilates #yoga #health #physio #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #chronicillness #zebrastrong

Hi everyone 👋🏻 long time no post! Olive and I have been so busy as of late. Hope you’re all keeping cool in this hot weather ☀️ Here is a fun activity Olive and our pet dog Aria did a few weeks ago. These are their ‘lick paintings’!! 🎨 We put some non toxic paint on a canvas, inside a thick plastic plastic bag and taped it down on cardboard. We then spread some peanut butter on top for them to lick and ‘paint’ with. They were supervised the whole time to ensure the plastic didn’t break. Olive loved it (she loves anything that involves food 😂) and proceeded to parade around the garden with the cardboard before I rescued it from her 😂 I’m so excited to hang them up in my house and treasure them forever 🥰 Have you tried any craft activities with your dogs? 💜🎨 #medicaldetectiondogs #mdd #medicalalertdog #alertdog #assistancedogsuk #aduk #assistancedog #medicaldog #servicedog #dogswithjobs #dog #labrador #labradorxgoldenretriever #labcross #labxgr #ilovemydog #mydoghelpsme #chronicillness #olive #owingit2olive #dogsofinstagram #bestfriend #lifesaver #iloveyou #herodog #painting #crafts #dogcrafts #lickpainting #dogactivity
