The Spoon Theory was created many years ago by a woman explaining her chronic issues limiting her abilities using spoons. Sadly that's a difficult thing to short hand for folks not familiar with the original story, so I have converted it into 5e spell slots, which has worked well for me explaining to friends. #SpoonieStrong #spoonies #chronicillness #chronicpain #chronicfatigue #5ememes

#Repost Credit belongs to: @.yuand.001 with @get_repost If you like it...please Follow me to see more Thank you to those who reached out to check up on me. Yes I’m in day 5 of a fibromyalgia flare and while I say that I’m better I’m not. I may look fine on the outside but I’m in excruciating pain. Constant pain that never goes away. It’s more than just pain. It’s sensitivity to the slightest tough, light or sound. It’s migraine headaches. It’s poor sleep habits and being completely exhausted. It’s zero energy. Phantom itching is horrible. Once I start, i can’t stop. I’ll scratch until I bleed. My body is covered in unexplained bruises. It’s hives, welps, rashes. My body is fighting from the inside out. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH ME. I SIMPLY CANT HANDLE IT. #fibromyalgia #fibromyalgiaawareness #fibromyalgiawarrior #fibromyalgiaisreal #fibroflare #invisibleillness #chronicpain #purposeinthepain AZlover229

Swipe to see! On Monday we went to the fair and I was in so much pain that as soon as we got home I had to take an epsom salt and baking soda bath just to relax my legs and foot. I haven’t really been submerging my foot up until this point, but I did this time, and the remaining two steri strips came off. … and then I saw the stitch the medical assistant had left in there. They didn’t believe me when I called so I had to send picture proof, and I went down today to have it removed. The foot is a bit more swollen and discolored today and I’m going to hope this is just from overuse and not anything brewing. I’m supposed to ONLY be heel weight bearing, but how else am I supposed to get myself to appointment after appointment (with my two year old) if I can’t drive or walk without assistance? . . . #MomLife #Sahm #MomOf5 #ChronicIllnessMama #ChronicPain #Migraine #ChronicMigraine #PostConcussionSyndrome #ChronicIllness #ChronicIllnessWarrior #EhlersDanlos #hEds #Hypermobility #Pots #Potsie #Zebra #MastCellActivationSyndrome #Mcas #Fibromyalgia #Fibro #InvisibleIllness #DisabilityAdvocate #Anemic #SpoonieSquad #DynamicDisability #ButYouDontLookDisabled

My teeth hurt again... if i am being honest they have been hurting for a while, but i have accrued so much debt just trying to get by that i have been too scared to make an appointment and confirm that i will probably have to get another tooth pulled and get another horribly painful deep cleaning and who knows what else... i am so tired... it's always like one of those cartoons where they plug one leak and another one pops up just out of reach over and over and over again... i actually had an okay day even though i only got about a much work done all day with as much energy as i could muster as i used to be able to get done in a morning... getting out of bed at 9 was a victory for me... anyway i am very grateful for the support that i do have and i know we are all in over our heads, so i don't really know what else to say... i hope y'all are doing okay... i know you are doing the best you can...i know i am anyway . . .

What does your medication regimen look like? Sigh…I’m on 9 prescriptions (3 not shown) to treat hypothyroidism, POTS, neuropathy, hemiplegic migraines, Sjorgens, rhinitis, and asthma. The rest are vitamins/minerals recommended by my doctors because my body doesn’t absorb the nutrients in my healthy diet. If my health stabilizes more, I hope to reduce rxs and leverage alternative medicine. #chronicillness #chronicpain #chronicfatigue #pots #sjorgenssyndrome

Welcome grief. Welcome rage. Welcome sadness. I haven’t always been comfortable with these emotions. Most of us haven’t been socialized to welcome any of them. But I have come to realize that this is all part of the richness of life. I am grieving a lot right now. I wish I wasn’t. I wish I didn’t have to go through any of this. But as they say, the only way out is through. So I am doing my best to sit with my grief like a dear friend, with an open heart and kind eyes. #chronicillness #chronicpain #diagnosis #grief #poetry #poetsofinstagram

If you've had a colonoscopy, you know what this dreaded jug is.... Tomorrow I'm having a colonoscopy and endoscopy(stupid gastroparesis and ulcer). Now, I'm partially excited because I get a beautiful nap out of the deal but let me tell you, me and this prep have fought each other. I thought it'd be a great idea to work 9 hours today without eating solid food AND go to my botox appointment today(because botox foxes everything!!). And while I didn't have to start drinking the prep until 6pm, I still shouldn't have worked today because man oh man was I hungry and cranky!!! But I survived! So, here are my tips for navigating colonoscopy prep: 1. Slurpees!! These saved my life today. They are a clear liquid when melted so they are approved. And drinking them made me feel full and kept me from crashing. 2. Bouillon cubes and water. This also helped kill hunger throughput the day. 3. Mix your prep with sugar free sparkling lemonade. The bubbles from the lemonade made it go down easier and I didn't get nauseous. 4. Chill the prep overnight! 5. Have a dedicated sippy cup for your prep. This made it easier for me to chug it down and not think about it. 6. Take breaks while drinking. If they say start at 6pm, start at 4pm so you can spread out your intake and not have to drink so quickly. This also reduces nausea. 7. Stay hydrated! I can't stress this enough. I've been sipping Propel water and that has kept me afloat this whole time. 8. Rest!! Your body is undergoing an ordeal. If you can take a nap or two. These are just my tips that have helped me survive this process. Feel free to drop your prep tips in the comments!!! #awareness #chronicallyillandstrong #autoimmunelife #lupie #gastroparesis #chronicpain #tummytroubles #patientpatient #gastrointestinalproblems #gastrointestinalhealth #colonoscopyprep #colonoscopy #endoscopy #ulcers

Waiting for the clearance this appointment would bring. Today's appointment was my 6 week post-op appointment for the left shoulder surgery in July when my rotator cuff was repaired and an open bicep tendonesis was completed. Everything appears to be healing well, and the range of motion is where it should be for this stage of recovery. We will be keeping a close eye on the incision site of the bicep tendonesis as it heals since sutures were used that I have had difficulty healing in the past. I was cleared to remove the sling and discontinue its use! Not sad about that. Very glad today was the last long, sweaty walk in the sling. Not happy to learn that I am NOT cleared to run yet and won't be for at least another 6 weeks. So much for the long list of runs/races I was anticipating signing up for this fall. I am cleared for fast walks, walking on the treadmill holding on with my right hand, and using the stationary bike. No weight bearing on my arm (so much of my yoga practice is out) and no HIIT workouts. I am thankful to be able to keep moving through my recovery even if it is not what I am used to. I will also be continuing physical therapy until the end of the year. I am disappointed about the sutures and not being cleared to run, but I am so happy to be making progress in all other areas. This has been such a long process (started last Feb with the right shoulder), but I know each day brings me closer to a stronger, healthier me. 💪 ❤️ (Post-Op Day 45) #gettingstronger #shouldersurgeryrecovery #biceptear #rotatorcufftear #biceptendonesis #recovery #healing #chronicpain #strongereveryday #running #fitover40 #myjourney #betterversionofme #keepgoing #thejourney #healthyhabits #mindsetmatters #movementismedicine #allergicreaction

HOCATT SAUNA GIRL 🧖🏼‍♀️ ..one of my fave healing modalities that I was introduced to last summer @ the amazing @theresetlounge & have been utilizing ever since. If you know me, you know I LOVE to stack 👏🏼 my 👏🏼 treatments 👏🏼 & The HOCATT basically does just that, but all in one magical machine @hocattofficial — game changer!!!! It combines… ✨ infrared (IFR) ✨ steam ✨ carbonic acid (CA) ✨ transdermal ozone ✨ targeted micro-current therapy …which altogether boost the immune system; increases oxygen @ a cellular level; inactivate viruses, bacteria, yeast, fungi, & *parasites*; remove toxins & free radicals from the body; reduces inflammation; cleans arteries & veins; relieves pain; annnd improves circulation & brain function. I always take 2 binders before treatment & don’t shower till the next day to let all the yummy ozone soak into my skin. After just one treatment my brain fog & joint pain was almost immediately gone & I had energy!! It also really helps with my skin rashes/MCAS etc. I did get a little excited after my first time & did another a few days later annnd ended up having some herx reactions to be totally honest, but that’s just a gentle reminder to me & anyone healing from Lyme/mold/multiple chronic conditions & symptoms etc. low & slow 🐌 FTW! Your body is a sweet delicate onion 🧅 with lots layers of piled up traumas (physical & emotional) & in order to deeply heal, each layer needs to be peeled back slooowly, one by one. Your body loves you, be gentle with it. With love, always ♥️ Xx Kitty PS. my dream is to have a healing center one day & have alllll of these incredible healing modalities (esp. the HOCATT) under one roof for everyone to come use & heal & share to help others heal too. #healingjourney #holistichealing #lyme #lymewarrior #chronicillness #chronicpain #hocattsauna #infrared #ozone #microcurrent #wellness #withlove #wellwithkitty

As September is CMT Awareness Month, I wanted to introduce this series. I started it in 2021 as a way for those in the CMT community to share their experiences with this neuromuscular disease. Since the start, each writer's story has impacted my life because of their openness about the pain and having a physical disability. They don't just see their CMT as a negative. Through these next few weeks, I will be introducing the guest writers. I hope their stories will encourage you not to let struggles keep you from moving forward. #cmtawareness #cmtstrong #chronicpain #charcotmarietoothdisease #writing

Cannabinoids have been used to treat pain as far back as 2900BC . The human body uses a specific system called the endocannabinoid system 🧬 This is involved in controlling various systems as sleep, pain, weight, blood pressure, immune response, brain function 🩺 The body produces its own endocannbinoids , neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors in the obrain Using cbd can help cannabinoid receptor activity, reducing inflammation, relieving pain, controlling anxiety and more 🖤 .

I had my first online meeting as a member of @hearusyarr today .. and it was a breath of fresh air ! Being virtually surrounded by a groups of individuals in a similar life situation, who want to make a change for rare disease patients everywhere . Honestly felt .. REVIVING ! Especially when today I spent I’ve spent hours on the phone fighting with a specialty pharmacy because they refused to bill my insurance , and tomorrow I’ll be making more insurance related phone-calls Because in general .. when it comes to treatments . What a doctor says .. doesnt mean much .. But what your insurance says ( aka a group taught to view your life, health , and body as a financial commodity ) In the eyes of the “ medical world “ Means EVERYTHING. No other words or ideas top what your insurance says . Their word , is law .. even if the person who trained half their life to heal / treat your body disagrees . I’m currently having to ration medication , Fight with multiple corporations, baby sit paperwork , and well .. Try not to cry . All because the “buisnesses “ side of healthcare . Doesn’t view patients as humans. I’m so grateful to get the chance learn and be a part of some truly amazing organizations like YARR that are striving to make a difference ! I hope I can use my story to add to the “good fight “ Because when you are fighting for your life , insurance coverage should be your LAST worry! ❤️ #smileon🐷 #spoonie #chronicpain #raredisease #yarr #youngadultillness #youngadultraredisease #cvid #autoimmunedisease #mcas #uctd

Hey! I start grad school this month at @uofwa ! 🐾💜💛 Something important to know about me as you all follow me on my journey to become a Master of Social Work is that I am chronically ill and disabled! I live (and thrive with) a chronic serious psychiatric disability in addition to living with chronic pain. I've encountered quite a few systemic issues and oppressions as a result of these issues. My experiences with oppression as a disabled person is part of why I want to be a social worker--I want to help people navigate these systems so they can lead self-determined lives and I want to advocate to change systems to better care for disabled people. Living with chronic pain and mental health challenges can make work and school challenging. I utilize a combination of natural supports like friends and family, professional supports like a psychiatrist, therapist, and physical therapist, medication & spirituality to manage and live well with my challenges. I also advocate for myself to access accommodations when needed! I'm so excited to set out on this journey to becoming a social worker and so excited to bring my lived experience as a disabled person to the School of Social Work! #disabled #disabledlife #disability #socialwork #socialworker #college #collegelife #grad #gradschool #gradstudent #writer #writing #blog #bipolar #depressionhelp #anxiety #chronicillness #chronicpain

Does anyone else feel like September is the new year? The beginning. After the summer. Like a school year, my year runs September to September. For me, autumn starts properly in October, so September is this in between month. At the moment, weather wise, the UK is confused and having a heatwave, which is messing with my after summer, pausing before autumn vibe. But I’m looking back over the year, and mulling over new sculpture ideas and what’s next projects. While I do that, I thought I should post this piece again, ‘Do you understand yet?’. Because no, I don’t. Will I ever? This piece is a fancy dress Little Red Riding Hood, repeatedly stitched with the phrase, Do you understand yet? It’s so many things. So many opposite things, it might seem. Protection. Beacon. Alarm. Innocence. Maturing. Is the story about growing up, and the monsters we meet along the way? The more I think about it, the more fascinated I am with the fairytale. I might have to rewrite the story, with the stitched hood as a protective cape!
