Well, at 6:30am I was at a 5 on the pain scale. Now that I’ve gone through a whole work day, a VERY BUSY work day with back to back calls & almost no time to break so I can lay down, I’m at a 15 on the pain scale. I’m crying. I’m going through almost any other scenario that I’d rather be in than this one, including death. Living in constant pain is hard. Throw all my other symptoms on top of it, & it makes life very hard to enjoy. If it weren’t for my kids, I wouldn’t be here. . . . #Chronicillness #pain #spoonie #spooniestuff #spoonielife #spooniecommunity #spooniesupport #chronicpainawareness #chronicpainwarrior #chronicillnesscommunity #spineproblems #spinalherniations #sijointproblems #ankylosingspondylitis #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillness #arthritiscommunity #migraineawareness #migrainessuck #chronicmigraines #wegenersgranulomatosis #maybepots #psoriaticarthritis #autoimmunedisease #chronicpain #chronicpaindepression #dynamicdisability #vasculitis #invisableillness #butyoudontlooksick

It has become somewhat of a mantra for me for the past few weeks as #symptoms such as pain, dizziness and weakness in the legs have worsened, and unfortunately, all around the time, I am due to go on a #cruise for the first time in six years. In all honesty, every day lately has become an enormous struggle, and there have been so many days where I feel ultimately defeated by a condition that has eclipsed my entire life and being. And the thought of going away, anywhere, but especially on a cruise, is completely overwhelming and scary. With the shakiness in my legs at an all-time high, who knows how my legs will feel on a ship constantly in motion as it rides the waves of the seas it’s travelling through? So, as well as all the physical symptoms are at their worst, so too are the effects it has on my mental health - I have experienced so many of the worst down days, feeling weak, defeated and depressed. And the anxiety - it has been my arch nemesis, knocking my confidence, telling me I can’t get through it all, and so on. All in all, I have experienced the hardest of struggles and days, so please send me your most positive thoughts, mantras and well wishes - and I hope beyond hope that I can get through tomorrow and safely on the ship that will be home for the following 18 nights. And if you’re reading this going through a personal crucible, I’m sending so much love and strength to you, and I hope you soon find peace and better days #spoonie #spoonielife #spooniecommunity #chronicillness #chronicillnesslife #chronicillnesscommunity #chroniclife #chronicpain #chronicallyill #chronicallysick #chronicallyillblogger #chronicillnessblogger #disability #disabilityblogger #disabled #disabledblogger #neurologicaldisorder #neurologicalcondition #fnd #functionalneurologicaldisorder #fndaware #voices4fnd #neisvoid

I had on my calendar that World Ankylosing Spondylitis Day was today, but it was actually two days ago 😭 but that’s okay, every day is a good day to raise AS awareness!! 🥲💙 Ankylosing Spondylitis can look like: ✨ back pain and stiffness, which worsens from inactivity or resting in one position for long periods (such as sleeping) ✨ hunched forward posture due to pain, inability to take a deep breath, chest tightness ✨ pain in hips, neck, abdomen, buttocks, jaw, ribcage, foot, or heel ✨ fatigue, joint pain/stiffness, mild fever, anemia ✨ eye inflammation & vision problems, organ damage (such as to the heart, eyes, or lungs) ✨ appetite loss, weight loss, bloating, diarrhea, gastrointestinal disorders ✨ skin rashes, psoriasis, mood changes ✨ loss of spinal flexibility, compression fractures …and SO much more! What other symptoms do you experience from Ankylosing Spondylitis? 💙

Well, I'm working on some ideas for tracking my pain levels during more strenuous activities and seeing if over time those activities will become easier to handle, even with my chronic conditions. I included space for the date, the type of activity, the duration of the activity, my pain level during activity, immediately following the activity, and within 24 to 48 hours after activity. On the backside of the insert I included a place to write down where the pain is located, what type of pain I'm having, and changes in pain over the week after the activity. I think this will help me a lot. It'll give me a better look at how my body reacts and what things I did to help myself recover and treat the pain. It's still in the early process I think I need to actually have to figure out exactly how much space I need for each piece of information and a place for notes afterwards. So I might just add a couple of fold-outs after it. #paintracker #chroniccondition #spoonieplanner #plannercommunity #godzilla #godzillaqueenofmonsters #godzillafan #healthtracker #healthjournal #keepmasksinhealthcare #chronicpain #wellnessnotes #wellnesstracker #selfcarematters #selfcare #selfcarenotes #plannerinserts #poppet #chronichealthcare #selfcarecalendar #activitytracker #exercise #keepingactive #disabilities #disabilitylife #invisibledisability #invisibleillness #spooniecommunity #takingcareofmyself #doingthebestican

Spoomento – Spoonie-Mentoring – A better life for spoonies – zurück ins Leben ! Das ist mir persönlich wichtig… 💙 „Wenn Deine Seele weint und Dein Mund schweigt, dann spricht bald Dein Körper mit Dir..." „If your soul cries and your mouth is silent than your body will soon speak to you...“ In dieser neuen Rubrik möchte ich Dir noch intensiver verdeutlichen, was mir persönlich wichtig ist und mir am Herzen liegt. Mit dieser Aussage ist im Grunde genommen alles zusammengefasst, was mir wichtig ist. Wenn wir entgegen aller Zeichen unseren Seelenplan verlassen oder grundsätzlich auf dem falschen Weg sind, zieht sich unsere Seele zurück und unsere innere Stimme wird immer leiser. Unsere Seele beginnt zu „weinen“, da sie uns glücklich und zufrieden auf dem richtigen Weg sehen möchte. Wenn wir uns weiterhin verschließen, unseren tiefsten Empfindungen Ausdruck zu verleihen und für uns und unserem höchsten Idealbild einzustehen, werden Stress und Unzufriedenheit immer weiter zunehmen. Letztlich ernten wir durch unsere kopfgesteuerte Ignoranz, dass unser Körper mit uns spricht. Wir werden krank und leiden, manchmal zum Nachdenken und Umdenken ruhig gestellt. Das sind meine Erfahrungen und daran glaube ich. Das Schöne dabei ist, dass sich durch Umdenken und entsprechende Neuausrichtung alles dramatisch verbessert. Was hat Dich Deine Erkrankung gelehrt ?... Schenk' mir dein blaues Herz ! 💙 Jörg Mach mich zu Deinem Botschafter „Spoomento-Supporter“ durch Folgen, Liken, und Comments mit💙 FOLGEN kann ja nicht schaden ;-) #spoomento – Spoonie-Mentoring @spoomento auf YouTube 💙 „Nerven-Nahrung“ – der Podcast für Spoonies Da, wo es Podcasts gibt. https://www.jwartmentor.com/cfs bald www.spoomento.com #bestimmung #lebenszweck #mecfs #cfs #fatigue #unsichtbarekrankheit #postvac #postcovid #erschöpfung #spoonies #spooniecommunity #gemeinsammehrerreichen #gefühlefühlen #herzensmensch #herzmensch #gefühle #gefühl #seelenverwandte #seelenpartner #abetterlifeforspoonies #zurückinsleben #spooniejörg #spoonie-mentoring #spoomento

Baseline vs flare up For those who are just starting on your chronic illness journey… have you been able to know what your baseline for pain and symptoms are vs what your are up pain and symptoms are? For me I live with constant pain but most days it’s manageable with medication and my items that make me feel comfortable. When I get into a flare up I am miserable, don’t want to socialize, usually hibernating somewhere that keeps me “feeling” comfortable, taking additional meds to help combat some of the pain. The things I do daily are: making sure I stay hydrated, trying to eat smaller meals to keep my sugars stable, stretching or taking a walk, and listening to my body when I need a rest! What are some things you do? #chronicillness #autoimmunedisease #uctd #pots #ehlersdanlosyndrome #ms #mecfs #pcos #endo #fibro #lupus #crohns #spoonie #chronicillnesscommunity #spooniecommunity #chronicmigraine #flareups #mcas #heatingpad #painmanagement

For those who don’t know, unfortunately my biologic (Taltz) I was taking for my rheumatologic disease has given me Crohn’s disease. It’s unfortunately a rare but known side effect of the medication. I have started a new biologic that should hopefully cover both of my autoimmune diseases but as many of you know, biologics take some time to work. I’ve had to completely change my diet & welcome any low FODMAP recommendations 💙✨ I continue to have the best support system imaginable & have no idea what I’d do without my husband and my friends 🫶🏻 #chronicillness #chronicillnesswarrior #spoonie #autoimmune #crohns #lowfodmap #spooniecommunity

I can do every single thing right and still end up in a flair-up. I used to blame myself and try to figure out “what I did wrong” but ultimately, my chronic illness is not my fault. And a lot of the time, my flair-ups are out of my control. I’m learning to practice self-compassion and give myself grace🦓❤️ #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillnesswarrior #chronicillnesslife #invisibleillness #invisibleillnessawareness #spoonie #spooniecommunity #spoonieproblems #chronicpainwarrior #chronicpain #ehlersdanlossyndrome #ehlersdanlos #fypge #foryourpage❤️

Every Sunday at 5pm UTC+1 (UK time), I lead a gentle relaxation meditation, using a visualisation. It's completely free, and it's on every week on Zoom. I'll link the sign up in my stories today. We usually start with a question so that we can share some of our coping strategies, self-care or pacing tips. Then we go into a lovely, relaxing meditation that is 20-25 minutes long. 👉 No pressure to have your camera on or to speak 👉 Stay in bed or lying down for it. Just be comfortable 👉 If it's too long for you, just quietly leave the call early Come along and give it a try! It's a lovely, gentle sense of community. The link is in my bio 💙 Sending love, light, and spoons 💙🌻🥄 Holly x (Post description in comments) 🥄🌻🥄🌻🥄🌻🥄🌻🥄🌻🥄 . . . . . #butyoudontlooksick #fibromyalgia #longcovid #cfs #cfsme #mecfs #spoonielife #spooniestrong #spoonie #spoonies #spoons #spooniecommunity #chronicallyill #chronicillness #chronicfatigue #chronicillnesswarrior #chronicallyfabulous #fatigue #chronicfatiguesyndrome #youareloved #youareenough #anxiety #recovery #invisibledisability #invisibleillness #covidisntover #fibro . .

*long post alert ‼️* So after the last few days of smashing it I have woken up this morning and can hardly move ! I’m exhausted have a headache and in tons of pain ! 😖💊 Love Care Bears and love this image from @endohumour 💖 today I am a ‘flare bear’ 🐻 My body is telling me to rest, sleep and recharge. But my brain is telling me to stop being dramatic and get on with it ! I have always struggled with an all or nothing mindset I think this is an ADHD thing and actually discussed this with the endocrinologist on Friday who said I need to find a balance between doing well and resting when needed ! I look at other people smashing their journeys and then beat myself up that I can’t do it everyday ! But I have to remember I have rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis. I so want to listen to what my body needs and to be kind to myself but I can’t shake the feeling that I am a failure 😞 Today feels hard 😢 and I’m out of spoons 🥄 #flareup #flareups #fibroflare #rheumatoidarthritis #fibromyalgia #fibro #fibrowarrior #fibrosucks #rheumatoidarthritiswarrior #autoimmunedisease #chronicillness #chronicpain #osteoarthritis #adhd #adhdawareness #adhdwomen #wls #wlscommunity #wlsjourney #bariatricsurgery #bariatricbabes #outofspoons #spoonie #spoonielife #spooniecommunity #allornothing #findingbalance #lifeisaboutbalance #pacing #feelingguilty

This was a Dysautonomia dare. I’ve been told it’s very likely that I have #dysautonomia , or as I am calling it, “Dysaut-oh, no, no, no!” Trying to explain it to people while in the diagnostic process is tricky, especially when I’m eating tons of salt—as-salting myself, if you will. I try to keep it simple because there are no definitive answers, but it backfired by freaking out someone I thought was royally cute. Seems to me that lots of salt for health reasons freaks some people out, lol. A good friend of mine gave me this dare after my confidence was shot to shit. She dared me to go back and make a new impression on this cute person by getting a “surprise drink.” In other words, letting the waitstaff pick a drink for me and let me guess. Obviously, this had to be within limits; no more ER visits and no mixing alcohol and meds. While the cute person wasn’t there that day, I still couldn’t resist asking for a surprise drink. Damn, when that dare came through in this beautiful form, it was delicious. I could suck this drink down all day and all night. @grancaffelaquila , your staff makes a badass mocktail! Who said you need booze for a drink that’ll rocket you to the moon? Surprise drinks on a date was so much fun too. Whether or not I have Dysaut-oh, no, no, no, I will be doing this again in the future. Gran Caffè L’Aquila has been a go-to of mine for years, but one small dare made it fresh and new. PS, if you haven’t been to Gran Caffè L’Aquila, get your ass down there now! #grancaffe #grancaffelaquila #philadelphia #philadelphiarestaurants #philadelphiarestaurant #phillyrestaurants #phillyrestaurant #restaurant #ristorante #mocktail #mocktails #mocktails🍹 #mocktailmonday #spoonie #spoonielife #spooniecommunity #spooniestrong #spooniehumor #spoonielove #bestfriends #goodfriends #spooniesillyness #drink #drinks

Attempt two at surgery today! 🥺 What a way to spend your bank holiday weekend! Unfortunately surgery couldn’t be completed yesterday, so we are heading back to Kings this morning for another long day ahead! This is the life of disability. The life of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I’m now on 48 hours of fasting and it feels horrible. But we have to do what we have to do to get to where we need to! Yesterday really demotivated me. I felt hopeless. I felt angry. I felt out of control. In truth I am out of control. But I am strong. I am resilient. And I know I can do this. I know I have to do this to get answers. A few days ago we went on a walk with the dogs and I looked back at them this morning. Feeling lost. Feeling tired. But seeing the beauty in our world. The beauty of creation. Which reminds me my faith will sustain me. That my footsteps are his footsteps, and he, God, will be right beside me, as he always is. #medicalsurgery #surgery #hospitals #hospitallife #ehlersdanlos #ehlerdanlossyndrome #ehlersdanlosawareness #ehlersdanlostype3 #ehlersdanlossociety #edsawareness #eds #zebra #zebrastrong #spoonielife #spooniewarrior #spooniecommunity #spoonieproblems #spooniefamily #treestreestrees #treesofinstagram #naturelovers #mindfulness #mindfulnessmeditation #spiritualitymatters #christianlife #christianmotivation #christianposts #christianthoughts

Cowi brand is not just a brand, it is a lifestyle, it is a mindset. At some point in our lives we will experience set backs. It is not the setback that defines us, but if & how we choose to overcome it. The Cowi brand vision, is to be that REMINDER & MOTIVATION that u can do absolutely amazing things when u put ur mind to it. Cowi is about stepping outside of ur comfort zone & changing ur life for the better. If ur allowed to wake up the next day then that’s another chance ur given that some don’t get. A chance to “COME ON W/ IT!” Due to my chronic health issues, many surgeries & some serious injuries, I have experienced A LOT of setbacks in my life, but I have refused to let those setbacks stop me. No matter what I will ALWAYS pick myself back up. I will ALWAYS keep fighting. I will never give up on my dreams. Life can keep throwing things my way but I will always say COME ON W/ IT & keep going no matter what it takes! & my fellow warrior right here @kelseywenburg also embodies that Cowi mentality. Chronic Lyme & chronic illnesses have tried to take her down but she has fought like hell to get where she is now. We have been able to push thru SO much & even tho it’s still a daily battle we r getting stronger & WE WILL DO AMAZING THINGS 💪🏻🙌🏻 Whenever I need a reminder of my strength, I just remind myself of the Cowi mentality! It’s an honor to represent Cowi brand. Thank u @cro_bird_ for the opportunity & the support! • @cowibrand discount code: Taylor10 • #cowi #comeonwithit #cowicrew #cowifam #cantstopwontstop #noquit #keepfighting #keepgoing #nevergiveup #thecomebackisstrongerthanthesetback #cannotbebroken #betterdaysarecoming #chronicallyillcowgirl #chronicillness #chronicpain #chronicillnesswarrior #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillnessadvocate #inspiration #motivation #spooniesupport #spooniecommunity #unitetofightlyme #lymediseaseawarenessmonth #lymewarrior #teamwarriors #turnpainintopurpose #globallymealliancementor

It’s a bittersweet moment when your baby starts growing up.

The burning pain of arthritis is so real 😩⁠ ⁠ ID: On a red background, to the left there are icons, and to the center the text reads "10-50 tiny fires inside of my joints that I can't extinguish."

5/5/2024, 4:00:35 PM

I think this fact makes me the saddest. I started having symptoms at a very young age. I will live my adult life with it. When I am 50 I will have had it for 25 years. That fact breaks my heart. I’m sorry to all the young individuals who also receive news of any chronic illness. . . . . . . . . . . #fibromyalgia #fibro #fibrowarrior #fibrofighter #fibromialgia #fibroflare #fibromiyalji #fibrosucks #fibrofog #fibrofog #fibromyalgie #fibrolife #fibrowarriors #fibromyalgiaawareness #chronicpain #chronicpainwarrior #chronicpainawareness #chronicpainsucks #chronicpainlife #chronicpainsurvivor #chronicpainsupport #spoonie #spoonielife #spooniesupport #spooniewarrior #spooniecommunity #spoonieproblems #spooniesisterhood #spooniesisters #spooniesunite #spooniefamily

Highly likely the Spoonie in me talking but pregnancy back supports are just BAD 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve tried two so far but they’re so flimsy they’re doing absolutely nothing to help with lower back pain. They just feel like giant elastic bands with some padding 😅 I’m well aware it could be because the kind of back supports & braces I’m used to wearing have steel bars inside so are wayyy more heavy duty, but either way there’s a lot of room for improvement there (especially for those with existing conditions, Disabilities & injuries) Good job I’m used to my spine feeling like a noodle 🫠🤣

You didn’t do anything to deserve your chronic illness or pain. There’s so much external messaging from doctors and society as a whole that blame patients for their conditions. Doctors will lecture you about “stress management” or “sleep hygiene” as ways to shift the blame to you when their proposed treatments don’t work. Society will make you feel like you’re lazy or worth less than others because you’re chronically ill and can’t hold down a job or need disability benefits. It’s so easy to internalize these messages, but none of it is true. You didn’t do anything to deserve being chronically ill or in pain. Maybe you don’t spend as many hours a day doing PT as would be ideal for all of your issues or sometimes you eat things you know will make you sick, but no one’s perfect. Expecting chronically ill patients to constantly be managing their symptoms leaves no time to actually live your life. As important is it is to manage my health, it’s also important for my mental health not to feel like a patient 24/7. And to give my mind and body some breaks so I can experience joy amidst all the pain. Sure it would probably be better for my body if I was constantly at home, especially now that it’s getting warm out which is a trigger for me. But I’d much rather be having a hard Monday after spending a wonderful weekend in LA with my family than if I had skipped the baby shower because it could flare my symptoms up. No matter what decisions you make in order to add as much happiness and joy to your chronically ill life are perfectly ok, and they don’t mean you deserve to be sick. You’re doing the best you can and that’s all you can ask for. Does anyone else struggle with feeling like their illness is their fault? Especially if you aren’t doing everything “perfectly” to manage your health?

I'm going to start sharing my experiences of being chronically ill. Obviously it won't be all sunshine and lollipops and it'll be quite depressing, but it's something that I'll find helpful to share & I hope it'll help others to feel less alone and understood. For transparency, just making this post has taken me about 4 hours 😵‍💫 I have ME/CFS which is Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) and it is a long-term (chronic), fluctuating, neurological disease that causes symptoms affecting many body systems, more commonly the nervous and immune systems. M.E. affects an estimated 250,000 people in the UK, and around 17 million people worldwide. People with M.E. experience debilitating pain, fatigue and a range of other symptoms associated with post-exertional malaise, the body and brain’s inability to recover after expending even small amounts of energy.

I know what a Doctor means when they say "It's nothing sinister" however, being diagnosed with a life-long, life-altering debilitating chronic illness is arguably pretty sinister. Should we change the meaning of 'sinister' in a medical setting? 🤔 #MECFS #MyalgicEncephelomyelitis #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #InvisibleDisability #pwME #MillionsMissing #InvisibleIllness #ChronicIllness #Spoonie #SpoonieLife #SpoonieCommunity #ChronicallySick #MigraineLife #ChronicPain #ChronicPainAwareness #InvisibleIlInessAwareness #DisabilityAwareness #LongCovid #AutoimmuneDisease #EDS #Dysautonomia #Fibromyalgia #Mitochondria #Fatigue #LymeDisease #ChronicMigraine #PotsSyndrome #LymeDisease
