I swear one of the big reasons I have insomnia tonight is that my shoulder no longer agonizes me when I roll over. I'm luxuriating in the reduced pain levels. Too excited by it, I think. And I had a lot more energy one day after treatment than I've had in months. Pain is exhausting. #frozenShoulder #ChronicPain

@deidrajwolf #ChronicPain is a problem. I go through my #ValleyOfTheDolls routine every night. And I laugh at this every time I play it. https://youtu.be/u-TXJMKVa_g?feature=shared

Having the sort of flare week where everything is five times harder and finding the energy to push through is a struggle. #ChronicPain

#goodmorning i have a migraine #migraines #chronicpain #chronicillness #teddybear #plushies

I post about #chronicillness and #chronicpain every so often and I think perhaps the most frustrating people I encounter end up not being the folks who are currently able-bodied. Believe it or not it’s usually other people who have a physical #disability or are similarly #disabled.

The #ableism i get! I block and move on with my life and I hardly bat an eye. It absolutely floors me when I’ll post something that has some component of “Hey, gentle reminder that not everyone can do X, Y, and Z which is why A, B, and C are super important” and I’ll get folks who will reply with some flavor of “Well I’m disabled and I have no problem with this so therefore everyone can do this.”

Just…holy shit biscuits! You’d figure if anyone would get that everyone has different capabilities and different thresholds, it would be someone who is literally living that experience!

Whoa…I just realized that I’m literally doing the exact same thing, just from the other side. Thinking that because someone has shared an experience that they must process it a similar way. Damn…

I love that even though I’ll be 50 this year, I’m still open enough to new ideas to be comfortable with not being right all the time. I guess with what I wrote above, maybe it’s a lot like how some people that grew up being bullied say “never again” while others shrug and say “it’s not a big deal, I turned out okay.”

Well…damn! I guess instead of venting my frustrations, y’all got to hang out with me and my stream of consciousness while I worked through that little mental snarl. I guess we all just process things differently and some of us are just more compassionate than others and that’s all there is to it.

Good talk, I’m glad we had this chat.

This deems delusional.

Did I miss some groundbreaking discovery about low back pain that discovers that it comes from an infection in our spine?

Because it’s kind of terrifying if they think low back pain comes from an infection that could be cured with antibiotics, so they think everyone with low back pain is walking around with a festering bacterial infection?

This sounds delusional.

Returned from #PrimeRib dinner. Even had a #TiaMaria with my coffee. It's harder to find even at good restaurants. Now having a #Jameson with my #ChronicPain meds. I call this my #ValleyOfTheDolls Routine. I laugh every time I watch this. https://t.co/5oYeCrDLLf

It's been a week since I got my COVID booster in the same side as my frozen shoulder. The pain/inflammation in my shoulder is still much improved from before getting the shot. I'm grateful for this weird side effect. #FrozenShoulder #CovidBoosterSideEffect #CovidVaccineSideEffect #PfizerCovidVaccine #VaccineSideEffect #ChronicPain

This is really beautiful. It’s a photographic depiction of life with chronic illness.

Neck pain right side usually goes away on its own. However, if it doesn’t you should see a specialist because it may be signaling towards something serious.

Pain flares always leave me so wrung out. And more often than not, weepy and emotional.

Even when I have someone actively helping and taking care of me,it's so hard and isolating. And a bit scary if I'm being real.

Just feeling like one huge raw, exposed nerve right now.
