I feel this, even just a cold (not even the flu!) can have us in bed for days lol

Having comorbid dx with fibromyalgia can absolutely make docs take us less seriously when it should be the opposite. Fibro pt’s have pain and fatigue 5x the intensity of non pt’s. A “mild” issue then for a patient can be disabling. Docs should know this shit.

My body: Uugh this is unbearable!!!!

Me: should I take pain meds? Idk if it's bad enough

My body: 🚨🚨🚨 Unbearable! 🚨🚨🚨 Unbearable! 🚨🚨🚨 Unbearable! 🚨🚨🚨

Me: FINE I'll take them

My body 5 seconds after taking meds: oh nevermind ☺️ false alarm we're ok actually ☺️

Me: I'm gonna be more counterdependent independent and push my body past its physical limits lol it can't be that bad

Me several hours later: oh this was a bad idea

Love that excessive night sweating is a symptom, but so is being fucking cold all the time, and not washing regularly isn't a symptom perse but it's a ThingTM and IS a symptom of other stuff (Executive dysfunction! Depression! Fun!)

Anyway my landlord messaged my parents saying my room stunk of sweat like..............idk how to respond to that

#that's weird right?

Chronic pain culture in your late teens and twenties is wondering how you can possibly do your dream job when your constant pain inhibits you from doing so much

#sigh #kinda maybe hope ill be able to go into health psych #considering one of the first things we learn about is chronic pain and CortisolTM

So does taking a dump ever just send u into a big flare up

#fibromyalgia #chronic illness #chronic pain #i tend to put it off which just makes it worse tbh #but my adhd brain is like surely constipation pain and going into a bigger flare LATER is better than #than going and having pain NOW

i wish i could experience my first semester at uni again tbh. i had 2 good friends and the rest were :/ and the people i love most now hadnt even come to uni yet but i had like a 3 month period where i was free from my parents and experiencing independence for the first time and could just openly be myself and hadnt yet started experiencing chronic pain (though i do believe i have had certain symptoms of fibro my whole life and in those 3 months i did start having more of those, it just wasnt painful). i could go outside for hours, i could do a full shopping trip and carry everything back, i could walk the rocky-ass unpaved path behind accommodation in one go, i could dance, work out, have sex etc.

it was 3 months of freedom and i miss it, i want that back
