@chronically.lola: Pain makes you cancel plans. Withdraw socially. Lose patience faster. Need more rest. Protect your energy differently. And instead of asking what you’re carrying…people often judge who you’ve become while carrying it. Chronic pain forces your nervous system into survival mode for so long that eventually it changes how you move through the world. You become more cautious. More guarded. More exhausted. Not because you’re weak. Because the body and mind were never designed to suffer endlessly without consequences. #chronicpain #invisibleillness #chronicillness #flareup #chronicpainawareness
I miss the old me. I isolate myself because nobody understands. There is one person out there that gets it. I wish you would contact me. I sure could use his encouragement.

I struggle with chronic muscle pains and chronic fatigue. Today I went out with my rollator. I felt embarrassed but it’s one of the few times I’ve allowed myself to use it when I know I’d need it. I’m proud of myself

I’m in a really good and low pain place over the last few weeks and I can tell you all that it comes back when the pain isn’t there! You are your old self again. Also you’re not lazy and you’re not imagining any of that pain and exhaustion. I really need to come back and read this when I flare again for months at a time.

I'm still grieving my old self, I was strong, confident and fun...now I dread going anywhere, I have to weigh my options and see if I'll even leave my house.

It’s exhausting. I’m over smiling through it and pretending I’m ok. I’m so lucky I have a wonderful husband and children who are incredibly supportive. I couldn’t do this without them. My doctor is super supportive too thankfully.

I've stopped mourning who I used to be because that version of me is dead & gone. This chronic pain, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, & fibromyalgia has changed who I once was because NONE of my health care providers care at all. So, I just take each day as it comes. The pain I suffer with on the daily has just become my friend

Yes. And they don’t understand the pain level we are actually in.

I pray that you all find a way to heal, I know most of us even myself were told it’s not curable but I hope you all have good days ahead of you from here on out 🙏

Much less social. I’d rather be at home in severe pain where I’m comfortable than outside my home in severe pain.
