@my_chronic_diaries: This is what a flare looks like for me. My stomach is so inflamed it’s painful just to breathe. My bowel is flaring. The burning pain is back. My womb and ovaries feel like they’re on fire, wrapped in barbed wire, and trying to leave my body. My ribs feel like they’re in a vice. My legs burn so much they make each step unbearable A lot of the time it isn’t just one symptom… it’s everything flaring at once. These are the days people don’t always see behind the smile. If you live with chronic illness, I hope today is a gentler day for you 🤍 #ChronicIllness #endometriosis #chonicpainwarriors #flareday
