@bloombeyonddiagnosis: The goal is not to win the pain Olympics. It is to stop pretending all pain works the same. A sore back after moving furniture is real. A migraine is real. A broken bone is real. But chronic illness pain is different because it does not always have an off switch. It can be there when you wake up. It can be there after you’ve rested. It can be there even when you’ve done everything “right.” That difference deserves to be understood, not minimized.
I’ve never heard someone else say about skin hurting I thought I was the only one and nobody understands that my skin hurts when it’s touched

I was born with clubfeet, yes, I did have correction surgery when I was a baby so I don’t have to walk with support, but my muscles are so tight in my legs. If I don’t stretch every day, almost all the time, they are in constant pain, some days I have to crawl up the stairs just to make it to bed.

Being 60 years old and aging is not the same as being 20 years old, having your body radiate in pain daily. Losing 40 years of your life and miserable. They are lucky they don’t deal with that.

FOMO is a thing even in pain. They can't fathom something not happening to them.

My mother is 75 and is just starting to have issues that Ive had since 27. I just stay quiet because I know how it feels for people to look at me sideways. Showers hurt, breathing hurts.

Everyone thought I was dramatic my entire life. I just got diagnosed with hEDS, post MCAS and gastroparesis. That’s on top of the scoliosis, stenosis and hypermobility arthalgia

Me with my idiopathic hypersomnia. They say “I wish I could sleep all day” yeah and you still don’t feel rested, you still feel sleepy/heavy, and sometimes you’re so sleepy you hold in your pee an extra four hours to sleep more because you just cannot get up 😑

not quite the same but very similar, it pisses me off so bad when I bring up my chronic fatigue and someone responds with "well everyone's tired" I DONT REMEMBER WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO FEEL RESTED

Literally and it’s honestly heartbreaking because even touch from my husband is starting to physically hurt me. Hugs, cuddles, massages etc. he knows I’m in pain and tries to help but that also ends up hurting. It’s a never ending cycle

Let’s not forget the dismissive oh you look just fine sweetheart. Or you’re too young to be hurting so bad. Maybe you should try this or that. Grr 🙄

When old people say, “You’ll know real pain when you’re older.” It makes me want to absolutely rage. Like do you know how badly I wish I could’ve waited until I was old?!?! I was 16 when I started dealing with chronic pain

randomeladyyy0232001 :
I don’t have chronic pain, but whenever I’m sick or even on my period, I’m like “this must be what chronically ill people feel ALL THE TIME” makes me appreciate when I’m back to normal that much more.

It’s worse having chronic pain as a 23 year old or even when i was younger trying to describe my pain and without fail there will always be someone older telling me my pain isn’t real and im lazy bc im too young to be in pain all the time. Its genuinely so isolating

Also our pain is so severe it causes other symptoms like nausea and vomiting and headaches and migraines and that causes eye pain. It’s all connected. Every inch of our bodies

as someone who has been extremely healthy the majority of my life.. they have no idea how pain works. knee bump=arthritis pain to them.
I have chronic shoulder issues because of my job and before that pain was just pain it goes away.... now it doesn't go away and I understand pain levels much better.
