@hairbynikimarie: What it looks like after trying to have just one normal day like everyone else. This is the part people don’t see. I live in pain 24/7. There is no break. No day off. No moment where my body doesn’t hurt. A heating pad is sometimes the only thing that can take the edge off enough for me to breathe. I still work. I still show up. I still take care of everyone. I still laugh, smile, go places and try to live a normal life. But there is always a price to pay afterward. And the hardest part to admit is that my biggest fear isn’t how bad the pain can get. It’s wondering if someday I won’t be strong enough to keep fighting it. CRPS is a silent disease. You can look completely fine while your body feels like it’s screaming. And when you live with that kind of pain every single day, it doesn’t just wear down your body. It slowly wears down your mind, too. So if you see me smiling, working, running around or having a “normal” day, please don’t mistake that for being pain-free. It just means I’m fighting like hell to live my life anyway🧡 #crps #crpsawareness #hairbynikimarie
