Super exciting news!!! I got my first cane!!!

As things have deteriorated recently, I’ve had to come to terms with the fact that I am going to need mobility aids for the foreseeable future - possibly the rest of my life. It’s been hard but I’ve been working through it.

I just got the cane today and so far I am noticing it is pretty hard on my wrist. I plan on getting crutches, I just need to wait until I can afford it. Besides the wrist pain, it’s not bothering me at all which is great and after a few hours of grocery shopping, my leg pain did not increase significantly (as it usually would)

The cane I picked is one I’ve tested before and liked. It was a pretty boring silver and black so of courseee I tricked it out with some stickers :D It unfortunately doesn’t come with a strap (the ones that did were NOT my style), so I am going to figure out how to finagle one.

Overall, I think I may need to consider wrist braces - something that was suggested to me - to combat my pain and add some support. I’ll see how I do over a few weeks and see where I land. If anyone has some suggestions for how they combat wrist and hand pain from using a cane, I would love to hear it!

And of course, cane reveal!

I have a question for my other fibromyalgia sufferers out there:

Over the last week or so I’ve noticed that my left pinky is in a constant state of numbness/pins and needles. I was thinking maybe I pinched a nerve somehow, but then thought I’d see if it was something seen with fibro (which I feel is the answer to most of my questions).

It doesn’t really hurt so much as it’s unbelievably irritating, but I was curious if anyone else has experience with this and has tips to help with it. So far it’s limited to my left pinky and I’m hoping it doesn’t get worse than that, but I might bring it up with my doctor soon either way.

I hope everyone is doing as well as they can!

As a third year in university, I genuinely have peers who cannot write a summary of a reading of any length without consulting AI to help them.

It's a genuine epidemic and people are telling us we just have to roll with it. Not only is it destroying the environment with the sheer amount of water it requires, it's destroying any sense of free thought and literacy.

It isn't making things "more accessible," it's making people easier to control and manipulate.

Seriously, wake up people.

This is sorta unrelated to my account, but I’ve got an art account on instagram and it would be totally awesome if people checked it out :D

To make it account related; art has been the one thing I’ve been able to hold onto since I became sick. It’s incredibly hard to lose the ability to do the things you’re passionate about, but art has stuck with me through it all.

Art is not only a creative outlet for me, but also a connection to my family. My Oma was the one who taught me how to paint with water colours and sign my name, my mum bought me my art supplies, and my uncle has my drawings tattooed on him.

I draw for myself and for everyone who I can put a smile on their faces with it.

That all being said, if you’d like to check it out, I’m on insta @/soupyyart

and here’s a little peek at what I do hehe

Too much movement makes your joints hurt and too little movement also makes your joints hurt. This would imply that there's an optimal amount of movement that allows your joints to not hurt. This is a lie.
