The only way I'm currently surviving: my Axon Optics, ThermaCare, talking with pals, and remembering that in less than 200 hours I'll be in Mexico with my BFF Katy. Right now, I'm just living for Mexico. #chronicneckpain #axonoptics #thermacare #rheum #SJIA #systemicjuvenilearthritis #juvenilearthritis #juvenileidiopathicarthritis #jia #stillsdisease #fibro #spoonie #arthritis #arthritissucks #effarthritis #chroniclife #chronicpain #chronicillness #chronicsex #notstandingstillsdisease

Pals, why do bodies decide to make so many of our decisions for us? It's so rude! Wanted to hit up ACR early today and stay all day, but now I'm questioning if I'll really even go. My body is just SO exhausted after the last few days that IDEK. I've got that all over "you pushed yourself hard kid" ache. Maybe it's okay to not go today, to change my plans based on what my body is telling me. It's taken me 23 years and 358 days to grasp this concept of listening to my body instead of ignoring it, but at least I'm figuring it out! #selfcare #rheum #SJIA #systemicjuvenilearthritis #juvenilearthritis #juvenileidiopathicarthritis #jia #stillsdisease #fibro #arthritis #arthritissucks #effarthritis #chroniclife #chronicpain #chronicillness #chronicsex #notstandingstillsdisease (at San Diego, California)

As you as hands on as me? 😂 Took forever to get some of my medical records, including old X-rays. It's hard to think that my hands, the ones that so often hurt or refuse to cooperate, are still 'normal' enough. Our bodies are fascinating pieces of machinery. We just need to get the software right. #givememydata #patientrecords #patientlife #gottalaugh #xray #xrays #rheum #SJIA #systemicjuvenilearthritis #juvenilearthritis #juvenileidiopathicarthritis #jia #stillsdisease #fibro #arthritis #arthritissucks #effarthritis #chroniclife #chronicpain #chronicillness #notstandingstillsdisease

It's #worldarthritisday and my knees are hella swollen. I'm tired and sore. I'm scared of what effects this freaking executive order president douche bag is going to sign today will have on us all... Even though arthritis sucks (majorly), it's also brought me a lot of cool opportunities to meet amazing people - including some of my heroes - and call them friends. I'll get grumpy as the day goes on and my pain gets worse, but I can't ever forget the two-sided coin that living with health crap brings - especially the good. #rheum #SJIA #systemicjuvenilearthritis #juvenilearthritis #juvenileidiopathicarthritis #jia #stillsdisease #fibro #arthritis #arthritissucks #effarthritis #chroniclife #chronicpain #chronicillness #chronicsex #notstandingstillsdisease
