#fibro day

[peanutbutterpickletime]

Hey my fellow chronic pain peoples and those who are just stressed!

Remember to:

- Take a deep breath

-relax your shoulders

-stretch your back and body like you just woke up (don’t forget your wrists and ankles)

-unclench your jaw

-take a sip of water

-audibly sigh sometimes. Ahhhhh☝️ Do one to release tension ✌️ and do a second with a smile. Even if it’s fake. It will help reset your brain.

-have a snack

-do something small to make you happy- just cuz

-if you can’t stop clenching your jaw, try a piece of gum. (I say as my teeth wrench apart again *gotta stop doing that*)

-you are worthy, of love and respect

-you deserve to be happy, healthy, and safe.

Love you guys ❤️

So...feeling all your joints creak constantly isn’t a normal thing? 😅

Ya’ll just go about everything not constantly feeling your bones rub against each other, or hearing your vertebrae protest when you turn your head or hands groan?

I thought everyone felt at least a little like a rusty robot. 😂

Oh fun.

Guess I’ll just smoke some more weed to forget about this 😂😂

Fuuuuuuuuck 😫😫😖😖

Wind is my fucking enemy, Fibro day is so bad. Gusts at over 130kmph (~80mph) and been going for the past 12hrs. My whole damn body feels like it’s being ripped apart. 😞 so swollen

I hope your Monday is going better than mine. Good luck today guys.

I don’t know how active I’ll be today. Without meds, this is going to be a rough one.

Truly hoping this new medication will start working soon. Yesterday I spent the whole day in bed only getting up to get my son food and put him down for a nap. I feel terrible, both physically and as a mother. I sure hope he can forgive his mum for just doing nothing yesterday. On top of general pregnancy exhaustion and sickness, it was horribly windy. Which mean my fibro just wasn’t having it. I couldn’t think, I couldn’t “wake up”, I couldn’t eat. Just a big pile of miserable mush in bed. Today is windy too but I was able to pry myself from my pillow long enough to choke down a bagel and some tea. And I’m at least sitting upright.

We’re almost 10w now, and the sickness typically gets better for most in a couple weeks. With the placenta starting to finally sustain itself and my body no longer having to run the hormones for both of us, my hormones will go all nuts trying to readjust again. Baby’s little flutters are felt when I’m laying down. Nothing strong enough for anyone else to feel, but I know you’re there little one. Nothing makes my heart thrill with joy greater than hearing their big brother say “Mommy I love your little baby in there! *points to my belly*”

Im excited for the future, and admittedly sick of the present, but we gotta keep moving forward.

First fibro flare up since conception. Whole body is swollen, even my sinuses are clogged. Back is spasming horribly and the extra baby weight is adding more strain to those muscles, everything hurts. Headache and foggy minded. Pressure sensitive so bad, the blankets are crushing me. Physically need help getting up to go pee. Can’t stand up straight. All of my typical pain mitigations are unavailable due to baby (no flower, no anti inflammatories, no belly laying for stretches, extra baby weight makes stairs unsafe so the bath tub is out). The heat pad helps some but it’s missing the water float factor the bath provides.

Please send funnies and happy stims, I’m stuck in bed and just want to cry.

If the wind would kindly... FUCK OFF! That’d be great.
