#fibro flare

Chronic pain pisses me off cause I'm not even incapacitated for like a cool or badass reason instead my body is throwing the world's biggest temper tantrum because it's raining outside

Disability is not a dirty word. Me calling myself disabled is not me insulting myself. I am using a word that describes the fact I am not able-bodied.

Pain might build character but I don't need any more characters.

It's wild to realise how much and how quickly I normalise new symptoms.

Just this morning I was debating with myself if my leg pain was actually worse than usual and if it warranted calling out of work or not.

And then it hit me.

Since when do I have leg pain? Since when do I consider leg pain so normal to my day that I have a baseline of leg pain? I never had leg pain when I first got diagnosed? Where did it come from?

My fibromyalgia hates me but at least I'm cute

If you're in a flare-up right now, please remember this doesn't mean you've failed; flares can happen for all sorts of reasons.

And it doesn't mean you are any less deserving of support and compassion. Ask for help and be gentle with yourself.

Being on an ssri, having multiple chronic illnesses, being fat and on my period during a heatwave is actually my favorite thing ever. Like, this is wonderful. I love this so much. Please don't shoot me out back behind the Dennys at 2am to end my suffering. No... please don't do that. Unless...?
