Nothing more punk than someone who is in pain all the fucking time and just continues to exist.

Edit: This is about physically disabled people/people who deal with chronic physical pain

Question for others with fibromyalgia

How bad does your brain fog get? Yesterday in a 1-2 hour discord call I apparently repeated the same thing four to five times without realizing it. I had no memory of saying it multiple times when my friends told me that was the fourth or fifth time I’d said it.

Basically, I don’t know if I should be concerned or if that’s normal brain fog type stuff (I also don’t know if I do this regularly or not). I would ask my doctor, but she doesn’t really know anything about fibro so I’m going to have to wait till my pain clinic appointment a month from now to talk to a doctor who has any experience with my condition.

I also find myself asking really dumb questions at work that I should be able to answer for myself, but have trouble working out. I work at a doggie daycare so it’s not exactly thought intensive, but it’s like my problem solving ability has been slowed way down. Idk, it’s freaking me out a bit but I don’t want to stress myself out about it if it’s nothing (especially since stress worsens my pain, lol).

having fibromyalgia is kind of awesome actually because there’s always a sore spot you can jab your fingers into really hard

Attention anyone who uses forearm crutches

Do you hate sticking to your crutches during summer? Do you dislike the hospital gray?

I've been trying for MONTHS to find a pattern or someone who sells crutch covers, but I never found anything for forearm crutches (probably because I'm in the US) so I’ve decided to make my own pattern! And anyone can use it!

I'm sorry if it doesn't make any sense, this is my first time creating a sewing design.

These are the prototype that I've made so far.

Please let me know if you use this (and send pictures!) and if there's anything you think will make the design better.

Next up I'm working on padded covers for the part for your hands!
