Honestly I don’t have the energy or the eyesight to write a long caption, but I’ll try. I’m in pain I can barely hold my eyes open because it hurts to do so and my vision is blurry My mouth is dry and my throat feels like I’m swallowing razor blades My stomach hurts with cramps and and aches I’m sweating and I’m freezing I’m exhausted and I keep forgetting what i’m trying to say My face feels tense and my head is pounding My legs won’t stop twitching, they feel heavy and sore All I did was wash the pots and change my bedding, but for me when I’m having a bad day with my symptoms doing anything can trigger a flare up. So when people see me outside and I look ‘normal’ they can’t imagine this. Invisible illnesses need more awareness, I use a walking stick and so far most people I’ve met who don’t know me have assumed I have a bad leg. So even with a stick, my illness is still invisible. This is what fibro/cfs looks like. This is a bad day, this is me struggling. I don’t want sympathy, I don’t want pity, I want people to see this illness and respect people who live with it! I will keep fighting, I will keep doing things I love. People with chronic illness don’t have good days, we have manageable days, so please if you see us on a manageable day don’t just assume we are okay and we’re like that all the time. Be kind, have compassion and if you don’t understand someone’s illness, just be respectful, it’s not hard! 🌻🌼 #chronicallyill #fibrobabe #disabilibabe #disbabeled #fibromyalgia #cfs #chronicpain #chronicillness #chronicfatigue #chronicexhaustion #chronicnausea #fibroflare #invisibleillnessawareness
