I’ve been diagnosed with the ouchies, and there is no cure :(

The physical and mental burden of my chronic illnesses, manifested.

Hi, I'm Sunny ☀️

I have Lupus (SLE) and Fibromyalgia and they are both severely debilitating and are also both actively dictating my life choices.

I was diagnosed with fibro first and then later lupus. In between those times I saw about 4 different rheumatologists and quite a few different general physicians. I thankfully and fortunately now have a great team of doctors who are working towards my symptom management!

I am also a parent and struggle with so many things mentally and physically. My ask box is open if you have any questions regarding my health journey or what I currently do day to day for management. I feel like community is something we spoonies need more of so we all can feel validated and reassured that we arent alone nor crazy!

I believe in your pain and I believe in how strong you have been so far dealing with it. Crying? Strength. Having to cancel plans to rest? Strength. Missing work due to needing to rest? Strength. (Also f*ck your job, you come first).

We got this ☀️

Does anyone else find themselves categorising their pain by diagnosis? Like

“That’s fibro.”

“Endo.”

“Migraine.”

“Ooh, hyper mobility it’s been a while.”

Like a running background commentary on what’s currently making me miserable.

What is spoon theory?

One reason humans need to be more kind and patient with one another 💜
