In my feeling about my chronic illness today. Can anyone out there relate?

Hi there! If you would share and possibly donate via Venmo @Lauren-Halley-1 I’m trying to raise $200 for a medical marijuana card consult. I have Lupus and deal with daily chronic pain. Lupus is an incurable autoimmune disease that presents a lot like arthritis. My joints swell and I have muscle aches. It also brings chronic fatigue and can also cause organ damage. I have never been in remission since being diagnosed in 2009 and my doctor finds it unlikely that I will be in the near future. Despite the pain and anxiety and depression caused by my Lupus, I do not have access to any pain medication apart from ibuprofen. That’s like m&ms 😂 i treat with marijuana because it is much less addictive and dangerous than opioids and helps sooth my pain as well as help woth the other symptoms lupus carries. I can get weed wherever but I also need to hold down a job and don’t want to miss career opportunities because I can’t pass a drug test.

I attached some lupus info and I’ll answer any questions! If you could please take a look and consider helping me out I’d really appreciate it! Or consider donating to the lupus foundation as well!

So now I can add a chiropractor to the list of doctors I’m seeing. All because of my lupus. The back pain has been so bad that I have barely worked my horses in two weeks.

Dear shoulder,

Seriously? After everything I have done for you this week? You go and reward me with pain. All I wanted you to do is wheel one bag with an under 2 lbs computer, a few sheets of paper, and one light jacket.

Why am I in so much pain?

All I wanted from you was to walk 3 blocks to transit and occasionally go to a couple of conference rooms.

Dear Mouth

Long time no chat. In fact mouth you had become a beloved respite from the rest of my symptomatic body. I know you missed me but I have got a lot of shit going on and I would like to have make outs with my PartnerFace and some how thrush would not be ideal. 

So imagine this morning after I start my coffee and I feel this burning sensation. Is the coffee too hot? I don’t know because I cannot tell by my tongue. My hands are no help what with the raynauds acting up. Is it my dry mouth? I cannot tell because right now it’s floating in coffee. I bet you knew that. I bet this whole time you have been simmering with resentment and now you are lashing out at me. 

I am sorry. I know I give the  rest of me so much more attention but it isn’t because I don’t love you. We’ve had some very, very good times. But let me warn you. You are the most expendable part of my body. 

Get your stuff together, 

DSP

Brain fog Thursday

I made a single serve of coffee and forgot to put my mug in it.
