Grieving a Healthy Body with Chronic Pain

I just got my flu vaccine and I had a bad reaction to it. I was achy, shivering, and in pain. As I got over the side affects from the vaccine I realized the pain didn’t go away (due to having chronic pain) It’s hard to continually and repeatedly grieve having a healthy body and I thought some of you would be able to relate❤️

Yes unfortunately I can relate to that. There are days when I feel normal and optimistic about my future. After those days, when I have the next bad emotional or physical feeling comes along, I often have a break down and experience a lot of self-pity

Yes! It’s especially hard when I’m around people who are all healthy and can’t relate to my struggles. I feel selfish wishing I could make more plans with them but knowing I will only hurt more if I do. Knowing ones limits can be very lonely so it’s nice to know other people are grieving too ❤️
