Living with Chronic Pain: My Reality

Oh I can relate too much right now unfortunately. My joints are driving me nuts, my spine is on fire, and my bladder is out too 🥴

I too feel a change in my symptoms In the Summer, (which use to be my favorite season) due to my illnesses & the heat I have severe fatigue In the Winter, I then feel all the extreme pain, due to arthritis throughout my entire body, flaring up becuz of the cold weather I just end up hibernating in my home with the a/c or heater blasting to stay cool in the Summer & warm enough in the Winter My advice, based on how I've done things in my life, I've just learned over time to live my life as I can based on how I'm feeling when I wake up in the afternoon (I'm definitely not a morning person) Hope u learn your symptoms, to not be hard on urself, & to find a positive benefit to the way u now have to live 💯🙏👍

💕 I completely understand. It's like ever fiber of my being hurts when this weather is here. I just figure that I'm going to hurt whether I slowly draw, or paint (badly) or I sit miserably in bed. So I choose to rescue kittens. And make myself do something through the pain. It's working for now. I still have those days of almost nothing getting done too. But even one day that I can push through enough to do even a little extra is a celebration. Love yourself. Even on those days you must take it easy! It's ok. We're all rooting for you. These days are not going to beat us! 🙌

I feel the weather changes too, its unbearable. I'm sorry you are going through so much..I wish I knew when it would end... if it ever does for me I will let ya know!
