New to the Community: Living with Chronic Pain

I'm new! I have fibromyalgia, arthritis, and suffer from hypercalcemia; all painful and exhausting conditions! I'm currently working as a substitute teacher, since I'm too sore and tired to work full time. I just want to connect with fellow sufferers so we can exchange ideas and tips. Here's one I learned experience: weight loss and exercise really help! I've lost 90 pounds and counting. I take frequent walks and do a gentle weight routine. It works!

✋👍❤️Hi welcome to the neighborhood ☺️. Hang in there, pain is a hard thing to deal with and still live our lives. I get it, with getting arthritis and fibro,back in my 30's. Over the years dealt with other stuff oww indeed. Raised kids and grandkids with special needs. Reaching out is one of the best things you can do!! I send hugs for being brave enough to do it! Sometimes I don't, when it's keeping me down. Hope to be part of your journey! Be well 🙂
