First, do no harm: If a person with a fatiguing illness reports feeling worse after exertion, exercise is not the remedy. #mecfs #fibromyalgia #postexertionalmalaise www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...
Post-Exertional Malaise in Fatiguing Diseases: What to Know

It's Friday! 🎉
This cranky old lady (19y/o!) is keeping my legs warm.
She's also stopping me from getting another coffee. ☕

In hues of sorrow, a life unfolds, Dreams lie in shadow, pain quietly holds. Yet, amidst the swirl, a soft hope sings, A soul's tender strength in the blue that clings.

When somebody asks me how I'm doing, but I also don't want them to feel bad for me [picture of Tina from Bob's Burgers] I'll probably be sick for the rest of my life. But besides that, I'm good.

FUCKING. THIS.

People don't fake this shit. They accept these shitty diagnoses because nothing else fits. And they deal with it. And try to make the best of it.

Screenshot of a tumblr post by byjove. It reads: nobody is faking POTS, fibromyalgia or ME/CFS for attention because nobody gives a fuck if you have POTS, fibromyalgia or ME/CFS. these are three conditions people are always accused of faking online (largely because they’re common chronic illnesses and young women are disproportionately effected by them 😃) and it’s like…..look around bitch. when was the last time you saw a fund for a cure CFS walkathon? you ever see a Google banner for fibromyalgia? these are illnesses that suck to have and that you are often treated like absolute dogshit by the medical community and pop culture at large if you do have them. you don’t get positive attention, or any attention at all, if you’re at home laying down 85% of your life.

Contrary to popular belief, people with #chronicpain do not medicate to feel no pain. We medicate to get to a level of pain which we can tolerate.

Happy #Caturday! Unsurprisingly after Thursday's fire, my #Fibromyalgia has been flaring. Ella knows I'm not feeling well and has been providing lots of cuddles. She is an excellent emotional support cat! #Cats #CatSky #CatsOfBlueSky #ChronicIllness #Spoonie #Photography #EastCoastKin

Fatigue-season started today! At least I had to lay down somewhere pretty. The photos are taken upside-down, my phone saved them right-way-up 🙄 At least nobody saw me and tried to "help". People making a fuss really does not help at all!

The view from my spot on the sofa in the exile-house! I'm having a bad day, my head is mush and my body is meh, I did what I needed to do today, but nothing more. Even took a nap! Been ages since last time.
