I was gonna take a pic for monochrome Monday, but I ran out of spoons.
So maybe just imagine I posted something cute, ok?

Side note to this:
There are so many unseen costs due to disability, and most Disabled/Chronically Ill folk just can’t spend the money on things that would make life more bearable. We go without so many things, most consequentially- going without income. #nzpol #SpoonieProblems

1/ I need a good big set of drawers, as so many of my clothes are thick polar fleece (certain clothes hurt me to wear except PF), so drawers are never deep enough. So annoying. There are many unseen costs to disabilities.

I chose the shower so that's that.

I just wish it wasn’t such a struggle to afford life and I hate hate hate relying on the help of others. Sigh. #spoonieproblems if I don’t earn some money soon I will never be able to dig ourselves out of this hole. 😭🫠

To be fair, even if I'm not #paingry or struggling with the annoyance of it all, I still hide more than I express, so I'm inwardly crying out in pain most of the day. Especially the afternoons for some reason.

Hey folks,
While I'm glad I had a rest day yesterday, I just wished it left me feeling rested. But it never does. That's not to say I _shouldn't_ take them, because not resting can make my pain worse. But resting doesn't make my "base" pain level better.

Heya all. Well my #Fibromyalgia pain is still horrendous. My brain fog was also horrible. So I did some wood-cutting prep on the outside of my office ahead of insulating a wall.
You'd think fresh air would help. But no, pain and fog still as bad.

Hi folks, it looks like I'll have to get to a doctor ASAP. Developed some weird rash on my hands with some blisters. Ex-Nurse FIL says he's not sure but it's not normal so to go see a doctor.
I didn't sign up for this on top of pain, depression etc
