Phantom Pains…

One of the most annoying things of chronic illness is pains that pop up out of nowhere and trying to explain them to your providers. This has been my plight for the past few days. I’m now having to take an entirely different road to find answers… I know I m not the only one who has ever experienced this type of pain, so why do they look at me like an alien. Their favorite solution is give you a shot of pain meds and send you on your way. This time that didn’t even make a difference. I started rationalizing how I can make it with just one leg, maybe not so much. Well in the meantime I have to keep my sense of humor in tact.

Rest Break..

For those of you who are new to chronic illness, it’s time to explain what our energy is like on a daily basis. Imagine doing a 3 hour personal training exercise everyday. That’s how we feel when we wake up. I don’t know about you but it takes me no less than 30 minutes just to get out of bed. I say all this to encourage you to let no one shame you for how you feel. This is your struggle and your super power, because it’s takes unusually strong individuals to be chronic warriors. Remind your doubters that!
