I honestly ask myself that all the time, whatever painkillers I'm given at the time before they stop working and then I get new ones 
This thread is also a great reminder that I need more meds, mmmm

oh wow ???
my autoimmune disease is characterized by flare ups and I was hospitalized a while ago with the purpose of determining what’s up, but I didn’t have a flare up during that time so all my tests came back fine 😭 that, however, helped them determine that it’s recurring flare ups and not something like rheumatoid arthritis that is always present and that deteriorates your body over time. but I was so so scared they’d send me home without a diagnosis because on paper everything seemed fine yet I was in pain all the time. 

I hope you’re not in too much pain and that they manage to figure out what’s up ): in the meantime you can try and figure out what causes your flare ups/sickness and do your best to avoid high stress situations, though that’s hard in this present day

ouchie that does sound very tough ): am sending hugs your way!

I’m not the best coper either which is why I made this post in the first place 😭 so many people live with these issues and go about their lives like normal and that fascinates me

if i had chronic pain id be in such a bad mood everyday
the instances in my life where i had constant pain i was just really annoyed at life constantly 


so its really admirable to me when ppl with chronic pain dont let it affect their mood too much id be such a bitch

it’s genuinely so hard 🥲🥲 I wake up in pain every day and have to lie in bed for 30 mins to an hour until I feel capable of getting up,, so if I have to wake up early, I need to wake up Even Earlier before I can be a functioning human being 

it’s tough as balls but what can you do other than live on yk !!

Naur… I always say I’m lucky I’m very physically healthy but I’m starting to think it might be a bit of denial lmao… My mama is being tested for rheumatoid arthritis rn, n we apparently have it in the family so I’m paranoid my muscle and joint aches is smth other than vitamin deficiencies 💀but ig I’l brin it up n find out in June or whenever I manage to get a doctors apt about my fainting spells, but I’m prolly destined for developing rheumatoid arthritis or other rheumatoid issues rventually ripperoni 

I hope you can find some good way to cope…. Mymoms Doin a bit better finally bc she started taking her prescribed anti inflammatory meds finally but ik that’s not always a good solution for autoimmune stuff

oh man that sounds so tough, im glad you got an answer, but id imagine its a very heavy answer to get. i wish i had anything useful to say, other than that i hope you find ways to manage it as best you can. and its ok to not be ok, sometimes life really just sucks 

whether its autoimmune (celiac) or not honestly doesnt make a big difference to me, it would have been good to know, but it doesnt change how i have to go about it, im very much gluten intolerant either way. it has complicated my life in ways i wouldnt have foreseen, but i feel truly fortunate that its something that can be kept in check as long as i dont trigger it.
i get microdosed all the time tho, because our kitchen is a contaminated hellscape, and every surface area is covered with flour at all times. but i can handle it, its not too much. and i remember how bad it can get, i genuinely thought i was a dead (wo)man, so the fraction of it that im dealing with now doesnt feel as severe 

at least i hope that the microdosing is whats causing my current issues lol, it would be so uncool if its something else, and im just ignoring it because i thnk i have it all figured out and the doctor told me to have some fish oil and get a job

wishing you and your mom lots of luck, RA sucks so bad ):

I am taking anti inflammatory meds as well and I haven’t had any bad flare ups since I started taking them, but the morning stiffness and joint pain hasn’t gone away sadly 😭 and stress always makes it worse, I really need to learn how to deal with stress better 

oddly enough, gym is helping me a lot both mentally and physically ?? my pt keeps making me push past my limits and it’s good to know that I can actually do more than I think I can
