This world can be so brutal sometimes my heart and prayers goes out to anyone struggling, anyone hurting, anyone who needs to know just how amazing you are. #StayStrong Know that #YouAreNotAlone that #YouMatter #Chronicpain #MyCaringFriends #Chronicillness #Kindness #MentalHealth

Yesterday was absolutely awful. I lied on my living room floor curled up in tears for what seemed like forever. My poor kids have to witness this, way too much. #ChronicPain #Chronicfatigue #Chronicillness #Fibromyalgia #Migraine

Drs have for 30 years told me, lose weight & the pain will go away. After losing 87 lbs this year #ChronicPain & #Chronicfatigue still haunt me 24/7 Thankfull for less pain. #NeverGivingUp #Fibromyalgia #Migraine #EDS #Arthritis #ChronicIllness #Backpain #Trigeminalneuralgia

“But when #trauma stops us #feeling, when our #emotions are ‘dissociated’, it doesn’t mean that they don’t exist. They just seep out in other ways..sometimes we do feel them – big, crashing waves of them & they become #overwhelming.”: https://t.co/7sOslWZb9a by @CarolynSpring

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨WARNING🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 The paper "Ten myths of back pain in older adults that can lead to ineffective and harmful care" that has gone "viral" has A LOT of problems with it! Most references (35/56) have problems or DO NOT EXIST! See docs 👇👇 https://t.co/f1HdLQF3s7

Every day in 2022 those of us living in chronic pain, are in pain when we wake up and when we go to bed. Every second of every minute of every hour we are in pain. #ChronicPain has no pause button. We are always in pain. Thanks for caring and understanding.

What a journey from 10 yrs to now. 257 to 152, 87 of those pounds lost in the last 8 months of this year. Pushing to workout and diet amidst #Chronicpain has been extremely difficult but worth it! #Chronicillness #Fibro #Migraines #EDS #Arthritis #NeverGiveUp #Motivation #NoGLP1

Hello Dear Warriors! Which of our warriors have a birthday or anniversary this month. If you do not celebrate birthdays you can count anniversary. I have a cousin who doesn't celebrate birthdays so I just tell him, "Happy anniversary on the day you were born." We want to show

I greatly appreciate all the thoughts, prayers and love. Day 2 postop . Two chest tubes out today. Two more tomorrow. I hope; am being the model patient just as I would expect of my patients.

"Yes, after over fifteen years of living with #fibromyalgia and no matter how many times a “bad” #flare up happens to me, I get jarringly worried at first…upset and unnerved as seriously scary symptoms set in." #WhatIKnowIsReal

⚠️The hill I’ll die on. This interview w ⁦@drbeen_medical⁩ was from 2021. Are we better off now! Not IMO. Why? BC standard of care is still bad! Under-treated chronic infections often turn into chronic illness. Chronic illness is a cash cow! Never forget that. 💰

I got an insurance letter that they’re denying the only FDA approved drug for a rare disease based on their “expert review,” sir/madam I work at a place that writes expert opinions and was part of the FDA approval for said disease. It’s an easy but stupid (time wasting) appeal.

Spent day at hosp ,more disappointing news ! Is there anything that fibro can't take away from me/us ?! Cried the day and night ,wondering what else is left to lose ?! Pain hammering like hell ,yet no hope for relief ,fibro is life killer 😢

Just know that once I stop crying regularly #ForTinu, some won’t be ready for the new me. You may have thought I was insufferable before? The systems have taken away A LOT of things I love. But Tinu hurts the most. I will burn it all down for you. I will make things better.

Nobody can convince me that heart attacks & strokes before age 50 are normal. I've been around for a long time. This is not normal. Most of my doctor colleagues agree in private that something is very, very wrong, but they won't comment publicly.
