We never chose this life. I was fit and healthy before complicated words impacted my life. I didn't drink alcohol, followed a vegan diet and hated sitting still. But life didn't care, it had other plans for me. I'm the blink of an eye, everything changes and it just keeps on changing. Chronic illness can come upon anyone at anytime, and whilst some may come and go... My collection of illnesses are now with me forever more. I wish it could be different, but I don't wonder why me, because it won't change a thing. My journey to acceptance seems to have started all over again, and I guess it will every time life throws another curve ball my way. I just wanted you all to know how amazingly you do each and every day, to live in a life you didn't pick and you wouldn't wish upon anyone. You are all my inspiration, my motivation and my reason why self pity is never an option. We're on this journey together 💛🙏 #quote #qotd #wordsofwisdom #wednesdaywisdom #myjourney #journey #storytelling #story #spoonie #spoonielife #Fibromyalgia #fibro #hypermobility #endometriosis #endo #endowarrior #endowarrior #chronicpain #chronicallyill #chronicillness #chronicallyawesome #chronicallyfabulous #pain #womenshealth #Support #1in10 #advocate #lifelessons #wakeup #amazing

Last weekend, I was completely exhausted and at my witts end with pain. When my doctor asked me why I was there, I burst into tears as I began describing the full body pain that currently encompasses me. I cried out of anger, out of frustration, out of the inability to better describe my pain as being anything other than what it is. It's everywhere! I cried because I knew medication had to be my only answer and I cried harder when I was told no pain medication would ease what I was feeling. I cried because I didn't want my life to be this way. I cried because plans of a family had to be put on hold, with no timescale associated. I left and cried on the journey home, that my life had changed within a week... And there was absolutely nothing I could do about it. When you loose the tiny bit of control you have over your life, you begin to grieve for your former life, your former abilities... Your former self. You begin medication with tears in your eyes and a lump in your throat, you do anything to stop everything hurting. You hope loudly and silently that this will be the answer. #doctor #gp #pain #painmanagement #Fibromyalgia #fibro #medication #cry #crying #cleanse #chronicpain #chronicallyill #chronicallyawesome #chronicallyfabulous #endometriosis #endo #endowarriors #endowarrior #1in10 #womenshealth #fertility #plans #hopes #emotion #journey #mystory #myjourney #storytelling #storytime

Ever wish you hadn't googled something? That's where I'm at right now, thankful for a lifeline whilst horrified at some of my research. I know most people will only ever take the time to leave a review of a negative experience, which is a lot of what I've read online already. Do any of you lovely people have any experience with Duloxetine / Cymbalta in connection to fibromyalgia? I fully appreciate that everyone reacts differently to medication, but it'd be great to hear from some of you directly 🙏 Thank you in advance 🤗 #medication #drugs #meds #research #awareness #education #knowledge #Fibromyalgia #fibro #tablet #experience #nervepain #nervedamage #endometriosis #endo #endowarrior #endowarriors #1in10 #invisableillness #chronicpain #chronicillness #chronicallyawesome #chronicallyfabulous #spoonie #spoonielife #myjourney #health #guidance #Support #help

Today *sighs* has been a huge kick to my life, when I've had to take a step back and prioritise my pain over my future hopes and dreams. Last year I declined medication that could help with fibromyalgia and nerve pain, due to my plans to start a family. I chose a family over pain relief, over any kind of pain relief. I went about life pretending that my decision wasn't impacting my every day life, until life stopped me in my tracks and forced me to look at the bigger picture. To look at my whole self, what I need and what the right plan is for me in the here and now. My doctor agreed I'm in a full blown fibromyalgia flare up and pain medication will not help me... At all. Instead medication is required to try and stop the pain signals in my body, and the hope is the interference will ease my pain. I'm against medication that does not help people, but right now, I need help, more than I ever have done before. So if this can help, I'm now ready and willing. This means temprorarily pressing pause on my dreams of a family, and focusing purely on my own health. Ultimately, this means starting medication I've been refusing for six months. I'm upset and confused. I feel like I've let myself down on so many levels. My husband and family agree, when the time is right everything will fall into place, but for now let's get me out of this flare at any means possible 🙏 💔 #life #Fibromyalgia #flare #flareup #pain #painful #endometriosis #endo #endowarrior #endowarriors #1in10 #invisableillness #chronicpain #chronicillness #chronicallyill #chronicallyfabulous #chronicallyawesome #spoonie #meditation #meds #nerves #painrelief #pause #plans #future #holistic #wellness #wellbeing #selfcare #selfworth

This week has been the hardest I've experienced in a very long time, in which my pain has escalated beyond control. Last year having visited pain management twice and a Rhumetologist, they both concluded after their tests that I have fibromyalgia. Yet no one has ever began treating me for having this and that seemed fine when I could cope. I'm at the point now, where I'm sick of crying through the pain, I'm exhausted from the lack of sleep because of the pain, and I'm petrified at how quickly this came on and how little I've been able to do this week. And yet I'm still exhausted. Tomorrow morning I'll sit with a doctor and cry my eyes out, I need help, I can't continue down this path with no guidance, no pain managment and no quality of life. So I've got a folder filled with my medical journey to try and give my doctor a view of everything I'm dealing with. One day you're coping just fine, the next you're struggling to keep your head up. My heart goes out to all of you in a similar position, you can't see our pain, but it's encompassing every single part of our bodies and stopping us living any kind of life. Any tips on coping would be amazing 👐 #invisable #hidden #hide #fullbody #chronicpain #painful #Fibromyalgia #fibro #diagnosis #plan #nextsteps #painmanagement #endometriosis #endo #endowarrior #endowarriors #1in10 #invisableillness #chronicallyawesome #chronicallyfabulous #spoonie #spoonielife #health #womenshealth #exhausted #skin #coping #stress #painsomnia #insomnia
