Struggling to find work in America, let alone Florida right now. The unemployment numbers are based on whom receives it; especially when the service doesn't work, to keep you out. Walking with a cane, doesn't help. I won't stop.

Walk the walk and talk the talk...

I've hit the end of the road for conservative treatments for severe OA in my shoulders and now have been referred for bilateral shoulder replacements ASAP.

I think I have more options than joint replacements.

Chronic pain management is what we both know well.

Talk the talk and walk the walk...

Goal - back on my bike, back at my loom.

I think my guts are finally recovered from last week’s flareup. Looking forward to my GI tract acting like a normal person’s. It’s nice to have my appetite back and no longer look pregnant. Glad my digestion is back on track. I was able to do my physiotherapy exercises today without additional discomfort. #IBS #Diverticulosis #ChronicPainWarrior

I watched a documentary about H P Lovecraft the other night. He was sending his stories out about a hundred years ago. The documentary talked about how difficult it was to make a living on this alone. Then it talked about how much he got for his stories, and even without adjusting for inflation, fiction magazines paid more then than the bulk can now. That’s fucked.

I’m incredibly lucky that my husband makes enough money that I can afford to write fulltime. I don’t know what I’d do if he couldn’t. I’m too disabled to hold down a regular job. My body dictates how much work I can do. My headache today only let me start writing later this afternoon. The morning was mostly a waste. This year has not started off well for me, pain-wise. #WritingCommunity #AuthorsOfMastodon #Lovecraft #spoony #ChronicPainWarrior

My guts are much better today than they were yesterday. I spent much of yesterday in bed and ate very little. I still don’t have an appetite today, but at least I don’t feel like I’m so bloated my skin will burst. I’ve spent the morning sending my writing off to various publications. This afternoon will be spent writing, unless my body fucks off on me again. #ChronicPainWarrior #IBS #Diverticulosis #Writing

I’ve felt well enough to make supper two nights in a row! May the headache stay away, and may the banks of brain fog soon part. #ChronicPain #Migraine #BrainFog #ChronicPainWarrior

My toothache has been flaring up again for the past three days. I can’t get the tooth pulled for another month. It’s hard to get anything done with this much pain, but the Advil helps. I’m doing my best to avoid going back on antibiotics because those make my guts freak out, and getting them back in working order is long and painful ordeal. I’ve had a headache as well, and I’m sure it’s all related. I think I’m going through an inflammatory response as I continue to recover from COVID and while the weather fluctuates. #ChronicPainWarrior #ChronicPain #MaskUp #ChronicIllness

I don’t like taking pills. I woke up with a raging headache and it’s still not gone, so I finally resorted to taking an Advil. I hope it works. My brain is in no shape to do anything today. #ChronicPainWarrior #headache

I feel like I’m finally back to normal. I managed to train at the gym every day this week, and my muscles are strong again. My guts are operating the way they should, and my toothache has receded to manageable levels of pain. I wrote a flash fiction, a new chapter for my manuscript, and I did housework. I sure wish I could be this way every week, but my disabilities crop up randomly and grind me to a halt. All I can do is maximize these good days. #spoony #ChronicPainWarrior #ChronicPain #InvisibleDisabilities #FitAfter50

Today is the first day in a couple of weeks that I’ve been able to go to the gym, get some writing done, and make supper. I didn’t get as much done as I wanted, but I also didn’t have to spend most of the day lying down because of exhaustion and pain. Off to the gym again tomorrow morning. Gonna get swole. Heh. #Spoonie #ChronicPainWarrior

I was in a lot of pain for a couple of weeks, but I met with my naturopath, she listened to my issues, and helped me come up with a treatment plan which is helping. Liposomal vitamin C and zinc have helped calm my dental pain enormously. Thank fuck. It was very hard to function at all. I’m even able to eat normally again. I still need to get that tooth removed, but I no longer have to suck up nonstop agony. #ChronicPain #ChronicPainWarrior #Toothache

6/

"7. “I’m in more pain than someone could even imagine. I wouldn’t wish this pain on my worst enemies. I don’t like to complain to those around me because if I did, I’d be complaining 24/7 and I don’t want to be ‘annoying’ or ‘a burden’ to anyone.”

What a difference it makes when the air is clean and I’m not full of pain. I walked about ten km today, did a workout, and got a bunch of writing done. May there be many more such good days. #ChronicPainWarrior #CleanAirForAll

I’m working on a little writing. Let’s see how much I can get done while suffering from rot gut. I’m working on my novella about two little girls lost in the NB Appalachians. #IBS #ChronicPainWarrior #WritingCommunity

My guts still feel terrible, but they are getting better. I felt well enough to write and do some housework yesterday, and this morning I cleaned the bathroom. I hope they’re back to proper working order soon. #IBS #ChronicIllness #ChronicPainWarrior

leave me alone, i have a literal disability that attacks my hands. i do the best i can stand to do. #autoimmunearthritis #chronicpainwarrior #spoonie

From the prestigious CDC in the US:

Chronic Pain Among Adults — United States, 2019–2021

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7215a1.htm

"Among all chronic medical conditions reported, the age-adjusted prevalence of chronic pain & high-impact chronic pain was highest among adults with a history of #myalgicencephalomyelitis / #chronicfatiguesyndrome (70.0% & 43.8%,respectively) & dementia (54.9% & 34.2%"

I’d been looking forward to getting a lot of writing done this week, but the pain gods thought otherwise. Thankfully, I was able to get some done today. I drew upon Frankenstein retellings, the begat section of the bible, folklore, and zoology to make something fun. #AmWritingSlipstream #AmWriting #writingCommunity #ChronicPainWarrior
