  11. I did *not* need a flare 4 days before surgery, no thank you. I hope it’s just the heat. Not that it’ll be much cooler in Porto. And the Ragweed pollen certainly isn’t helping.

    I was planning to deep clean the bathroom today so it’ll be clean when we get back. It’s pretty fucking gross, ngl. But I’m in so much pain :(

  15. So, a little over a month ago, one of my co-workers just quit after her shift without any sort of notice after the other front desk person had left with notice. So now, it’s just my office manager and I covering the desk. It’s been crazy and made worse by the fact I simply can’t catch up on my spoons. I’m rapidly running out of bandwidth to even put on a happy face for customers when I’m so sore and tired. Any advice from any other #spoonie ? How do you deal with something like this?

  24. I’m a customer at companies that insist in using their own ‘inbox’. So instead of sending me an email – or a letter – they use only their own website/app.

    They still send me emails, though: ‘There’s a new document in your inbox!’

    So, every time I have to go there, enter my credentials, and check out what they sent me. Nine out of ten times it’s just bullshit.

    Do they have any idea how hard it is for me to find the energy to do that?!

  26. 🌩️ Flare Report: Pain

    Pain isn’t always visible.

    It can burn, ache, throb, stab, or feel like your entire body weighs a thousand pounds. Just because others can’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t real.

    💜 If you’re hurting today, remember: You don’t have to earn your rest. Pain is reason enough.

    ❓What’s ONE thing you wish healthy people understood about chronic pain?

  27. 🧠☁️ Flare Report: Brain Fog

    Brain fog is more than being forgetful.

    It’s searching for the right words, losing your train of thought, rereading the same sentence, or walking into a room and forgetting why.

    For many of us with chronic illness, it’s one of the hardest invisible symptoms to explain.

    💜 Be kind to yourself on the foggy days.

    What’s the funniest or most frustrating brain fog moment you’ve had?
