Excercise

Ever since I got diagnosed I have tried and failed to find a excercise regime that works for me. Ive never liked excercise but even excercises that are supposedly "easy on joints" hurt. I have Lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Ive tried walking, biking, yoga! Nothing seems to work. Anyone have any tips? #Lupus #ChronicIllness #Arthritis

My partner seems to think this will help.

I have lived 30 years with off the charts pain. I have been to dozens of doctors, I had an accident when j was 17, and then my body developed a rare form of arthritis, and it has been horrible. I found a doctor finally last year who thought he could fix my pain, or at least lessen it by 90% and I cannot afford it. I have spent 7 months begging everyone , charity, organization and anyone else I could find for help, and it is just not meant to be.

During that time we have had the ability get my partner medical care, and even a surgery. I will told then I would have to wait for 2 more weeks and we then would be able.to afford.to get me help.

Things have now changed and that 2 weeks never happened,.and it will not be happeneing

He is now telling me things like, people have it worse then me, and that it will get better some day(I have in fact gotten steadily worse for 30 years, and especially in the last year) I will not just heal by some miracle. I was not worth helping, but he was. The message there was clear, am I wrong?

So Pretty!

My Brain somehow can relate to these plants. For those that don't know, these are called skunk cabbage. They grow wild in damp, low lying areas. Later in the season, they will smell...really BaD!!! Lol. But, for now, aren't they pretty? #Fibromyalgia #HypothyroidismUnderactiveThyroidDisease #Anxiety #Arthritis #Grief #DistractMe
