Ugh

As long as I don't move there's no pain.
I had to go downstairs for 2 packages cuz Pauley was not going to help. By the time I got back to my apartment I was out of breath and wheezing.
My COPD got bad over the last 2 years. Now I've got dulera and a rescue inhaler.
My hips don't hurt like I expected. My tummy doesn't hurt anymore. And I don't have a migraine. But both of my knees are very ouchy. And I've got a mass the size of half of a hot dog under my abdominal wall. It's basically a cyst from a testosterone injection. It really hurts.
I keep thinking I have plans for the weekend but the only thing I can think is I wanted to do a fun charcuterie board and movie night. I need to get grapes.
Next week Saturday is the curiosities and oddities expo. We're going with my QPP. We've gone the last 2 years and it's become something we really look forward to. I'm gonna try to find a really cool necklace and a new shirt. I'm gonna wear my baphomet shirt from last year. I decided I'm gonna wear my puppy gear to the expo. I'll have my partners take cool pictures so I can share.
Of course the week before that I have 5 appointments. I'm gonna really need to unwind and be surrounded by dark macabre trinkets baubles and tchochki.
I've been crying off and on for a few days. So much emotional weight on my shoulders. And I need to talk to someone who understands how scary it is to have so many health issues happening all at once.
I messaged my aunt over the weekend and she replied today. We chatted about health issues. I told her about what I have going on. My mom doesn't tell her about me. And I found out the only way she talks about me is to bitch about what topics we discuss.

New group formed for anyone with osteoporosis

#MultipleSclerosis I formed this group for I did not find any for those living with osteoporosis. I called this new group: "Living with Osteoporosis". The goal for this group is like other groups in that it is a space to discuss any and all difficulties with this condition. There are many people who have it and I am among them. Apparently, my case is severe enough to take medication for it. Who out there has had difficulties with this? If so, what are they?#Anxiety #Arthritis #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #CommonVariableImmuneDeficiency #ComplexRegionalPainSyndrome #CoronaryHeartDisease #CrohnsDisease #CheckInWithMe #CheerMeOn #MightyTogether #MyCondition #MultipleSclerosis #MoreDiseases #ChronicIllness #ChronicIllness #Osteoporosis #Other #ChronicObstructivePulmonaryDisease #Fibromyalgia #Endometriosis #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #UlcerativeColitis #RheumatoidArthritis

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is mari101_2000. I'm here because I think online support is critical. I'm a 48-year-old mom of two. Brittany is 28 and is on the autism spectrum and has PTSD. My son, Tyler, is 24 and diagnosed with bipolar and ADHD. He is unmedicated by choice. He's been sentenced to three years for probation absconding. We don't have a relationship at the moment. I've been through a lot of trauma, I'm either MDD or Bipolar 2, and I don't know why they can't tell the two apart. I have CPTSD, depression, and anxiety. I also have a chronic illness.. I have very bad gastroparesis, and it's really affecting my life. I also have horrible arthritis, fibromyalgia, and back and hip pain. These are the things that I'm struggling with. Brittany had a baby that she'd worked very hard to bring forth. She had Everleigh, and she was a stunner. Five weeks later, she died of SIDS. So we are all grieving her. Also, we lost my mother to Alzheimer's about 6 months later.

Sorry, I just spilled my guts. Hope to make some connections!
