Today has been going well

Minimal pain cuz i ate a gummy.
Yesterday i got a very special bag of coffee in the mail . The brand is called LifeBoost. The coffee is called Highlander grog. It has notes of caramel, vanilla, and buttery rum.
Pauley made me a pot of it this morning and it was really strong but delicious. It tasted sweet and buttery. I mixed half of a cup of coffee with one scoop of the white chocolate mocha flavor protein coffee and a little bit of chocolate syrup. Holy damn Skippy it's opulent! It was perfect.
2 days ago Pauley and i ordered 4 jars of infused whipped honey. Blueberry, blackberry, cinnamon, and maple flavor. They arrived today via UPS
I was shocked by the quick turnaround. Pauley and i sampled all 4 flavors and they're so yummy. The maple is my favorite. The blueberry is very scrumptious too. I want pancakes so i can drizzle it on something yummy.
My neck has been hurting for the last 6 days. I've got osteoarthritis in my neck. It's very crunchy.
I'm craving French toast sticks coated in cinnamon sugar and dipped in honey.
Now the last thing I'm expecting is a bottle of beard oil. I found a company that makes very interesting scents. I ordered the one called Highway Hunter. It's roasted pumpkin, vanilla bean, and toasted marshmallow. I'm very excited. I figure I've got a beard now, i gotta treat it well.
We didn't go to the BBQ and bacon festival cuz I'm very low on funds... Someone with a credit card ordered over $350 worth of coffee this month. I'd do it again but I've got enough for the next few months.
In November we're going to the motor city comic con. I am quite passionate about comics. I wanted to be a comic book artist when i was in grade school. But my life went off the rails and that didn't happen. But I'm gonna try again.
The main reason I'm excited to go to the comic con is because they're going to display falcor, the rock eaters, and the scary wolf from the neverending story! That was my favorite movie when i was younger. Pauley has never seen it so I'm gonna rent it on Amazon prime.
The ends of my mustache keep going in my mouth.
I've taken 2 tramadol and 2 CBD gummies and half of a big gummy for my hip pain and it actually worked! Unfortunately my tummy is still unsteady. I'm hoping to be ok tomorrow for the transgender pride in the park. Pauley really wants to go.
I'm craving French toast.

Multiple Health Challenges 3w

Does anyone deal with fibromyalgia? If so, how do you manage and how do you sleep? I’m also dealing with many other health problems such as anxiety and depression and osteoarthritis. I feel like I’m literally falling apart.

Tingly burning sensation from the CBD cream but it'll calm down soon.

The pain in my groin from the bilateral femoral acetabular impingement, bursitis, osteoarthritis, bone on bone right hip fuckwoojies, and the unwelcome spurs in both joints. Needless to say I'm in an unsteady amount of pain every day.
My body loves playing the "pull a random disorder out of the hat" racket going on. It's trying to trigger every disorder I have.
Early afternoon I had the sensation I was verrrrery high. I took a few drags off my vape and I felt wonderful. Then I watched some fiction/ romance/tragedy love novels on Facebook reels. I tend to write a lot of fantasy when I'm high. I'll try the theory and... Well maybe I should go take a nap. I'm not feeling particularly well.

Im 51, had both knees replaced before I was 50, and 31 other major surgeries. I was having pain in my left hip for over a year and decided to go see my joint replacement surgeon. On Friday, June 19, 2026, I was advised both hips desperately need to be replaced. It made me very sad. I’ve since had 4 more surgeries, so I stand at 35 major surgeries u der the belt and my first hip being replaced Aug 13, 2026. I was supposed to go see my elderly father in September (an 11 hr car drive) and my 30 year old daughter (who unfortunately is following right in my broken body’s footsteps) were going to make the drive. Now that surgery has been scheduled, I have to put off seeing my dad. I hope and pray something doesn’t happen in the mean time. He’s 83 and his health is not good. He mentions every single day how hard it’s getting to do the simplest things and he’s “running out of time”. When I was 3, I started having physical issues, and was misdiagnosed with juvenile osteoarthritis. I was told I would outgrow it, but the knee pain never went away. As I previously mentioned, both knees were replaced before I turned 50. With my hips, I honestly was looking for a time frame before I needed to replace them. The pain has been getting bad over the last year. So when I saw my joint replacement surgeon, I was in shock when he didn’t give me a time frame, but said both hips desperately needed replacement. Two spinal fusions, thumbs are fused, prior my had my tibia nailed after a serious break, internal surgeries, chronic migraines, ME/CFS, POTS, heat intolerance, and a myriad of other health issues…. hEDS has destroyed my body and me feel like I was 81, not 51. I should be thoroughly enjoying life at my age, and for the first time in 7 years, I finally able to get out of bed. I got diagnosed with CFS when I was 15 years old, back in the 80’s. I’ve lived with relapses throughout my adult life. I caught the original form of COVID back in January 2020, and have been in bed since. Often too tired to hold a conversation. My mother, who had lung cancer, was coming once a week from 50 miles away to help me, with my house, do my laundry, and cook for me. As guilty as I felt, I couldn’t control anything. After nearly 7 years of trying different supplements, I’ve found about 30 different ones that I take each day, and I’m now able to get out of bed, run an errand or two, get a grocery pickup order when necessary and go to Drs appointments. I e been disabled since 2010, and for the first time in 16 years, have a teeny bit of energy that I’m more than grateful for!! I do feel like everyone had moved on, I e list all my friends, bc once you can’t join theM anymore, they tend to forget about you. Most of my family doesn’t understand what I’m truly going through, and my sisters say I just need more sun and exercise, to get out of depression. They have no idea. My mother, now my father, and my daughter who has inherited everything wrong with me are the only ones who understand. But, I’m here to say, that things can look up, even after all this time. Even though both hips are getting replaced now, after both knees and 33 other major surgeries, I have a little bit of energy. This is more than I could say since 2009. So, I wish everyone who is struggling like myself, to know that someone DOES understand, and my heart goes out to you. And maybe, just maybe, things can start looking up, even at the darkest of times. Love to all my zebras 🦓❤️

Hi, my name is WorthyOfJoy. I've been living with autoimmune disease and chronic illness for over 30 years, and I'm a breast cancer survivor with BRCA1. Even though disease has been a significant part of my life, I strongly believe that I am not defined by it, and I can still live a full and joyful life. That said, some days can be tough, and supportive friends are always a huge help.I look forward to connecting to other people who feel the same. #MightyTogether #Fibromyalgia #Lupus #graves 'Disease#RaynaudsPhenomenon #Osteoarthritis #EhlersDanlosSyndrome

My lower half needs to be replaced

My lumbar is mangled with regrowth of spinal epidural lipomatosis and 2 new spots of stenosis. My right hip is bone on bone. Both hips have femoral acetabular impingement, bursitis, osteoarthritis, and bone spurs. I'm in so much pain. And that's just the bone stuff.
I need a break away from home for a few hours. To sip coffee and eat a bragel sandwich. It's so comforting and delicious. I want a grilled cheese sandwich really badly. Like down into my soul.

This onslaught of pain is exhausting

OMG my left hip is throbbing again. And my eyes...might as well be grapes at a wine stomping festival. I didn't sleep last night. I've been eating very poorly lately. I've been drinking IQ Joe instead of making myself a pot of coffee. Which is fine, it's strong coffee and it's toasted hazelnut flavor. It's delicious.
I have a big stash of coffee but I just got some special tea from August uncommon. And I want to have a tea party with my darling stupidhead wifey Pauley. I was thinking chicken salad sandwiches and biscotti and cinnamon tea for Pauley and pumpkin caramel rooibos tea for me. It's ridonkulously delicious. I think she might enjoy it.
I hate being home alone. I end up curled up in my bed with my blankie and lux my cow baby.
I am sweating quite a lot and I'm overheating. My psychiatrist thinks the sweating is being caused by my Zoloft so he reduced my dose. I guess my frequency of sweating has decreased. He said he wants to get me off Zoloft completely and increase my imipramine. I used to take 75mg of Zoloft and now I'm down to 50mg.
I'm gonna go lay down and meditate for a while...and other lies I tell myself.
