Arthritis

#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 making abstract pieces of art to represent different chronic pain conditions we live with.

Wondering what your pain looks like!

If your body were a canvas, where would your pain exist?

What shape does your pain take?

If your pain were a colour, what colour would it be?

What texture?

If you had to give the “art piece” that is your pain a title, what would you call it?

Is there a metaphor or symbol you’d use to describe it when it’s at its worst? When it’s more manageable?

Are there spaces in your body, the spaces that live adjacent to your pain? What do those spaces look like? Does your pain blend into them, or do they stand in sharp contrast against each other?

Hi, my name is PinkPachederm. I'm here because I have several autoimmune issues: Reynards, Sjogrens, Fibromyalgia, CAD, Arthritis, Migraines, Chronic Fatigue - as we know is a symptom of all the aforementioned diseases. Then for some extra fun I have Neuropathy in my hands & feet, carpal tunnel in both hands, something else in my thumbs - can't remember the name, and Glaucoma. High blood pressure, though not too bad, is kept under control, as is cholesterol. I am in constant pain somewhere in my body every day if not all over. I can tell when the weather will change by my barometric migraines which are as bad as regular migraines. The regimen of daily pills & healthy diet can sometimes get frustrating when a flare up occurs & the meds for it just put me to sleep. I detest having to cancel plans due to a flare up or migraine so severe I can not function.
So, I am here to see if there really are like pained people. Sometimes I think I am going crazy with all this pain & all these issues. Is there anyone else experiencing all of this???

For years, pain ruled my life. What started as a dull ache in my lower back slowly spread to my hips, knees, and legs. Some days, the pain was so intense I could barely get out of bed. Nights were even worse—tossing and turning, unable to find a position that didn’t hurt. I was diagnosed with arthritis and nerve-related pain, and I tried everything: pain medications, anti-inflammatories, physical therapy, acupuncture, massage—you name it.

Some treatments helped temporarily, but nothing lasted. Worse, the side effects from the medications left me feeling foggy, tired, and sometimes even more miserable than the pain itself. I started avoiding people, skipping family gatherings, and saying no to things I used to enjoy. It felt like my world was getting smaller every day.

Then, by chance, I came across a post about PEMF therapy—Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy. I’d never heard of it before. At first, I was skeptical. Another “miracle” treatment? But something about it being non-invasive and drug-free caught my attention. I started reading stories from others who had chronic pain like me, and how PEMF had helped them. After a lot of hesitation, I decided to try it.

I’ll be honest—the first few sessions didn’t seem to do much. But after about a week, I noticed something small but important: I wasn’t waking up in as much pain. My mornings weren’t as stiff, and I could actually get out of bed without wincing. Over the next few weeks, I found myself moving more, sleeping better, and even smiling again. It wasn’t a dramatic, overnight change—but it was real.

PEMF didn’t “cure” me. But it gave me something I had lost—relief, energy, and hope. I finally feel like I have a tool that helps me manage my pain, instead of being controlled by it. And that, for me, has been life-changing.

Hi, my name is Tiaria. I'm here because I suffer from fibro, PTSD, degeneative disc disease and have arthritis prety much everywhere. I want to see if any one has any hints to make this all feel just a bit better.
