I'm new here!

Hi, my name is j3nny3lf. I'm here because I live with BPD, BiPoD, severe arthritis that has had me in a wheelchair since 1996, Autism, Compulsive Overeating, and the list goes on!

Discovered CripplePunk and TheMighty just today, feel like I have found my tribe.

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

life changes real fast

Living with my second *gnarly* external fixator since my climbing accident almost a year ago. This iconic leg has seen four surgeries with two big frames, bone grafts, internal hardware, and loads of PT to recover mobility and remedy my limp. Ankle ROM has been very stubborn and the arthritis is killer at times.

I’m hopeful to hike again someday soon, even if it’s painful-because nature is where I am most myself. I’d like to connect with others who were injured in sports accidents or who got hurt doing the things they love. #LimbDifference #Arthritis

Talking about Chronic Pain through Art

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?

I'm new here!

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???

Coming up for air

I’ve spent four of the last six months in the hospital. Everything seems to be falling apart. I have never been this weak nor unsure of my future. For the first time in my life I’m not in control and I’m scared. Don’t know what hashtags to use here but here goes—#PTSD #Fibromyalgia #Migraines #GallbladderDisease #hashmotosthyroiditis #Arthritis
