I forgot that pulling on socks, when you have back pain, is difficult. It's almost impossible to do it when free standing but kneeling on the floor or sitting down and leaning against a wall or bed and pulling them on, is more likely to work without pain, because it supports the back.

This quote is so true- but it can be incredibly hard to believe, especially when we are in a dark place. But the more you believe it and push through, the darkness will go away. Find the light today. 🕯️

Move..I found this out the hard way because I had to take a very physical job and after about a month of significantly higher pain- I noticed a shift. Things actually started to subside and the flares got less. I guess I was building strength and stamina without realizing it. Although I did already walk daily, this was different. I didn’t get to sit or stay down like I was used to. The pain was always head to toe and I would find myself wrapped in heat a lot. Insulating myself - but also from life. Living with pain sucks, but not actually living is so much worse. I lost my job. I’m not getting in that bed. I don’t care if I walk in circles. 🤭#RheumatoidArthritis #Fibromyalgia #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #Osteoarthritis #acdf #Arthritis #BackPain

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.

To say I am in pain doesn't adequately express how I feel right now. When I sit up for any reason I get a wave of fuckme. Then when I try to walk to the bathroom I have a very sharp fuckthis in my lumbar. What's very weird is when I stand and walk I get a sharp pain in my jaw. But I just laid down and got an incredibly sharp feeling in my left hip.
************Pause for meds************
This pain is excruciating. It's much worse than my normal back pain. I just want to curl up and cry.
This is one of the best tips I learned recently. It works for any situation and is especially helpful for when we are already irritable or frustrated.
(I've been using it a lot with my kids).
Who could you try this tip on?

I woke up at 4pm confused cuz I was still on the couch and Pauley was awake. She's taking a shower but she only takes a shower when she's going out. So I'm not sure what to feel.
My right side upper gums hurt like hell. It's where my tooth broke 3 years ago. It feels like it's being ripped out.
As far as other pain is concerned, I'm mostly ok. I have some back pain but it's at 5. I don't have a migraine. I just popped my right hip quite loudly.
