    Young and strong

    Having a chronic illness is hard. Being young and having a chronic illness is harder #chronicmigraine #migrainesurvivor

    checking in

    Hi Friends how is everyone doing? It's been ages, things have been a bit crazy for me in real life. Pneumonia that lasted forever and a lot of dealing with family health issues. it's amazing how health stuff gets in the way of everything. 😔 Anyhoo, hoping my art friends are doing well. 💙🎨 I finally finished this illustration for one of my stories that I started years ago. Woop! I'll try to check in more again. #Art #ArtTherapy #ChronicPain #chronicmigraine #BackPain #PsoriaticArthritis #SpinalStenosis #spinalcordstimulator

    Toxic positivity

    Pondering Toxic Positivity this morning and how many around me, friends and family, have responded with such when it comes to my #ChronicIllness . Is it a learned/generational/cultural/societal thing we grow into, I wonder? That the knee jerk responses are expressions where we encourage the avoidance of all negative emotions and deny, minimalize, invalidate authentic human emotions? (It can occur with oneself as well- that inner voice telling you “you should be grateful..” in situations where you’re upset. )
    I can shrug it off because I am good with ‘It’s Okay to Not be Okay’, but I am curious now where it stems from..
    .

    Hey everyone! We’re Mita & Jen and new here!

    We are two friends wanting to swap ideas on creative coping skills with like minded people! We host a podcast called Creative Copes about this very subject with new topics every week. Maybe some of you can give us ideas what to talk about in upcoming episodes?

    Yesterdays episode

    In yesterday’s episode of my chronic migraine journey, had two more issues on top of it. I was in bed for most of the day. Don’t like getting sick; a simple cold or seasonal allergies make my migraines more difficult to manage.

    Coping Through the Pain/Anxiety

    What are some coping mechanisms when dealing with the pain? I have had migraines since I was a child but over a year ago I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (Psuedotumor Cerebi). Now on top of the pain, aura, etc I also get back, neck pain, lightheadedness, dizziness, and severe pain behind the eyes and from my shoulders up. Any day where the pain is less than a 7 is a blessing. I still work full time and push myself through the pain, recently I've noticed myself feeling much worse despite losing weight and my eye doctor saying he didn't see edema behind my eyes. Today it was so bad I went into the restroom and cried and asked myself how much longer can I do this, working full time trying to live life as normally as possible. I can't even walk long distances anymore (I used to walk a few miles a day) without getting short of breath, very light headed, and dizzy and without sharp pain. My family suggested getting a portable wheelchair, which I think at this point I may need. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! #chronicmigraine #Migraine #IntracranialHypertension #IdiopathicIntracranialHypertension #IIH #iihwarrior #ChronicPain #RareDisease #CheckInWithMe #BackPain #TheMighty
