🌈“Try to be a rainbow…”🌈

The world can feel like a dark & lonely, especially when you live with chronic illness or chronic pain. That’s why it’s so important to share a little bit of light by checking in on someone you know who might be struggling, sending a message to let someone know you’re thinking of them, or even simply sharing a smile as you pass. 💝🌈

Fnd

So my neurologist can’t be sure that my chairi malformation isn’t the cause of my weakness down one side of my body (awaiting tests) and he strongly suspects FND. I’ve accepted I’ll have another diagnosis soon but having a really hard time not being able to do most things daily. For days I can’t even function what’s your go too? Can’t seem to concentrate on anything just feel numb #FND #MentalHealth #ChiariMalformation

I'm new here!

Hello!
My name is Allyson Hayden, I was diagnosed with FND in October 2022 and since then my life has changed drastically. I went form being a completely healthy 26yr old to being bound to my bed for 8 months. FND is so misunderstood in the medical field and as a result it took me almost 2 years to find a treatment team that fully understands my condition. I am here to help spread awareness and advocate for myself and others who suffer from this disorder.

💪🏻‘Courage’ is not ‘Fearless’💪🏻

Having courage is not the same as being fearless. When you complete a task despite being absolutely terrified, that is true courage! 💪🏻

🗓️Leap Day with #ChronicPain 🗓️

February 29th is a special day for so many reasons – Leapers get to celebrate their actual birthdays & then, of course, there are some romantic traditions too. Unfortunately, for those of us who live with Chronic Pain & Chronic Illness, Leap Years have a downside too because Leap Day means 24 extra hours of pain & other symptoms so amongst the mystery & magic of today please don’t forget to reach out to those who may be having a difficult time.

🤯My Brain Is Being Fried🤯

Living with chronic illness & a Neurological disorder - #FunctionalNeurologicalDisorder - is hard enough without having to spend most of the day watching tv & listening to music through noise-cancelling headphones because of the constant noise of power tools, hammering & general noise coming from my neighbours’ flat that is being renovated on the other side of our paper-thin, shared, walls. The none-stop noise & vibrations from heavy items being moved & clattered around constantly is really starting to fry my brain, use #spoons I don’t have & is really, really, grinding me down mentally, emotionally & physically. Which doesn’t help when it’s been a day when I have really needed to rest & take things easy.

I wouldn’t mind so much if this was over a short timeframe or within daytime hours but this has been going on for months now, on random days, with the noise starting at 7am - 8am & not ending until 10pm - 11pm with several hours during the afternoon & early evening where the contractors seem to disappear.

I’m exhausted, stressed, annoyed & feeling like I can’t even get my brain to process things very well. I feel like I’m going to explode from all the noise, frustration & tension that feelings like it’s frying my brain.
