#Fibromyalgia #IdiopathicNeuropathy

Today is a bad pain day. To the point I'm actually sick to my stomach level pain. Tylenol ain't cutting it and my nerve medicine feels like I'm drinking water. My clothes feel to rough and my socks and shoes feel like a sander going over my feet. I was afraid I overdid yesterday but I had no choice it had to be done

The struggle is real... #Gastroparesis #Migraine #POTS #IdiopathicNeuropathy #ChronicPain #Depression

I struggle every single day... I rarely find the energy to even get out of bed most days. I used to do things without having to think twice... now i have this internal dialog constantly fighting every single thought and hope that tomorrow will be that elusive “good day”. I make promises to myself that I cannot keep...tomorrow I will get out of bed, I will shower, I will participate in life. I disappoint my family and friends a lot...yet, my own disappointment is far greater than theirs could ever be. I am unreliable to my friends and family but even more so to myself! My body has betrayed me leaving a reflection in the mirror that is unrecognizable...a stranger. Every. Single. Day. Is. A. Struggle...with no end in sight. I ask myself, “Is showering really worth the effort today?” And the answer, most often is, “NO!”. I am not alone in this...yet the loneliness is overwhelming most days. This is chronic illness...living with gastroparesis, migraines, pots, neuropathy, chronic pain, depression - a lifelong sentence with no end in sight...
