Atrial Fibrillation


#MySymptoms
I want to be able to move up to running, without becoming unreasonably puffed. To move around without being limited by my heart.

What’s your least favorite symptom today?

Some days, chronic pain may get the best of you. Other days, you might feel weighed down by compulsive thoughts or behaviors.

Let’s spend a #MightyMinute and meet our health conditions/disabilities where they’re at right now — it might not take our loudest symptoms away, but at least we don’t have to experience them alone.😌

If my symptoms could talk right now, they would say...

Would fatigue command you to stay in bed? Would racing thoughts try and convince you the worst will happen? Or perhaps brain fog would say, “Oops, I forgot!”

Finish this sentence and give your symptoms a voice today. 📣

Oct. 2018: #MySymptoms ...

Nerves vibrate, turn me from
sedentary spoon to tuning fork.

Joints break up and make up
like quarrelling lovers.

Appetite has fled, to cohabitate
with Memory- far away from me.

Brain contains a storm
a mass of rain, clouds, and lightning
that waxes and wanes
from damp fog to hurricane.

Muscles tremor like mild earthquakes,
frequent, uncomfortable, but not dire.

Hands tremble. Feet freeze.

Urine leaks. Stomach screams.
Thoughts flee.

(Am I still me?)
