My everything hurts except for the back of my head

The back of my head is still completely numb. I wonder how long it will last. My eyes are very sore from the vision problems I have. My back is very ouchy. My hips are stiff and sore. Pauley just gave me a Norco.

I'm starting to think maybe Saturday isn't Free comic book day. None of my local shops have posted about it. I'm very disappointed. I was excited to introduce my darling stupidhead Pauley to the shop. It's lots of fun.

I just remembered steroids increase BG temporarily. Usually for about a day at most. That explains why my BG went to insane levels.

Bad Pain Day (would appreciate feedback or anyone who can relate)

Had a very busy long day at work and pushed myself to do a social commitment after work. Then when I got home late at night I did two loads of laundry, washed dishes, and cleaned out the fridge. Probably not a smart choice due to my energy levels.

Feeling a lot of muscle pain, joint pain (even in my fingers), migraine and jaw pain.

Getting in my head about a huge life transition that is coming up. Scared due to the pain and the effort it is going to take, tired of being in pain. I am actively implementing some lifestyle changes to hopefully improve my situation naturally, but really not much is running smoothly.

sorry if I am being a downer #Fibromyalgia #EDS #Osteoarthritis #ChronicPain

I don't even know

I have been sleeping for the last 6 hours at least. Pauley woke me up twice and I got so confused. I've been so tired and I decided to catch up on my sleep since I don't have any appointments today.

I'm hoping to feel up to going to the art studio open house. It's from 1pm to 7pm. They're serving free wine and snacks. There's going to be a pizza food truck. I think it sounds really cool. I want to check out the sculpting studio. I want to do some sculpting.

My left hip really hurts. It's been bad since earlier yesterday. I'm very overdue for cortisone injections but I gotta find a hip specialist now for the injection and I'm having trouble finding one. Even my insurance website sucks for finding doctors . I need to find a pain clinic.

I don't think we're going to go to the open house... It's in 4 hours and Pauley hasn't slept yet.

Ozempic and fibromyalgia # fibromyalgia #Ozempic

I’ve been using a glp-1 agonist for 2 months and lost weight. But, I like the anti-inflammatory benefit as well. My chest pain and knee osteoarthritis hurt less. Curious if others notice something similar?

Hi, my name is bier. I'm here because I've been recently diagnosed with bilateral shoulder osteoarthritis. I'm 46 yo male and very active. History of anxiety and depression and catastrophizing and spiraling how my life will be with potential chronic pain.

Hi, my name is Lisha. I'm here because I’m just sick of all my family and friends asking me what am I doing next? I’ve been a chef over 20 years and these chronic illnesses keeps me from doing what I have always done. I don’t have an answer, so I feel misunderstood and angry that no one seems to understand.
