Osteoarthritis

Hi, my name is CStallings8. I've been diagnosed with several autoimmune diseases I’m dealing with a lot of pain and fatigue. I welcome any advice. 🙂

Hi

I am 45 years old, I like to read, and trying out all things in the arts and crafts area.

I live DID and C-PTSD as a result of highly organised and transgenerational severe abuse throughout childhood and adolesence.

Also diabetes 1 since I was a kid, fibromyalgia for as long as I can remember but diagnosed when I was 35, osteoarthritis in knees and hips diagnosed at the same time, and a few years after I developed psoriatic arthritis (no, that did not make either the diagnosis or the symptoms of fibro go away, and you're not the first to ask as this can just be confusing)

So I am used to living with fatigue, pain, nausea, thd fun package of 'self-regulation' that comes with diabetes type 1. And chaos, hypervigilence, etcetera in the mental department. I've long made my peace with that and try to make tomorrow a little better by coping well today (and then there's those days...)

But last Autumn I got a covid-19 infection and developed post covid/long corona. I have been told by thd medics that my autonomous nerve system has been affected by the virus during the acute infection state. That leads to different symptoms for everyone, fatigue being the most prevalent.

In my case the symptoms are that mild exercise or stress can cause severe illness that may last from hours to days (pem), palpitations when I stand for more than 10 seconds (oi/pots, shortness of breath, nausea and digestive problems, muscle tension and spasms, problems expressing myself, problems with concentration, coordination, memory, focus, language processing and reading. And of course the fatigue which is FAR worse than I am used to.

I feel powerless and lost.

I hope to find some peers here who know what I'm going through.

Hi, my name is Krystal. I'm here because I survived a near-fatal head collision that has left me partially disabled.

Hi, my name is LeanaMag.I’m here because I’m living with multiple chronic conditions, including endometriosis, adenomyosis (now post total hysterectomy) and stage IV osteoarthritis ( in two months knee arthroplasty) multiple cysts in my body. My journey has involved pain, surgeries, flare-ups, and a lot of inner work—but through it all, I’ve chosen to live as fully as possible. Despite everything, I live with purpose: travel, have passion for history, even find myself from gym time to time. I adjust where I need to, rest when I must, but I never abandon myself. I believe joy and pain can coexist, and I’m here to connect with others who understand that truth. Don’t you just hate it when they say: “ You’re attention seeker!” ; “Think less, then you won’t be sick!” or “ You’re too young to have all that!”

Hi, my name is majack71. I'm here because it's frustrating to deal with the chronic pain and reduced mobility caused by my arthritis and I would like people to share this with.

Hi, my name is Everleyenna22. I'm here because I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, I also have rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis . Also a long standing issue with depression and anxiety ( which is well maintained). I use a walker and a cane. A lot of the time I don’t have much energy and when I do I tend to overdo it as I feel so good, pay for it later, though. My aches and pains usually worsen as the day progresses, usually I’m better in the mornings. I’m also very affected by the weather.

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.

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
