    Flare up

    I suddenly felt this intense pain under my breasts and it really hurt so much, I couldn't move my arms. I had to lie down as suddenly the pain spread to my whole body and it hurt to move. I cried a bit as I listened to music and lied down then after an hour, I felt a bit better so got up and did some stretching. I also used my pain cream called fisiocrem and took this supplement called khapregesic which helps with period pain and anxiety. I feel so much better now and I am grateful for this 🙂

    Saw a rheumatologist today and same day had a new gp cancel appt

    I hate that the medical community could care less about us and more about their pockets. I have had horrible sub par community doctoring. And today the rheumatologist just knew me from a appointment I made online she didn't know me from atom. And made her own judgements in two mins even flat out sent me bk to my GP and endocrinologist. I am over this crap I so wanna give up finding remaining answers so bad. Plus two gp's in my area canceling appts for no good reasons. I am over it. The little care I do get is crap. #PCOS #Type2Diabetes #severestiffness #severebodypain #feelingveryalone

    Disability

    Anyone willing to share their experience going on disability? I am really struggling to work and have been unemployed a lot more than I've been employed... I have Bipolar I disorder, Autism, Complex PTSD, generalized anxiety, OCD, ADHD, learning disabilities, a tic disorder, and a personality disorder. Plus eating disorders and addictions that I am working on recovering from. In addition, I am having some physical health concerns and am going through gender transition. No wonder I'm overwhelmed!
