Used a weeks spoons in a day #MightyTogether

Does everyone tell them selves no matter how “good” they feel they will not over do it? Well Sunday was my one day last week that I could spend with my daughter, fiancé and dog all together. I ran on adrenaline all day and thought wow I’m feeling pretty super human today, well super human compared to my normal state. By the time our toddler was in bed the groans of pain began to kick in and before you know it I was in crippling pain, in tears. Now it’s Tuesday evening and I am still suffering the consequence of over spending on my spoons!! I’d love to say I’ll never do this again but I know fine well it is a viscous circle! #OwnWorstEnemy #ChronicPain #invisibledisabilities #Parenting #BackPain #ChiariMalformation #younganddisabled #ChronicIllness #ChronicIllnessConfessions

Well isn't this all exciting! #MightyTogether

Hi everyone. I have been a secret Mighty stalker for years. I have read many stories and thoughts which have helped me through some tough times and have enjoyed the feeling of knowing that I AM NOT ALONE, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE feeling this way. After months of humming and hawing about putting pen to paper (or finger to key) to share my most inner thoughts and feelings I eventually began to write my first story. I am extremely proud to say my story is going to be published soon and I will now be a Mighty contributor. Selfishly I am excited to explore my venerability through my writing as I find this really helps me mentally. I am also hoping that my contributions will lead to others finding peace with their conditions and emotions, this is not something I have ever experienced as I have no one who can relate to how my life is impacted by health issues. What you can expect from me is brutal honesty; I am not scared to talk about the macabre. I do in time hope to bring some humour to my writing as lets face it we all need a little giggle now and then. Thank you for taking your time to read my thought, I hope this leads to you reading my story once it is published and I am sitting on tenterhooks for the response I receive. #ChronicPain #BackPain   #ChiariMalformation #ChronicIllness #InvisibleDisability #younganddisabled #Disabledparent

The pain of having neuropathy #younganddisabled

I am so nervous about getting a walker, but I know it would be better for me than a cane because I feel like the cane isn't enough anymore.

2019 - The Year I Fell Apart

This year I started off by trying to find out why I was infertile. Chronic pain, fatigue, and fevers turned out to be mixed connective tissue disease with Fibromyalgia. Heart palpitations turned out to be a-fib. Started treatment for mast cell activation with allergy injections 2x a week with physical therapy. Finally, merry f***ing christmas here's the flu. I survived, next year..... ???
