Just a disclaimer, when I said

'Pain is funny'

I didn't mean it

✨️Literally ✨️

I'm sure there have been studies on this and I would love it if anyone could link me to them, but constant pain, 24 hrs a day, fucks with your head.

I'm on day 6 of being stuck in bed with an arthritis flare and I've been trying to record my pain reach day so that I can talk to my rheumatologist about it when I see him next. And it's been so hard because every single day, I think to myself, 'from 1 to 10, 10 being the worst person ever, how was today?'

And you know what my answer is every single time?

'Welllll, it wasn't that bad.'

And every day I have to ask myself, 'self if it really 'wasn't that bad,' then why did we have to stay in bed all day? Did we choose to do so? Are we truly that lazy?' And I have to push through all the internalized ableism to even let myself look at the pain.

Only then can I start to think about putting a number to it.

And then I realize...I don't know what not being in pain feels like anymore? Like, I can't conceptualize the 1 on the scale, but I know I'm not at a 10 because I assume I'd probably be nonfunctioning if I was.

And the whole time I'm trying to figure all this out, there's a red light flashing and a siren going off that just says "I HURT" over and over again.

Today I need:

A shower

A hug that lasts for an hour

A painkiller that lasts for six hours.

Maybe an upgraded chassis would be nice.

It's a good thing I'm a West Coaster and a night owl. I get to see the things that people post late at night.

Thank you dear 💜💙💜💙🫂🫂 I love you too /platypus

Reaching out and asking for emotional reassurance/support/love is really hard for me, but its worse when i don’t and just suffer alone. So ive gotten better about it (on tumblr at least)

#kiwi answers #kiwi gets love #tree anon my sweet #eyy I’m weat coast and night owl too! #also i am thinking on your identity puzzle I’m just taking a while (and uh. a bit sidetracked with ny emotional state right now i guess?) #doesn’t help that i started today :/ #pain sucks

it is time for me to pile two weighted blankets on top of myself and read my own fanfiction until I fall asleep

Damn the medication on an empty stomach makes everything hurt...

There's a REASON medication should be taken with meals and I'm stupid. (aka I can't think beyond "This'll make pain go away" until my body then starts revolting because I haven't eaten anything yet)

#pain sucks #i have multiple and maybe related chronic pain issues #all undiagnosed because damn getting ANYTHING diagnosed is haaaard #personal

In my feels a little

Years of hard work, neglecting and abusing my body have left me sort of twisted out of true, no longer capable of holding my regular shape or serving my regular purpose.  And yet I spin, round and round in the same familiar groove.  There’s no way to escape, and not sure I would want to, not without breaking myself completely.   So I cling on, doing my best to avoid being in the way too much.  Growing thicker, paler, getting slower until one day, hopefully many years from now, I’ll stop.

I woke up feeling so good today, and I've had such a strong sense of gratitude all day.

I realize some of this could be the narcotics talking (I'm alternating narc pain killers with ibuprofen for now), but I have a strong sense of freedom, and like the toxicity has been removed from my body. Which technically I know it has, I just didn't think I'd be able to feel it so strongly. I'm still in some pain and recovering obviously but I haven't felt this healthy in such a long time.

And I'm just very, very grateful.

tfw your body is so broken in your 20s that you don't have to pay for a standing desk bc the insurance takes care of it 👁️👄👁️ being in pain every day has its upsides

#i'm jk #theres no upsides #pain sucks #but at least i dont have to sit anymore #that shit hurteded

Doctor: try to eat more greens. They should help with your endometriosis symptoms.

Me: I hate greens.

Doctor: if you put them in a smoothie, you can add fruits to it and it helps with the taste.

Me, after a week of drinking green smoothies: well, whaddya know? I actually feel better.

Also me: I still hate greens.

I just discovered that you’re not supposed to put nair on your armpits the hard way. It’s painful and slightly raw. 😭😭

Hey @kedreeva here's what Artemis 's painting looks like in the dark in my bedroom on a painsomnia night.

Bird feet are weirdly reassuring in this context.

...Pain is sneaky, we hates it

...Thank the kind gods that Flexiril works for me so I'm not subject to the ridiculous gatekeeping people have to deal with if any of the opiates are the pain meds that work for their bodies.

Let's try again to go to sleep, hopefully I'll stop grinding my teeth and can relax my neck and shoulders when the pain lets up.

Rose, tending to Dave's wounds: How would you rate your pain?

 Dave: Zero stars. Would NOT recommend.

Tonight has been a rough night. A couple of episodes and painful lingering after-effects have left me exhausted but unable to find rest. Days like this make me want to curl up in my sheets and cease to exist.

But life doesn't work like that. The baby doesn't stop needing her mum. The pets don't stop needing food and love. And so, I persevere.
