#it is a BAD chronic illness day

[musical-chick-13]

I did NOT spend five fucking years breaking my back and my brain getting a degree in this for people to say that musical theatre is corny and useless and inherently shameful.

#YOU get through a two-show day with 9 intensive dance numbers!! YOU learn a sondheim score!!!! YOU sing an emotionally intense song that #hits a little too hard without crying onstage!!!!!!!!! YOU do all the work of singing a song in a strange style in a consistently healthy #way that doesn't ruin your voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #YOU do the vocal stamina exercises and sit in a practice room for 50 minutes each day going over the same phrase to figure out #how it sits in your voice without losing your sanity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP #In the Vents #oh I am BITTER today my friends #it is a BAD chronic illness day #do not MAKE me pull out my 10 minute stephen schwartz presentation do not MAKE me scream about the instrumentation in #the deathnote stage musical do not MAKE me live-stream a practice session of trying to learn how to sing 'stupid with love' without #sounding like a dying rabid animal #NOBODY WANTS ANY OF THAT BUT I WILL DO IT IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND™ #WATCH RAGS! WATCH LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA! WATCH PASSION! WATCH PARADE! WATCH THE COLOR PURPLE! IF YOU'RE /SO/ INSISTENT THAT EVERY WORK HAS TO #DEAL WITH BIG SOCIAL/PERSONAL ISSUES IN A COMPLETELY REALISTICALLY SERIOUS WAY TO BE WORTHY OF ATTENTION #SOMETHING DOESN'T HAVE TO BE GRITTY AND JOYLESS AND GRIM TO HAVE ANYTHING MEANINGFUL TO SAY ABOUT THOSE ISSUES #WICKED HAS THEMES OF OPPRESSION THAT ARE ARTICULATED MORE ORGANICALLY THAN A LOT OF '''''SERIOUS''''' WORKS BUT NOBODY WANTS ME TO TALK #ABOUT THAT

shout out to other cripples who just smell terrible all the time. whether because you don't shower/bathe, don't use deodorant, don't change your clothes often, live in an environment that smells bad so it rubs off on you, or can't smell so you can't tell you smell bad. hygiene is difficult and a pain in the ass and being bad at it doesn't mean you're any less worthy of respect and care

#cripple punk #grymms spectacular fucking posts #personally i wear clothes days in a row and can't smell so i dont always know how bad i smell #cripplepunk #cpunk #actually disabled #chronic illness

[ID: Three photos of embroidery hoops showing different scenes. The first is of two hands, shaded in blue and white, delicately posed with magical sparks floating over one palm. The background features swirls of smoke in shades of purple, gray, and red.

The second hoop shows a woman arching backward dramatically while dozens of disembodied red hands reach for her from a black ooze on the ground. The woman’s heart is glowing bright enough to light a halo around her, and her outstretched hand is emanating a similar burst of light.

The third hoop shows a woman standing on a rocky outcropping before a stormy sea. She holds an old-fashioned lantern up while the wind whips at her dress and waves pound the rocks around her. In the middle distance, an ominously red-tinged lighthouse looms, with a figure silhouetted in the doorway. Dramatic clouds cover the background. End ID]

Some of my most recent embroidery projects! I’m hoping to start selling these at some point, so keep an eye out for that!

I hate that being sick means that you sometimes have to say no to things even if it breaks your heart.

#i have a chance to visit my month old niece today but i cant go because i havent showered in 5 days #and im only awake right now because I had a horrible sleep experience yesterday #not to mention i had to miss thanksgiving #i couldnt call my sister like she asked me to because of my bad night of sleep #fibromyalgia #chronic pain #chronic illness

[swordsonnet]

the most annoying thing about me/cfs is that it's more like 10 different illnesses in a trenchcoat. i'll wake up with a new symptom and be like "oh okay, guess that's what we're doing today"

#pretty much anything can be a symptom of me/cfs so you're constantly left wondering if the new bullshit you're going through #is a sign of some other illness or if its just your old pal me/cfs getting creative again #ive been having a really bad whole body itch these past few days and i have no idea where it's coming from or when it's going to go away #but i would like not to feel like theres an electric current running beneath my skin thanks #i think the constant fatigue brain fog and muscle pain is more than enough #maybe it's just a crash or something though idk #(briefly) left the house for the first time in over a month on friday and it was really nice but my body Did Not Like It #so now its punishing me for my hubris #ugh #chronic illness #actually chronically ill #me/cfs #myalgic encephalomyelitis #chronic fatigue syndrome #can someone please come up with a better name for this illness #chronic illness fuckery

Well well well if it isn't The Consequences

#so it turns out that popping naproxen pills like candy for several days to push yourself through a flare is a bad idea #whoopsies! #fibromyalgia #fibropain #fibro problems #chronic pain #chronic illness #disabled #disability #unironically would kill for tums and pain relief atm

One of my biggest tips for people with chronic illness…get yourself a nurse practitioner.

I told my nurse practitioner what happened at the ER and she immediately got ahold of her hospitals Cardiology department and bumped my appointment up three weeks so I could get in tomorrow.

I hear all the time from both doctors and patients that some how nurse practitioners are able to hang on to their compassion & empathy and believe me when I say that’s exactly the type of person you need fighting for you in the medical community.

I'm not surprised that my leg is on fire from chronic pain but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it.

#i went to the circus yesterday and so obviously today is going to be a bad pain day but i'm still tired of always being in pain #chronic pain means chronic fatigue #so i'm also exhausted #chronic pain #chronic fatigue #chronic illness #although i hate that term #disabled #disability #disabilties #hypermobility #hypermobility spectrum disorder #hip labral tear

Sometimes I forget why I am not living the life I used to live....

Last week I was on vacation and we begged our parents to let us attend the f1 race in bahrain and we've been saving up money for it and we were so excited. I managed to attend the whole event.

I won't deny that I had fun. But now I can barely move. I just slept all day and last night. And I genuinely don't have the energy to even keep my eyes open.

My pain is at a 9 and I'm struggling to do the most basic tasks.

And all I can think of is that this is why I stopped doing taekwando, this is why I stopped going to the gym, this is why I am not going on walks every day..... it's not because I'm lazy but because my body will shut down if I do too many activities in one day.

#fibromyalgia #chronic fatigue #spoonie #low spoons #chronic illness #cant believe how much of my life i spend waiting to go to sleep #like i am all caught up with the shows i am invested in and dont have the energy to start a new one #and i feel bad for not spending my time on something i value more than scrolling through pinterest... but i just cant bring myself to #i dont want to make this too negative because i had a really good day and didnt overextend myself #but that does include an evening of hibernating bc i am out of spoons

Hi I know it’s been over a year since I’ve been active on this blog but my joints seem to be deteriorating and I still have no diagnosis to help me figure out how to manage it better so right now it’s pretty much a guessing game of what will and won’t work. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew of anything like a knee brace you can sleep in? I know sleeping in braces can be harmful but I’ve been in pain so often lately and for such little things that I’m desperate.
