Pain is pain. You never get used to it. It doesn't make you stronger. You simply tolerate it & try to survive. #ChronicLife #spoonielife

I canβt speak for everyone but for me, even after all these years, I am still coming to terms with #fibro. Itβs a daily battle; some days I feel like Iβve completely accepted it & can roll with the punches, other days Iβm left scrambling & feel overwhelmed. Take it day by day.β€οΈ

Random ? for my fellow #insomniacs out there: I heard a report today that indicated ppl on #twitter generally follow like-minded individuals (politics, economic status, religious views, etc.). Do yβall find this to be true? #latenightthoughts π€

βHaving a #chronicillness like #MECFS or #Fibromyalgia means everyday tasks can be challenging, exhausting and painful. But there are steps we can take to make life easier and to conserve our energy for more enjoyable activities.β

I moved about an hr away fr my hometown looking for a new start, but now the #coronavirus has me feeling more isolated. Work is shut down for 2 wks. Iβm worried about $. I miss my friends. Luckily, Iβve kept the #fibro monster at bay. For now. Praying the rest of you are ok ππΌ

I was at the University of Michigan Hospital yesterday. I noticed that there were many, large screens that boldly stated: "Long-term Opioid Use for Pain Does Not equal Addiction, Dependence is NOT Addiction and also that there are Legitimate Uses for Strong Opioid Meds."

Iβm definitely with you on this one, Jamison. Netflixβs portrayal of #chronicillness & #invisibleillness in the show #Afflicted was one-sided at best; propagandist & stigmatizing at worst. @NotTheWhiskey

Anyone else panic at the thought of having a procedure done & not receiving #painrelief afterward? I have 2 go 2 the dentist & I'm almost certain he'll want to do a deep cleaning or scaling procedure since I haven't seen one in awhile. I fully expect my pain level will be amped.

The actual number of addicted people per capita is the same today in the U.S., Canada and the UK as it was in 1920.

.@mercari_app Is there a way for me to contact someone either by phone or email to download the return request form? I canβt find it anywhere on the app or website. Is there a Buyer Support contact?

Yβall, Iβm a law-abiding citizen, but Iβm seriously considering smoking pot just to alleviate pain during flares.
Does anyone know how much/how long the pain relief lasts if it is smoked? Depends on individual amt? Person? Obvi I'm ignorant on this subject #ChronicForChronic

βIβm not OK. But I canβt just say that. Because the truth is ugly and uncomfortable. If I actually said how I was, they would squirm from the awful reality of my #chronicillness.β 'How Am I? Fine'β& Other Lies I Tell Because of My Health buff.ly/2XUjmNS #chronicpain #cpp
