A view of a day of invisible illness It's not a 'poor me' post!! It's to show that not all you see on social media is real.
I wish more people understood...This is me on a daily basis. What I have is not a cold or the flu. I will never get better. A nap won't help. I'm not lazy, I work my business from the bed, the lounge or my office when I feel up to it, but I work. But I do it while tired & much of the time I'm tired to the point of a lethargic state. I'm on meds to try to make it easier to thrive and not merely survive. I don't eat crap. I look after myself. I'm doing all I can.
Many people have said over the years that she's faking it or just have to push through it. I've even had someone say 'I'm sick of all your shit & don't want to see it on social media'. Well sometimes, most times ... I do, I can push through the pain and live my life, but there are days where I can barely move, needing to rest all day. My joints hurt. My body hurts. My gut hurts. My mood varies, I'm not sad, I'm weary. I'm actually a really positive person, the positivity has gotten me through the shit days. I use a positive mindset to offset mood swings and depression. I takes my meds every day and bucket loads of vitamins to help keep me up, but some days, many days... nothing works. Working with ‘Invisible Illnesses’ is a different ball game in life. It’s a fine act of balancing due to constant fatigue and flare up of symptoms when you try to complete tasks that a "normal" person can do.
You see....I have FIBROMYALGIA, early onset OESTEOARTHRITIS, DIVERTICULITIS, SPINCTER OF OODI DISFUNCTION, and BREAST IMPLANT ILLNESS. I have also been diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroiditis, Lupus, Multiple Food Intolerances and Chemical Sensitivities and CRPS however, I'm not sure to believe if all of this is true as they can also be a part of symptomology of the disorders that I already have.
There's many invisible illnesses and AUTOIMMUNE Disorders.
I'm trying to put out awareness and am asking people to be compassionate to others who live as I live, to not forget about your family or a friend who has to cancel plans a lot, not 'cos she's a flake... she's just unwell, she still wants to go out, her body just has other ideas. She gets lonely when you cast her aside due to her condition!
I'm asking that you please honor someone who is a warrior in overcoming Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Endometriosis, Graves Disease, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Scleroderma, Ulcerative Colitis, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, Dermatomyositis, Spincter of Oodi Disfunction, Multiple Food Intolerances and Allergies, Interstitial Cystitis, Crohn's, Sarcoidosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Celiac, PBC, CIDP, Aplastic Anemia, Osteoarthritis, Takayasu's arthritis, Stiff Persons Disease, in fact... any invisible disease.
(P.S. men also can have this, it is not just a women's disorder).
