#pain

8 posts7 participants1 post today

I've decided to start to rotate which of my characters is the "face" of my #FFXIV event guides. So, for Hatching-tide I made it my Au'ra.

I'm about to head back into this game. After doing the dishes and clearing space in the kitchen, then getting error logs to one of my cloud storage providers, my #Fibromyalgia #pain has shot WAY up.

Going to run the event on a different character I think. It's engaging enough but doesn't require brain power, which I need right now.

I'm going to tell you a shocking tale in the hope of gaining some sympathy.
Earlier today I had me a run.
Nothing too strenuous but enough to tire out this timeworn chap.
Had a shower, a bite to eat, a nosey at the news.
Then I went upstairs.
Just 2 minutes quiet sit down on the bed.
Started to nod off . . . .
AAAAAARRGH!!!!
Major muscle cramp, left calf.
Bloody agony. Flailing around I was for nearly 3 minutes.
It's still fluttering now - over an hour later.

Am I just getting old?

😔

Hi All, I don't normally leave it this late to get back on the socials after a Sunday. But my pain levels are terrible.

One of the main reason is that the pharmacy has...three times failed to get the right slow-release medication to us.

I take set doses of pain and muscle-relaxing meds through the day. But I also have slow release ones that work between the doses (which are not effective after 2½-3hrs).

The slow-release one is strong so, currently I'm struggling to ignore the #fibro #pain.

Major #endometriosis study reveals impact of gluten, coffee, dairy & alcohol

“Foods that contain refined sugars, carbohydrates, unhealthy fats, dairy, red and processed meats … can create inflammation in the body. I would advise keeping a food and symptom diary, which will help to identify any food triggers that could be flaring symptoms such as constipation and bloating, which make pain worse.”

The Guardian · RPA hospital closes HIV psychiatry clinic with 200 patients after staff resignationsBy Natasha May

F your "how bad is your #pain on a scale of 1 to 10." I'm working on my own scale from "Not a day-ruiner" to "If you have any enemies, this is what you should wish on them."

“We’ve been conditioned by society that pain is weakness. That being sick is something you can overcome by simply trying harder.”

You can’t “try harder” your way out of disability. It’s not a weakness or a moral failing.

It is one of the only minority groups you can join at any time.

Ableism forces us to hide our suffering. To smile through the pain and deliver a convincing “I’m fine”

My latest looks at what would happen if we stopped hiding, as well as ways you can support the disabled person in your life.

#MurderedbyIsrael
More than 18000 #Palestinian children were murdered during the genocide - one of them was this little girl Reem Al Lolo (4) who was killed in November 2023 during #Israeli attacks on Gaza. The remains of her body are still under the rubble.
