Learning from our pain: an extremely hard thing to do, but absolutely necessary if we are to improve our own lives!

Tourists throw over €1 million into Italy's Trevi Fountain each year.

“Often with #chronicillness we’re forced to do nothing as our health limits us—particularly in a flare. What if we gave ourselves permission to do nothing? Sometimes #selfcare with illness is letting go of the guilt we feel when we’re unable to do things.” buff.ly/49Ok7cd

When the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, the last river poisoned, only then will we realize that one cannot eat money. #IndigenousPeoplesDay2020

@GordyRath :(

Dropped my iPad and smashed the hell out of it, it's like saying goodbye to your only friend, and 400 bucks. 😖😩😒

@GordyRath Hope u have a low pain day!

51 degrees sunny no wind, heaven. ✌️

@JamesConlon_ Hello :)

Say hi if you see this 👋🏻

My body during the summer: heat intolerant Me: excited for fall to get a break before the cold intolerance of winter Me during fall: cold intolerant 🤦🏻‍♀️

For 1st time in Medicine the experiment by CDC the forced limitation of pain medicine has failed miserably w great pain & even death. Imagine being in so much pain rather than just getting a prescription for a medicine that takes your pain away you have to take your life away

My first “quick #collage” attempt. Instead of spending ages choosing #ephemera and ultimately being distracted from finishing, I used a pack :) . #handcutcollage #abstractart #collageart #surreal #collage #artfortherapy

@chele8367 Yes I know! It often feels like the answer, but I think of the lives I will destroy. Hope today is a low pain day xx

@chele8367 I feel you, but please try another day xx

If you could only choose one activity today, which would you choose?: A. Household chores B. Something you've wanted to do for a while This is the decision chronically ill folks make daily, because doing both could put us in the ER. This is why our homes are generally messy.

If you’re still wearing a mask, washing your hands, and staying away from people, please share this because sometimes people try to make me feel like I’m overreacting.

Interested in taking part?

@FibroGirl3 I went raw veg for a month followed by vegetarian for another month. I had stomach issues but muscles definitely felt slightly better!

Has anyone tried a fibromyalgia diet to help ease their symptoms? If so which one and did it work/help??? X

New symptoms, more doctors, different opinions & unanswered questions. Yep, just another typical week #chronicpain #Spoonies
