These stabbing pains though? I want to have one day where I can move freely without repercussions later.
One day that does not include stabbing pains in my intimate areas
Yes one day when sans pelvic pressure and fullness
At this moment I want to snuggle and cuddle
But the pain? Sigh
At least my appointment tomorrow is canceled. The weather is going to be ugly, and my neighbors are arguing again, Patches nosey butt is sitting by the door and I just want to yell shut the fuck up at them. I’m a really mean person lately
Chronic pain sufferers often have anomic aphasia - times when they can’t remember certain words or use the wrong word while speaking.
I have this, and it’s damn frustrating.
I can express myself perfectly in writing, but ask me where my car is and I might…
chronic illnesses are like being stuck playing hard mode but you don’t actually know what any of the buttons do and there is a reasonable possibility you are holding the wrong controller altogether

Remember WEGO Health, the group who organized the Health Activist Writers Month Challenge Back in April? They are providing an opportunity for patients and caregivers to weigh in on short surveys and questions on the topics that matter most to us.
It’s called WEGO Health On Call, a mobile based research program that you can participate in through your phone. The surveys generally take about 5-10 minutes to complete and in return for your participation, you either get an Amazon gift card or a donation to charity.
I did a survey just the other day about migraines. You can indicate any topic in which you might be interested. I thought it was a quick and easy way of letting my opinion be heard, and I appreciate WEGO giving us the opportunity to connect directly with these researchers.
Just wanted to spread the word in case any of you might be interested! You can sign up at the link above!

"Hey! I wrote something great! Why didn’t she reblog it!?" Fear not! The queue is long and covers many subjects. If you want to make 100% sure it gets reblogged, send it in as an ask or a submission. Those get published right away. I try to reblog as much as I can but there are a lot of blogs, a lot of subjects, and I can’t be on tumblr everyday so I try to build up a large queue when I have an hour or so to sit down while I’m watching a movie or something. Don’t feel shy about sending stuff in. Nothing is stupid. Unless it’s outright rude nothing is unpublished.
