From people who came through it
“I was right where you are two years ago. I remember when a heat pad that never leaves the sofa, like it was yesterday. Yesterday I booked a holiday. It doesn't stay this heavy. Be gentle with yourself.”
kind_dusk · been through chronic pain“Nearly four years ago I was exactly where you are. Canceling plans for the third time, every single day. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. You're not on your own.”
lemonbird1994 · been through chronic pain“When doctors say the scans are normal and you still hurt, it's easy to doubt yourself. Don't. Pain is real even when it doesn't show up on a screen. Find one person who believes you, and hold onto the good weeks. I still have bad ones, but I've learned to plan around them. You will too. And if you can, get a buddy. Someone who gets it without you having to explain.”
Bright Bus · been through chronic pain“This time last year I was exactly where you are. Back then it was fibromyalgia flare after a busy weekend. These days I mostly feel like me. You get yourself back in pieces.”
