โI was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. Back then it was doctors saying the scans look normal. Now I sleep most nights. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. xโ
โNearly 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.โ
โI am not going to tell you everything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I am not especially strong. Heat pad, podcasts and low expectations got me through the worst flares.โ
โWhen 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.โ
