(Screenshot of my/Todd M. Stein’s recent Facebook post) “I am so beyond tired of being sick. Being chronically ill is living a nightmare. My excruciating to debilitating chronic pain is absolutely terrible and has been flaring a lot lately. My family and I deserve a break. I have other/new-to-me health issues now along with the multiple chronic pain conditions and the subsequent accompanying health problems like obesity, type two diabetes, heart disease, little to no strength or stamina as far as mobility goes, I'm battling so many things that are trying to kill me yet what bothers me the most, of my health things, is the pain. It's triggered everything else and it's ruined/ruining my life. I don't know what else to say right now. I am miserable and I am tired of not only me being miserable but seeing what my health is doing to my family is so very hard. Here's hoping for a better 2026...”

Screenshot of my post on my Facebook page… “Tomorrow/Monday, I will attempt to act well enough - pretending that the nonstop chronic pain and fatigue and weakness and burnout and anxiety and depression and negative self-talk and self-doubt and stress and confusion and everything else that comes with being chronically ill and in excruciating to debilitating chronic pain - so I can get up, get cleaned up and get to my local pain management appointment so we can discuss the same things that have been discussed numerous times before and I can leave the appointment knowing nothing new and having no new concrete plans for achieving true, meaningful pain relief. I’m not being negative. I’m being real. I sure hope tomorrow’s appointment proves this wrong. I would absolutely love to be wrong about this…”
“No Expectations, No Disappointments.”
Scene of a patient and a doctor sitting across from one another at the doctor’s desk talking about pain management…

“Shout-out to disabled people who aren't "inspirational", who are unemployed or stuck with a job they don't like, who didn't do well academically and/or had to drop out of school, who aren't in a position to live and take care of themselves independently even if they would like to, who don't "just get on with things without complaining", whose lives didn't work out in the way they were hoping for, who haven't "overcome" their disability in the way that society tells us we're supposed to. You exist, you're worthwhile and you matter.” (Credit: “Bendy Bunny”)

“Chronic Pain is Like a Car With Four Flat Tires “It's hard to know how to move forward once chronic pain has entered your life. “It helps to think of a person with chronic pain as like a car with four flat tires.”

I wonder what kind of reaction I’d get, if I replied this way on medical questionnaires or to healthcare workers…
Never mind…
I know…
They’d probably drop me as a patient/refuse to see me again.

“One of the most difficult parts about living with chronic illness is how motivated I am and have lots of plans but I am trapped in a body that is constantly fatigued, in pain and in need of rest. Some days I can only do the bare minimum but experience maximum guilt.” (Source: post on) “Fibro Colors Fibromyalgia Awareness” (group on Facebook.)
