It's clear now I am in a huge flare and crash. One week down. Hopefully not much more to go. The hospital on Monday will be interesting. "Fibromyalgia HURTS Yeah... it really does. It's not just a little ache- it's a deep, nagging, burning, stabbing, exhausting hurt. Sometimes it's your muscles. Sometimes it's your joints. Sometimes it feels like it's your whole body and your soul. It doesn't go away just because you smile through it. You're not imagining it. You're not overreacting. You're just fighting a battle that people can't see. You're not alone." Credit Cindy ❤️ ©FibroColors #FibromyalgiaAwareness #MySeveralWorlds #TeamFibro #SupportFibro #FibroNerds

2. ❓Did you know that doctors love when patients track what is happening with their health?

❓One question new patients ask me is how to track most efficiently.

Sometimes it's as simple as adding an emoji to your Google calendar.

Today is a high pain today so I'm offering some #WarriorWords and simple #SelfCare tips. "When I get 'snakes in my brain', I know my #fibromyalgia is going bonkers. It literally sounds like hissing snakes and I actually put snake emojis." 🐍 Credit: Carrie, MySeveralWorlds ❓Did you know that doctors love when patients track what is happening with their health? ❓One major question that new patients always ask me is how to track most efficiently. ❗Sometimes it's as simple as adding an emoji to your Google calendar. This might seem overly simple but it worked really well for me in Taiwan. My caseworker and doctor could look at my calendar right away and no how many days I've had in a month that were bad or high pain simply because I had emojis on my calendar. Other tracking tools: 1. I have worksheets that are available for free for download for anyone who wants them through my Ko-Fi shop. Link in comments. 2.

Carrie is wearing her support fibro t-shirt. She has shoulder length brown hair and gray eyes.

Chopped my hair off again. (Haven't been to a salon since 2019. It aggravates my fibro.) I'm having a high intensity pain day but you can't see it. I figured it was a great opportunity to remind folks I'm a #fibromyalgia support group leader.

Carrie is in the hospital getting an infusion. AxSpA and PsA have caused more damage to my bones, soft tissues and organs and it's irreversible. But fibromyalgia whips my autoimmune brew up into a horrible frenzy. Every day we pain warriors make a choice to keep on going.
