"The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it" ~Peter Pan 💚 Everything I believed I could do was quickly replaced with doubts when I was first #diagnosed with #fibromyalgia and #psoriaticarthritis 😥 Those doubts put limitations on what I was willing to try, gave me no reason to find a way to modify what I used to be able to do, and made my life miserable. 😭 Thankfully I overcame those doubts 7 years ago. I replaced them with hopes, dreams, and plans! 👩‍💻 I may not be able to do everything the way I used to, but with careful planning and making modifications, and I can do more than I gave myself credit for. 😍 👉 Share something you used to do before your #diagnosis and how you modified it in order to continue doing it 👇 ❤💙💚💛🧡💜❤💙💚💛🧡💜❤💙💚💛🧡💜❤💙💚💛🧡💜 #spoonie #chronicpain #chronicillness #invisibleillnesses #wellness #painwarrior #pemf #peterpan #quotestoliveby #icanfly #motivation #fridaythoughts #autoimmunearthritis #autoimmunedisease #arthritis #disneyquotes #dailygram #quoteoftheday #fiftyandfabulous #blogger #truestory #disneylife

So much has changed since my #diagnosis of #fibromyalgia in 2003. When diagnosed, I had never heard of this #chronicillness . I didn't know anyone else who had it, nor did I understand the importance of finding support from others who were also living with #chronicpain . There have been times when I wanted to give up. Instead, I screamed, I cried, and I fought to improve my life and decrease my #pain. This wretched #disease has cost me a lot. The price paid goes beyond the cost of #healthcare . If you haven't already, read my #blogpost "The Cost of Living with Fibromyalgia" to find out what I wish I would have known when first diagnosed. Link is in bio. After you read it, come back and share which of the "costs" I talk about caught you off guard. 👇 ♿🙋‍♀️👟♿🙋‍♀️👟♿🙋‍♀️👟♿🙋‍♀️👟♿🙋‍♀️👟♿🙋‍♀️👟♿🙋‍♀️👟♿🙋‍♀️👟 #spoonie #fibrowarrior #painwarrior #pemf #rollator #transportchair #mobility #disneyland #chronicillnessblogger #california #fiftyandfabulous #lifestyle #mylife #chroniclife #spoonielife #disneydiva #fibromyalgiaawareness #fibrosucks

Fine. Otherwise known as #codeword for "I feel like $h!t but I don't want to worry you or talk about it. 😧 The downside to this answer is that no one really knows how we are feeling. 😥 I'm in no way suggesting that we give everyone who asks a full medical report or psych evaluation, but we need to be able to communicate our physical/mental struggles of living with our illnesses to those closest to us, especially our spouse/partner. They can't help if we don't share. They'll never understand if we pretend we're okay. 🤔 There are times when responding with #imfine is acceptable, just make sure you aren't using it to avoid sharing your pain with your spouse/partner. 🛑🤔🛑🤔🛑🤔🛑🤔🛑🤔🛑🤔🛑🤔🛑🤔🛑🤔🛑🤔🛑🤔🛑🤔🛑🤔🛑🤔🛑🤔🛑🤔🛑🤔🛑🤔 #spoonie #chronicpain #chronicillness #invisibleillnesses #wellness #painwarrior #mentalhealth #selfcare #depression #fibromyalgia #psoriaticarthritis #rheumatoidarthritis #arthritis #chroniclife #spoonielife #tuesdaytruth #tuesdaythoughts #notokay #health #instahealth #instameme #chronicmeme #fibrowarrior

We had an out of this world adventure with friends at #galaxyedge over the #weekend 🛸 My new #rollator combo made it possible for me to #walk when I wanted to and be pushed when my knee needed to rest. As expected, visiting #disneyland with an #injury depleted my energy and my body demanded two recovery days. I have another big day planned for the upcoming weekend and have scheduled the two days following for recuperating. Whether you have an injury, #fibromyalgia #psoriaticarthritis or another #chronicillness , be good to your body by scheduling time to rest and recover from an outing. 👉👉👉 What did you do over the weekend? How did your body react and did you allow for recovery time? 👇👇👇 🛸♿🛸♿🛸♿🛸♿🛸♿🛸♿🛸♿🛸♿🛸♿🛸♿🛸♿🛸♿ #mobility #spoonie #chronicpain #selfcare #wellness #painwarrior #pemf #kneeinjury #millenniumfalcon #starwars #mondaythoughts #weekendwarrior #tornmeniscus #tornligament #mondayblues
