@justafrog@StillIRise1963 In my lifetime of seven decades I've learned that it's not possible to gauge someone else's level of pain, and for that reason no-one is in a position to tell another person how to respond to or express pain.
Both emotional and physical pain can be crippling.
I suggest you stop judging others and pay attention to how you live your own life. #chronicPain#ChronicIllness
Positive news for the day: The doctor filled out forms for me to get an accessible parking permit! Fingers crossed that it gets approved. This would be so majorly helpful for me, particularly on high pain days! I don't drive, but sometimes, I get rides places and all the walking can make my pain worse. #ChronicPain#Fibromyalgia
I woke this morning at 4am with a massive #migraine already in progress. Easily an 8 on the (relatively useless) pain scale. If this one had an aura, I slept through it. Ugh.
Got up and took some Tylenol. The pain has moved from acute severe to chronic annoying. Yes, Tylenol. Can't take NSAIDs due to #CKD. No Rx meds for the migraines as they don't occur often enough to meet the criteria. 🤷♀️
My chronic illnesses are having one of those, we're too tired to do anything days. Or more like week. 😂
I just wish it didn't have to mean that my mind takes it upon itself to make me feel bad about not doing enough. 🤔
CBD products have been marketed as a chronic pain reliever in many forms — oils, vapes, creams, gummies, drinks and more. But do they actually work? A recent review of relevant studies published in scientific journals found that evidence does not support the claims. But, the International Association for the Study of Pain said in a statement, "This is not a door closing on the topic."

I haz a new bed as of today, courtesy of friends. Even more than the attractive bedframe, with under-bed storage drawers yet, I treasure the gel-and-memory-foam mattress for promising the ol' CrankyBod<tm> a decent night's sleep for a change. We'll see how sleep goes tonight.

C'est jusqu'au 6 avril,
l'exposition "De la vie au lit",
à Montréal, mais proposant des modalités de retransmissions web,
et il s'agit du travail fondamental de l'excellente commissaire française Sarah Heussaff (qui est actuellement publiée dans le dernier Multitudes).
Je suis profondément heureux de ce travail, il correspond notamment à plein d'échanges entre Sarah et moi, et la continuité de son travail pointu dans les Disability Arts / Arts Handicapés.
C'est tout un pan de la culture handie & malades chroniques qui est étudiée via nos vies alitées puissantes. Nous existons allongé-es.
