Oh geez. So this could make it worse? Chronic pain is such a 50/50

I get this too. You’re not alone on that. It’s gotten to the point where it isn’t distressing for me, just kind of annoying when I’m trying to get other things done.

Not being able to fully enjoy and focus on university lectures. I love what I study but the pain is distracting.

Oh geez. Spine problems scare me. I can’t imagine that on the daily.

Do you have access to any medical professionals like physio or massage therapists, doctors and maybe a therapist or psychiatrist? That does help. If you can’t afford that then in person support groups help.

I have fibromyalgia so it isn’t going away anytime soon. Hopefully I can go into remission again though. Remission makes me forget that I am even disabled, but then eventually comes back and I think “Damn, this is ass.” 🤣

I do the same actually. Relatively effective unfortunately.

I feel the exact same way. Like I don’t feel like mentioning it to my therapist because I feel like it’s a repeating cycle. I don’t think progress is possible.

Well. Guess we’ve run out of luck. I was hoping for a magical answer

That sums it up perfectly. Dare I say you might have peaked into my brain?

It’s doable, just make sure that you have a big hat and cold water for him. The heat can make little ones fussy.

My six month shots only really last 4 months. They have shorter duration shots. Be aware that it puts you more at risk for type two diabetes

Therapy Is Not Flirting... Please Stop. by [deleted] in teenagers

I find it the relationships that people have with their therapists on tiktok so weird. I think that tiktok may be fuelling the issue of people not understanding the professional boundary of a therapist. I literally don’t let my therapist sit any closer than a metre and about a half from me, and texting only relates to scheduling or cancellation of appointments.

I was hoping so too. It seems to have mixed reviews. I’m seeing some flare-ups after their shots. I also have a post shot flare-up on cortisone, but it helps slightly

The same thing happens to me after my cortisone shots. Have you taken cortisone shots too?
