While I’d like to stay in my bubble, I really want to share so that anyone else going through chronic illness knows they are not alone and all those big feelings are so valid 💗 For the past few months I have been in a lot of pain and progressively losing function of my joints. Starting in my hands and moving into my ankles, ribs, hips and pretty much my whole body now. The inflammation has also impacted my stomach and eyes, and brings on extreme fatigue and flu like symptoms. My doctors have thrown a few possible diagnoses at me, the top being rheumatoid arthritis. The only thing they can confirm is that I have an auto immune disease. I have a month of tests coming up so I’ll keep you posted. Even though it all came on very suddenly, I have experienced a lifetime of immune system issues. Last year things peaked, I reached burnout after years of pushing beyond my capacity. I had no knowledge or understanding of my Neurodivergent brain, my processing and sensory differences. It wore me down. The most challenging part of managing chronic illness has been mindset. In my low moments I struggle with thoughts of a failing body, playing the what if scenario, feeling alone in the pain, and mourning the life I once had. I’m grasping on to any glimmer of hope that I will get better amidst the insufferable agony. While at times I’m not ok, I know I will be. I choose to believe on the other side of this I’ll have a greater understanding of myself and a new me will be born. So for now I’m in slow mode, bed rest with short barefoot beach walks and swims when I can handle it. I’m living simply, low demand, and finding peaceful serenity in nature. I’m loading up on lots of anti-inflammatory, immune modulating nutritional foods and herbs, plenty of therapies, and soaking up so much love, support and cuddles from my family and friends. I’m meditating and breaking through my repetitive thought patterns with peaceful, happy visions of swimming with turtles and watching sunsets 🌅 I’m sending love and hope to anyone going through health issues and gratitude to all the amazing people who stand by them 🙏」8月28日 20時04分
