don’t forget anxiety!!

Everyone who knows me knows someone with lupus, fibro, and chronic fatigue. If you don’t know anyone else with an invisible illness, you know me.

My mother suffers Arthritis, Depression, and probably a few others. Asthma is an invisible illness, which I suffer. It may not be painful, but the coughing and shortness of breath can be terrifying to live with. I also likely have some form of Depression. My best friend has RSD(which is sorta like fibromyalgia, but not), and is Bi Polar.

My best friend has issues with back pain that no treatment or pain meds has helped her with. She’s been to several doctors and they have all told her that there is nothing wrong with her but they haven’t sat with her while she cried from all the pain she felt. She’s come close to being addicted to the codeine that they gave her so she stopped taking them, has had her nerves burnt and has gone through various physical therapy. So far nothing has helped her.

OYD and my other internet friends who suffer from fibro I love you! My mother suffered arthritis all her young adult life. My husband suffers from migraines, one of my best friends from chronic depression.

I love you all.

arthritis.

———

Yup.

Endometriosis, PCOS, PMDD, arthritis, degenerative disc disease, obstructive sleep apnea, migraines, asthma, IBS, metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure, peptic ulcers and severe GERD, tendinitis, panic disorder, anxiety, and depression among them.

My heart goes out to anyone who’s ever heard the phrase, “But you don’t look sick!” And my ears are always open to anyone who needs to vent about it.

Type 1 diabetes, anxiety, Ménière’s, back and hip issues (if I wasn’t lucky enough to have access to a good chiropractor, I’d probably have had to have surgery by now).

I’m lucky in than no one has ever pulled the “At least you don’t have cancer” thing in regards to my diabetes, but if they ever did I would inform then that, actually, diabetes and its complications results in more deaths per year than the combined numbers for breast cancer and AIDs. And no, some complications you can’t prevent by taking care of yourself, because you can do everything right and still have your body turn against you. Control isn’t a magic wand, and insulin isn’t a cure.
