Eczema
My eczema has calmed down since I’ve been using this new ointment. But my dyshidrotic eczema is really irritating me right now and I can’t stand it. It can get very itchy and then I’m left with even more painful fingers. Not to mention how ugly it looks! Ahh pooey!
"Do Your Ears Hang Low" for the Chronically Ill
lupinelady:
Do your knee joints swell?
Do they throb and burn like hell?
Are your muscles all in knots?
Are you ill, but friends can’t tell?
Can you barely move your shoulders
And though you’re sick, still on you soldier?
Do your
knee
joints
swell.
Any verses to add?

Yes, I do enjoy taking numerous pills I don’t need and paying for them. I love getting shots for my imaginary pain. I love paying to see my doctor often for fun. I must be a great actress in order to fool three doctors into my diagnosis. I love never leaving my bed and canceling plans on my…

I’ve just come to the realization that I can’t remember the person I was before I got sick. For better and for worse, that person is gone.

make me so jealous of my friends. i want to be out at the clubs, dancing, drinking, meeting people. not cooped up, laying in bed, with my best friends - my heating pad and my picc line. i know somewhere down the line this will all be behind me, but i want it to be now. i feel like my youth is…
adventuresunderground asked: Also. If you ever want to talk- I'm here.
adventuresunderground asked: I understand what you are going through, and I know that it is difficult. I have had fibromyalgia since I was twelve. I am eighteen, now. I live in constant fear that I will never find someone who will understand what I am going through, and love and support me, fully. Thankfully I have found someone who understands my situation. He has RS, along with a few other conditions. We are kind of broken,...
Sometimes, it’s like being trapped in your body....
An actual conversation I overheard at the "adult"...
Woman 1: Hey, [Woman 2's name], how has it been going with [Woman 2's husband]?
Woman 2: Well, it's been interesting. He has been getting rough lately- you know, the drinking- and it's really been hard on me, with the job and the kids, but I think he'll turn around. I'm helping him.
Woman 1: That's great! Is he...you know...hurting you anymore?
Woman 2: Well, he hit me yesterday *shows her arm*, but he's getting better than what he used to do. My daughter told me that I didn't have to deal with it, but honestly- I don't know if you believe in this, some people don't-I think I've been sent by God to help him.
Woman 1: No no, I completely agree!
-every other adult at the table agrees-
Woman 2: Yeah, I really believe it's part of God's plan that I'm helping [husband's name] get better. I like to think I'm doing God's will, because there's a purpose to everything.
-every other adult agrees again, saying encouraging words-
Me: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE AND WHAT GOES ON IN YOUR BRAINS
Steve: NO! This is NOT GOD'S FREAKIN' PLAN! Damnit NO! -_-

A short rant on my experience with...
I was in a relationship when I became ill. I didn’t know what was happening to me. My life abruptly changed. I didn’t know how to handle it, as neither did my boyfriend at the time. We were extremely young. We had to call it quits, as we knew, we were far too young and he had no understanding on the journey I was going through.
It has been 2 years since we broke up. And I promised...
