I was hospitalized twice mid December into early January with a week between hospitalizations because I had a gastroparesis and cyclic vomiting syndrome flare. When this happens I can't stop vomiting and can't eat or drink anything. Nothing helps other than being hospitalized and sedated for about a week so im not throwing up. I hadn't had an attack since 2019, but had run out of crucial medication so wound up having another attack. #gastroparesis #gastroparesissucks #gastroparesisawareness #gastroparesiswarrior #cylicvomiting #cylicvomitingsyndrome #vomiting #chronicnausea #chronicillnesswarrior #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillnesslife #chronicillnesscommunity #chronicillnessandme #chronicillnessproblems #chronicillnesswarriors #chronicillnessfighter #chronicallyill #chronicallysick #hospitalized #hospitalization #chronicallyillartist #chronicallyillwarrior #illness #invisibleillnesses #illnesssucks #livingwithchronicillness #livingwithgastroparesis #livingwithillness (at Waukesha, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/amberanndesigns/p/CYzPAk-rQHT/?utm_medium=tumblr

A conversation with myself

Me: Am I going to puke or shit?

Me: ...

Me:.....

Me:...............,.,.

Me: Well, I'm sweating. So that clears nothing up.

Society: Your kids don't need a perfect mom, they need a happy and healthy mom.

Also society to a chronic pain patient mother: You're a lazy worthless mother for not having a job, the house clean 24/7, the laundry done, and an organic homemade cooked meal every day. You just need to exercise and eat better, and you wouldn't feel so crappy.

ABOUT ME

So this is my first post, so a bit about me I am a mum to a beautiful 2 year old, it's the most amazing feeling in the world however one of the hardest. I am disabled, I have up and down days, days I can make it outside, days I am stuck in bed, days where I make it out of bed but only to the sofa! Its so hard trying to explain to a 2 year old that mummy cant do the things that daddy does with him ect. His daddy (my husband) is also my carer and is amazing although he has his moments! I was told to start a blog about how I cope, what I do, struggles etc to try and help myself deal with it and to try and help others if I can.

Thank you for reading 😘

I wouldn’t normally make something like this for myself, but I’m out of money, can’t work, and have many more medical treatments coming down the line. Please consider donating. I’ve exhausted all my options.

Whatever makes you happy

Sometimes it’s really important to find what makes you happy. Self care is really important but not everyone’s into colouring in and taking walks. For me it’s spending time with my mums dog/my family dog. It makes me feel happy and most of the time he’s quite chilled so it’s nice to just sit next to him.

I am strong.. But I break and I reach and I pull myself back together, masking the indelible with empty smiles, to make myself ready to break.. unfailingly, all over again. #chronicallysick #brokendoll 🖤 This was taken at the #SGLAshootfest2018 and I’ve been so sick and dealing with everything that I forgot to post it. So here it is, and I hope you have a good and safe week, my sweet Cats and Bats!💋 🖤 🚨📌❤️My copays and prescriptions are super expensive and anything helps, so if you want to be my own personal hero, my Venmo is @arsenicstar and I would literally appreciate anything you can donate..❤️📌🚨#cancersucks 🖤 “Swimming in a sea of linens I belong to the night Like flowers elements There's curious angels Pathways of green shone Down across themed spacial Oh, well I break among time Who like the most of your language Dreamed that I was The brother I know And know that the world over It will cave.. Oh, drown pulled out it won't air Look down into the fire We'll escape a bouquet Now that the body threw you It didn't need it Surrounded by so many fools Fast dash for freedom.”-@thesoundofanimalsfighting (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqqbqdaFqnB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v4zsd9x2437b

Being chronically ill in the USA means that you always know the exact value of your life - as decided by the big pharma companies who decide what it's going to cost for you to keep living.

IBS

It’s been awhile since I’ve updated. I guess I wanted to believe that I didn’t have IBS and going back to regular food would be fine. A few months back I started to not care and thought I would have to deal with minor pain if I ate (it did for a little). Well this week brought me way back into reality. I was in such sever pain that anytime I ate it would come back up. I started to get really weak so I went to my doctors. He did an assessment and yes, I ended right back into the hospital. I think I’m finally realizing that no matter what I do or think this is a CHRONIC illness and it won’t go away. Well back to writing everything down and avoiding a ton of food...

My body can be touched and caressed easily but reachin my mind, my soul, my heart? Thats the task and it isnt an easy one at alllll #tooroughforlove #whatslove #mindbodysoul #cantbreakthewalldown #rough #itsdeeperthanyouthink #itisntaneasytask #chronicallyill #chronicallysick https://www.instagram.com/p/BparadHnU9x/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10hgm7ju6vhk7

just a reminder that nobody has the right to information about your body, not cis people or abled people or anyone else. you can tell them its none of their fucking business

When you have an undiagnosed digestive issue... 🤣

hey so my eyesight gets perpetually worse, it hasn't even been a year and i need new glasses again apparently because i have trouble reading subtitles, and my glasses are already -6.25 or -6.5 idk. i'm 25 and don't think they should be getting worse this rapidly anymore, i actually think it has accelerated in the last years compared to my teenage years. and at least twice so far one eye has gotten worse in a sort of seizure where i got very bad headaches and pain behind the eye and tunnel vision, and then it suddenly got worse and didn't get better again. basically i should see an eye doctor but i can't currently so i'm wondering if anyone from the chronic illness community has the same/similar problems and any idea what the fuck might be going on. thanks so much!
