What you cant tell by looking at me: I am in pain almost all the time, my body hurts everyday. I am always fatigued, sometimes to the point that I can barely lift my arms. Brushing my hair hurts, as does shaving my armpits at times. Blow drying my hair? Out of the question. Some days I wish I could just have my arms in slings all day, because resting them on my chest or stomach while I lie down does not help for some reason, so I often hang my arms in my hoodie pocket to get a small amount of relief. I have tried every type of medication, diet changes, meditation, massage, and chiropractors. Please dont assume because you cant see it that it isnt real. Just because Im not on crutches or walk with a cane doesnt mean it does not hurt. I push myself through a couple hours of hard work for different reasons, but do not be fooled, even this is a struggle. I am not capable of working a full eight hour day, my body would hurt so incredibly bad that I would not be able to get out of bed for a day or two. At least. And this isnt even getting into all the other symptoms that I struggle with every single day. Memory loss, balance problems, bladder pain, IBS, numbness, tingling pain, etc. Add some pain and fatigue and its not fun. Ive been so tired at times that I was physically incapable of even sitting up- even when reclined. Please dont make fun or assume because you cant see it that its not real. I used to work 3 jobs and 16 hour days plus sleepovers with DD clients on top of that, I considered myself a workaholic. And I assure you, it is very real. I am not lazy, I am in pain.
