#ChronicPain conditions SUCK. I did so little today - Quick shopping at Costco & GFS, ride home, put stuff away, sat on my butt recovering for hours, folded my laundry & put it away. And now my back, hips & feet are done in. #stenosis #sciatica #neuropathy #ErythemaNodosum

Approximately half of people with type 1 or type 2 #diabetes experience #peripheral #neuropathy—weakness, #numbness, and #pain, primarily in the hands and feet.

An interesting adjunct to an ongoing #ChronicPain and #Neuropathy issue I suffer, is that as my hypogastric nerve is also involved in the #Impingement that bouts of nausea are a regular occurrence.
Usually managed easily enough with anti-nausea meds😉
However, last night a bout caught me by surprise and left me retching so bloody hard and long...
That I've pulled a muscle in my neck and currently I'm a passable #Quasimodo impersonator

The #Herbalism Community Is at War With Itself Over Abuse Allegations https://www.vice.com/en/article/m7vnxv/the-herbalism-community-is-at-war-with-itself-over-abuse-allegations #SusunWeed I stumbled across this disturbing piece while doing some sleuthing to find some herbal remedies for #neuropathy. I also noticed parallels with the abuse many grad students and lower level fsculty have suffered from senior faculty in #academia. An intense read. #nsfw #sensitivecontent

The lack of #JoinedUpThinking in #Healthcare in #Ireland can be incredibly frustrating at times.
My #PainSpecialist won't prescribe #NSAID without signoff from my #Endocrinologist
Yet he won't talk directly to my #Endo 🤷‍♀️
Instead it's a letter to my #GP for him to request an opinion from my #Endo, and then write back to him with a view to seeing me again in 6 months.
All whilst I'm creased in pain.
But?
I can have all the Oxy I can swallow🤷‍♀️

@SimplyJennifer I am drinking coffee very slowly. Also I did three days of running around and that activity causes #Neuropathy flare up.

I am awake because the kitty was hungry and she gets what she wants gladly and unfortunately painful #Neuropathy for which there is no cure as it is treatment induced. #diabetic

Whining ahead:

My feet are so painful tonight - burning pain, stabbing pain, tingling pain, you name it, I've got it tonight. Diabetic neuropathy sucks. It especially sucks to know that I basically did this to myself. Sure, heredity plays into it & so do doctors who just don't listen to women, but I can't ignore the fact that I gained about 50 lbs after I quit smoking 8 yrs ago. #TypeIIdiabetes #Obesity #neuropathy #chronicillness

Oopsie daisy. I didn't refill my #Effexor prescription in time and don't have a pill for today. 🙃 Getting ready for brain zaps to start any moment now.

Sending hugs out to anyone with #Neuropathy.

@chizeck I also have #neuropathy so I understand. It's been an adjustment. I also used to live in Portland so I know it well.

Anyway, if you see me at a con and I’m using a cane that means it’s a dodgy walking day. It also means I think I’m Sherlock Holmes, striding along with my stylish and ever-so-dashing cane. Well, striding may be wishful thinking, but hey, I’m a writer. Imagination is a wonderful thing.

I almost died from #alcoholism at the beginning of the pandemic. I lost the ability to walk and over 100 lbs. It was a whole thing.

I can walk now (no running or jumping yet) and I'm fat again. My liver is completely healthy and I honestly have no desire to drink ever again. Nothing like a fuckload of pain and terror to break a habit.

I have severe nerve damage ( #neuropathy ) in my legs and take a million pills a day to stop the nerves from firing.

I'll answer whatever questions ya got.
