“I wish people understood that I’m not lazy… And if I do participate in a physical activity I will ‘pay for it’ for days or possibly weeks with additional pain and/or exhaustion… When I say I can’t, I really can’t.” https://buff.ly/3N11Nnl #PainAwarenessMonth #ChronicIllness

Fibromyalgia is known for having more than 200 symptoms! This is why it is known as one of the most painful medical conditions to have. This word cloud is a list of things I experience daily because of fibro.

For #PainAwarenessMonth, we’re highlighting some of the researchers across our School who are advancing our understanding of pain.

Dr David Bulmer studies pain in gastrointestinal diseases and how the gut-brain connection could help improve treatments.

"About 30% of children experience chronic pain.
Pediatric pain is commonly undertreated and overlooked."

It happened to me in ER in Sept despite my pharmacy list.

This is what happened to me on Sept 5th when I forgot my meds at home at 3am and ended up being in ER for 24 hours. For the first five hours I was refused completely despite having my legit pharmacy med list on me with my doctor's name and only needing one tablet. 🤦

There were no referrals. I was told to "wait my turn" 🤷‍♀️ while hemorraging, and triaged as CTAS 3 (urgent) with 10/10 acute pain.

This week for #PainAwarenessMonth, review my summary of the U.S. Pain Foundation's key gaps in research and why they believe that the Advancing Research for Chronic Pain Act can help fill those gaps.

For #ArthritisAwarenessMonth &
#PainAwarenessMonth
Today's graphic is for BASDAI: Bath #AnkylosingSpondylitis Disease Activity Score.

BASDAI defines disease activity in a person with AS. Visit the Spondylitis Association of America to calculate your score.

For #ArthritisAwarenessMonth and #PainAwarenessMonth...

Today's graphic is for BASDAI: Bath #AnkylosingSpondylitis Disease Activity Score with Spondylitis Association of America.

If you're not familiar with this measurement tool, visit their website. I'll pop the link in the comments so you can calculate your BASDAI score.

BASDAI Score Calculator: Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)
Measuring Disease Activity

Please indicate your level of ability with each of the following activities during the past week.

BASDAI defines disease activity in a person with AS.

It consists of six 10cm horizontal VAS to measure, including: 
*fatigue
*spinal pain
*duration of morning stiffness
*severity of morning stiffness
*peripheral joint swelling
*localized tenderness

The scale is from 0 to 10. 

A BASDAI score of >4/10 means your disease is active. Anything above four means your disease is active. 

If you test below four, your disease is considered under control. The higher you score, the worse your disease activity is. 

The goal of BASDAI is to define disease activity in a patient with axSpA. It can be done in two minutes. It’s effective at letting doctors know how active your disease is.

Want to learn about other measurement tools? 

Follow me and the SAA did more info about life with #Spondyloarthritis.

"So, if you wonder why people in chronic pain don’t manage more in our apparently endless supply of free time, this is why. It’s not free time. As soon as we demand too much of it, there’s a bill." themighty.com/topic/chroni...

Pain scales that may be appropriate to most don't capture the experience of many trauma survivors esp those who experience significant dissociation. Evaluating their needs based on normative pain scales can underestimate their need for support & relief.
