Learning to say no was one of the hardest things chronic illness taught me. But it was also one of the most freeing. Protecting your energy isn't selfish, it's survival.

“No one took me seriously when I was in pain in my early 20s… I’d push through every week and then collapse—unable to move… #ChronicPain is so debilitating… Pain dictates when I wash my hair, whether I eat… whether I can even get out of bed.” https://buff.ly/jYUWWQn #InvisibleIllness #spoonie
Some days the hardest part is explaining to people why you look fine but feel terrible. You're not making it up. Your symptoms are real, your fatigue is real, and you deserve support.
Started writing down my energy levels throughout the day. Turns out I have about a 3-hour window of good energy. Now I plan my most important tasks during that window. Small insight, big difference.

Started having to wear a soft wrist support again yesterday, and switched to the harder one for overnight to fully immobilize my wrist. Back to the soft brace for the day so there's support but I can type.
This is a semi-regular thing for me, but still annoying.

If your doctor ever tells you it's all in your head, find a new doctor. Your symptoms matter. Your experience matters. Keep advocating for yourself.

My fingers/hands have continued to have pain and tingling. Now it’s up in my arm. Whats wrong with me? I thought it was from being on my phone too much (that did cause it a few years ago) but it’s worse now. I’m worried. #chronicpain #spoonie

Three things that helped me manage flares better: 1) Identifying my personal triggers 2) Planning rest days in advance 3) Accepting that some days just won't go as planned
Building patience during setbacks promotes peace. How do you stay patient with yourself? #Spoonie
