Nothing says “living my best life” quite like organizing your week around which doctor gets to poke you next. #chronicpain #chronicillness #humor #advocasy #depression

I love being told to “reduce stress.” Excellent. Which bill would you like to pay? #chronicpain #chronicillness #depression

Nobody tells you how much grief there is in chronic illness for things that technically still exist: your body, your independence, your plans, your old routines, even your idea of who you thought you’d be. It’s a strange kind of mourning because there was never a funeral.

There should be frequent-flyer miles for medical appointments. At the very least, I should have earned a free MRI by now! 😂
