The Surprising Thing About Chronic Pain buff.ly/2Lvfo5n I’ve lived w. #ChronicIllness for 20 years & have gone through flares that are so disabling that I imagine this is what hell feels like. IMO, one cannot deal w. #ChronicPain when they’re defeated mentally.

Sometimes
It takes a lot
to just exist.

Everything we do
Is just so much effort
and
consequences

Remember when you lose your job
due to illness,
It wasn’t who you were,
you were more than that.
