Fun fact: Fridays and the number 13 were both connected to the sacred feminine. There are 13 moons in a year, both the lunar object and the biological woman's cycles. Friday comes from Frig's or Freya's day, Norse goddesses that embody the sacred feminine, love, fertility, creation etc.

Alright #Congress, message received loud and clear. I should've let the cancer take me so I didn't end up as a burden on my family and the taxpayers. It's my own moral failings that led to my #ChronicIllness. I'll go find the next iceberg and chip off ##BBBbullshit #medicaid

I'm not sure if this is an #EhlersDanlos thing or just my dumb luck, but the broken tip of my fibula is still over 2mm from the rest of the bone with no calcification. The shape and size make pins impossible. It's been 9 weeks. Yes, I'm in #ChronicPain #eds #chronicillness

And there it is. I've officially reached the point of medical gaslighting and neglect where I have to do it myself. Life with #chronicillness - doctors give up when your recovery is outside the norm. My fibula is still in 2 pieces, no sign of healing. Just another addition to my #chronicpain

Things are getting pretty ugly in my rural community. People feel emboldened to say gross stuff with their whole chest, so I'm going to give them the exposure they want. I won't hide their identity, either. They say it, they own it. Just follow the tags for more #RuralFB #resist #CallThemOut

Reality as a chronically ill woman in America: every single visit turns into a fight to be heard. I was sent home from the ER with a broken ankle (fibula tip broken off) wrapped in a half-cast. Never once offered anything for pain. My husband got pain pills and lidocaine for a broken rib. 1/?

I spent the past two days at a diversity conference. This is difficult, but important work in rural communities. We were able to make connections and find new avenues of support. Then I spent the evenings fact checking all the maga puppets on local FB pages, because a girl has to have fun, too.

What's everyone's favorite deck? Tarot, Oracle, whatever. I realize this is a broad topic so how about we focus on the artwork for today. I want all the decks and can't have them, so I want to live vicariously through others. #tarotsky #witchsky #tarot #art

#Chronicpain is often life-altering. Online spaces help people find community and learn self-advocacy, but we need more My pain level was an 8 at the ER with a broken ankle. They told me to take ibuprofen when I got home. I told them it makes me sick and they shrugged. My pain was never addressed.

I'm really struggling to focus through the pain. So far, no good. I pulled who-knows-how-many muscles when I fell, my hip is slipping in and out of place, and now my #sciatica is acting up on top of my broken ankle. 0/10 - do not recommend #chronicpain #chronicillness #ehlersdanlos

Third ER trip of the year in the books. #EhlersDanlos couldn't save me from a break this time. I was calm and collected with my pain at 8 thanks to #chronicpain Now I'm home waiting to see if I get a hard cast, walking cast, or surgery.

I found this in the wild and wanted to share it here. It breaks down the separate symptoms of #POTS, #MCAS, and #EDS and how they overlap. I have every single symptom on here, yet it took me over a decade to get diagnosed with just one of these. #chronicillness
A Venn diagram. The four corners say Fatigue, Lightheaded, Pain, and Nausea. 

The three main circles are POTS (dizziness, blurred vision, and a spinning sensation fast heart rate), hEDS (skin hypermobility, fragile tissues, hernias, susceptibility to bruising, and discomfort) and MCAS (flushing, pruritus, urticaria, angioedema, nasal congestion, nasal pruritus, wheezing, throat swelling, ocular itching, dermographism)

Not only that, but now I have #chronicillness and #chronicpain that requires prescriptions to make me functional. I will be bed-bound without them. #ehlersdanlos is barely covered as is. Our #rural hospitals will close without #Medicaid, so we'd have to drive 3 hours through mountains for basics.

Woke up with hip pain between a 6-7 on the pain scale. As my lovely spouse likes to say, my hips don't lie. Now I need to decide if this is a muscle relaxer pain, or a gummy pain. Either way, it's going to be a "melt into the couch" day. #chronicpain #chronicillness #eds #ehlersdanlos
