Living life with a chronic illness is hard but it definitely taught me how to prioritize my needs and take care of myself better than I ever have before. 🩵 #chronicpain #ehlersdanlossyndrome #chronicillness #chronicfatigue #invisibleillness #chronicillnessawareness #DysautonomiaAwareness #DisabilityAwareness

Here is your reminder that you truly can never tell what someone is going through just by their appearance 🤍 Someone could be dressed up, smiling and appear like they have everything made but be dealing with something incredibly difficult behind what you see on the outside 🙌🏼 Always be kind to others, you never know what kind of battle they are facing everyday. 🫱🏼🫲🏽 #chronicillness #chronicpain #chronicfatigue #ChronicPainAwareness #disabilityawareness #fibromyalgia #ChronicMigraine #ehlersdanlossyndrome #DysautonomiaAwareness
A diagnosis is not just a diagnosis. A diagnosis gives us answers for why we feel the way we do. A diagnosis gives us validation and understanding. A diagnosis helps us prove what we are feeling is not all in our heads. A diagnosis gives us the capability of receiving accurate and effective treatment. A diagnosis can be what turns daily tears into daily smiles. A diagnosis can possibly be the start of a whole new life. Without a diagnosis, we have so many unanswered questions and it becomes exhausting. Without a diagnosis, it leaves us feeling unvalidated. A diagnosis is everything to someone with a chronic illness. 🙌🏻 #ChronicIllness #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillnesswarrior #chronicpainawareness #chronicpain #chronicfatigue #ehlersdanlossyndrome #ehlersdanlossyndromeawareness
If a doctor ever says this to you… RUN!! 🚩If you go to a doctor and they blow you off, here is your reminder that it is completely okay to break up with a toxic doctor. 🚮 #chronicillness #chronicillnessawareness #DysautonomiaAwarenessMonth #ehlersdanlossyndrome #invisibleillness #invisibleillnessawareness #comedyreels
As someone diagnosed with multiple chronic illnesses, I never thought I would find someone so patient, and someone who loves me for me despite me being “different”. My chronic illnesses used to make me feel undeserving of love and made me feel like I would always be too much of a liability and too complicated for someone to want to walk through life with me. But you are so much more deserving than you think you are. You are just as deserving of love as anyone else. I found the person I never thought I would find. I found the person that makes me feel loved the way I never thought I would. Your chronic illness makes you who you are, it doesn’t make you any less than anyone else. Love is possible even when you are disabled or chronically ill. My hope for you is that you never give up on finding your person and I hope your person makes you feel like your “flaws” don’t exist and loves you for you. We ALL are deserving of love. 🤍#chronicillness #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillnesswarrior #chronicillnesscommunity #chronicillnessadvocate #chronicillnessfighter #chronicillnesslife #dysautonomia #dysautonomiaawareness #potssyndrome #mastcellactivationsyndrome #mastcellactivationdisorder #fibromyalgia #fibromyalgiaawareness #ehlersdanlossyndrome #ehlersdanlos #gastroparesis #gastroparesisawareness #chronicpain #chronicmigrainewarrior #chronicpainawareness #chronicfatigue #chronicfatigueawareness#fibromyalgiawarrior #crps #edsawarenessmonth #ehlersdanlosawareness #chronicpainawareness
Inside the mind of someone with a chronic illness 🧠❤️🩹 #chronicillness #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillnesswarrior #potssyndrome #ehlersdanlossyndrome #mastcellactivationsyndrome #gastroparesis #disabilityawareness
Grief in chronic illness is so real, and grieving the person you were before your illness is a feeling unlike any other ❤️🩹Grieving and missing yourself is a feeling that not many can relate to, and can be very to explain to others and can be hard for others to understand and emphasize with you about. How can you miss someone that’s still there? They may look like themselves, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t someone else. How can you miss yourself? Sometimes you go through things in your life that change every aspect of your life, and sometimes chronic illness can take away everything you thought your life was going to look like within a second. The stages of grief that come with chronic illness are inevitability difficult, and most can agree that grieving yourself and your “old life” is one of the hardest parts. 🙌🏼 If your struggling with the grief of missing the person your illness took away from you, although you may feel like it, you’re not alone 🩷 #chronicillness #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillnesswarrior #chronicillnesscommunity
Walking through life with a chronic illness is difficult beyond words, and feeling alone in your journey makes it so much harder. I’ve felt it, you even felt it, we have all felt it. 🙌🏼 My goal with this account is not only to spread awareness about certain chronic and rare illnesses, but to help others remember that they are not walking this difficult journey alone & that there is a whole community right by your side 🫱🏼🫲🏽When I was first diagnosed with a chronic illness, I felt like no one understood me and that I was the only one in the world going through it & the number one thing that helped me maintain a more positive mindset and feel less alone is finding advocacy accounts and finding a chronic illness safe space on social media. I hope that my page does the same thing for you,you’re not alone. 🫶🏼 #chronicillness #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillnesswarrior #chronicillnesscommunity #chronicillnessadvocate #chronicpain

My POTS symptoms I thought were “normal” that eventually led up to my diagnosis 💙 My diagnosis story 🥄 Saw my PCP and had an echocardiogram and ECG done that both had some slight abnormalities so I was referred to a cardiologist 🥄 Cardiologist had me do a poor man’s tilt table test, orthostatic readings, and 48 hour heart monitor - results showed periods of SVT’s, tachycardia and bradycardia 🥄 Got diagnosed with IST (irregular sinus tachycardia) and OH (orthostatic hypotension), was put on medications and was referred to Neurology 🥄 Neurology gave me my official Tilt Table Test and results showed autonomic dysfunction 🫶🏼 If you are waiting on a diagnosis, don’t give up hope. For a lot of people, POTS takes awhile to diagnose 🫶🏼 #potssyndrome #potsawareness #pots #posturalorthostatictachycardiasyndrome #dysautonomia #dysautonomiaawareness #dysautonomiawarrior
