taking a nice big mug of #whittards white hot chocolate and a good book to bed with me to hopefully help me nod off. the book is The Last Crossing by Brian McGilloway. Has anyone read it? its lookin great so far xx

im struggling big time at the moment. this chronic illness malarky is just so 💩 fatigue is so bad at the minute, i need a nap after only being out of bed long enough to have my breakfast😢sending love to any fellow sufferers. #fibromyalgia #reynauds #arthritis

awww cats are the best. i cant sit down in my house for more than five minutes before one of them (of sometimes both at once) gets up on my lap 😻😻xx

me too 😔 sending u gentle hugs as l try to get comfy in bed for a few hours to try n get a bit respite from the pain. x

you will never see me on my worst days, mainly because i can't even get out of bed but also because i don't want anyone to see how bad it really gets.

im ending the year as i started it, in pain. i know im not alone in this so im sending all my fellow chronic illness warriors lots of very gentle hugs xx

I AM NOT A BAD, WEAK, LAZY OR BROKEN PERSON... I AM A PERSON MANAGING A VERY DIFFICULT AND CHRONIC ILLNESS...FOR WHICH THERE IS NO CURE [illustration of woman with butterfly on her nose]

“You don’t look sick.” Thanks. That’s the goal. But here’s what you don’t see: I cancel plans I desperately want to attend. I rest for hours after a shower. I forget basic words mid-sentence. I grieve a version of myself I barely remember. I fight every day for a body that doesn’t cooperate. It’s not just tired. It’s chronic illness. Share this if you’ve ever been told you ‘don’t look sick.’ [Logo: CFS HEALTH]

I was getting ready to leave work tonite after working 30hrs this week. I never take time off despite havin the worst fatigue ive had in a long time, i have fibromyalgia,arthritis,v bad shoulder pain etc, im 57! a coworker came in just before i left,shes 19 and she was in tears cos she had a cold🤦🏻‍♀️😡

anyone have any good news? or any funny stories to share? im in need of a reason to smile. dont mean to be miserable but im struggling to find the good in things at the minute🥲 xx sending everyone a virtual gentle hug xx pet pics also welcome 😻

thank you so much x

my two besties never leave my side when im feeling ill. they keep me warm and make me feel like im not alone (being the only human in my house) love them so much , Angel & Littley 😻😻xxx

hi,ive never watched any of the traitors series,it doesnt seem like ‘my thing’. hope you are feeling ok. im huddled on the sofa with a fluffy blanket and my2cats. feeling grateful for two days off work to rest as im not doing great atm😔 feeling like i need cat cuddles and a good book x sending hugs

😆😆😆😆so funny x

im so looking forward to #tomdaleyknittingshow on ch4 tonight. I prefer crochet but i love anything yarn related🧶so cant wait to watch! crochet is a hobby, an interest but most of all a distraction from my pain.

hi, i can identify with every single post on this page unfortunately. fibromyalgia and arthritis make my life extremely difficult and every day is a struggle. having people who understand and places to go to find support means everything🥰

i know how that feels. sending a fellow sufferer some gentle hugs x

feeling really low atm😔it’s so hard to stay positive when u have to fight a bloody war against your own body every day of your life
