#SpoonieLife

Ever feel like your body is a rebellious teenager that just won’t listen? Like, ‘Hey, we’ve got a day full of fun planned!’ and your body is like, ‘Nah, I don’t feel like cooperating today.’ And, oh, the joy of endless doctor’s appointments, scans, and tests! If it were a paying job, we’d all be millionaires by now! But hey, let’s keep our heads up and wear our battle scars proudly, right? Do you ever feeling this way? And when the last time your body decided not to cooperate with your plans? - - - #ChronicIllness #MultipleSclerosis #MS #ChronicIllnessSupport #LivingWithChronicIllness #ChronicIllnessAwareness #MultipleSclerosisAwareness #MultipleSclerosisWarrior #ChronicIllnessWarrior #AutoImmuneWarrior #KeepSmyelin #AutoImmuneDiseases #Lupus #Diabetes #Pots #Fibromyalgia #Endometriosis #InvisibleIllness #ThisIsMs #MsConnections #MsSupport #Spoonie #SpoonieSupport #SpoonieLife #MsAdvocate #ChronicIllnessAdvocate #MyMsMoment #ChronicFatigue #ViralReels #MsStrong

Note to self, and to anyone else who needs to hear it. You know who you are. Limiting my exertion - in any form, cognitive, emotional, physical - is antithetical to everything about who I am - or was. I have had to learn an entirely new way of thinking and being and doing. Learning to listen to my body, not my brain. Learning to try less, to stop earlier. Learning as if my life depends on it, because it does. It’s a work in progress. #longcovid #mecfs #pots #covid #spoonielife #healing

I get asked often what I did to help better manage my POTS symptoms. Hope this helps🥰 #pots #spoonielife #potsawareness #potsmanaged #exercisewithpots #potssyndromeawareness #potssyndrome

This story honestly shocked me… and made me feel weirdly validated. As patients, we always feel like we’re the only ones fighting insurance. But @shawntassonemd Dr. Tassone told a story that shows providers are ALSO stuck in the same exhausting maze. He did a surgery, got full insurance authorization, had an auth number… and then a week later the insurance company DENIED the surgery. He called and asked, “Then why did you give me an auth number?” Their answer? “Authorization doesn’t guarantee payment.” …Then what is the point!? Insurance companies literally bank on doctors and patients to just give up. The system is broken for us AND for providers. The real enemy isn’t your doctor… it’s the insurance companies that make everyone’s life harder. Did you know doctors have to fight like this too? I genuinely didn’t. #callinginsickpodcast #chronicillness #spoonielife #autoimmunedisease #invisibleillness

When you have chronic illness (especially POTS MCAS for me!) and you just took a “quick” shower… it’s like😅 👉🏻Why am I sweating like I ran a marathon?? 😵‍💫Why am I dizzy?? 🤯Why do I suddenly need to lie down immediately?? Sometimes it’s not even a hot shower… and I’m still overheated, shaky, exhausted—ending up laying in front of a fan trying to cool down and recover.🫠 👉🏻The things most people don’t think twice about can take everything out of us. If you know, you know. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 ❓What are showers like for you? Anyone else have to recover after? 🌟Comment “support” for my cancer chronic illness emotional support guide 🫂 #chronicillness #pots #spoonielife #invisibleillness #youarenotalone

Not all meltdowns are bad. Some are very cathartic and healing for me, albeit exhausting, and help me process the "emotional congestion" I always feel. #audhd #neurodivergent #actuallyautistic #neurodivergentminds #meltdown #invisibledisabilities #spoonielife

Fat is your friend. Full fat Friday! My work load has gone sky high lately, so I need to be on point and one thing that I don’t miss is my MCT shot in my coffee. I have tried MCT oils in the past and I found them super harsh on my tummy. Not an issue with @hunterandgatheruk MCT oil. It’s organic and I’ve handled it much better 🙌🏻 As a busy Mummy who MUST be peri-menopausal by now (I’m 49), I can’t stress enough how beneficial MCT oil has been for me. It’s a versatile and convenient addition to my diet that keeps me feeling energized and focused throughout the day. You don’t get a down from it like you do from yet another coffee or yet another dose of sugar… It’s a clear minded energy if that makes sense. 🧠 Link in the bio 💪🏼 Or use code LIBERTYM at checkout for your discount too. On that note I’m off to a “Come Dine with Me” at my daughters primary school. Wish me luck 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ #Ad #huntergathermct #chronicillness #chronicpain #anxiety #chronicfatigue #fibromyalgia #invisibleillness #fatigue #brainhealth #mentalhealth #autoimmunedisease #health #spoonielife #chronicfatiguesyndrome #brain #depression #menopause #ibs #wellness #chronicillnesswarrior #autoimmune #perimenopause #insomnia #guthealth #focus #chronicallyill #butyoudontlooksick #chronicpainwarrior #brainfood

Living with a chronic illness means the holidays require a different kind of planning. @taylorcoffmanmade shares how she balances rest and connection so she can protect her energy while making space for joy.
