Anyone have advice on a good sleep system for camping with hypermobility and fibromyalgia? Five pillows and 2 sleeping pads didn't quite cut it. After two nights, I was hurting!

It's been a while since I did a solid camping trip. Lessons were learned for next time.

More film photography while I wait on my backorder #Fujifilm #XT5 from shop moment. Seven months & counting (is it ever coming?!)
Some photos were shot on a #Nikon #N8008s #filmcamera with #Lomochrome400, & some on a #pentax #IQZoom150SL with #Kodak #Ultramax400 . Can you guess which is which?

To any chronic illness baddies on the fence about buying some theraspecs sunglasses, this is your sign to go for it. I bought my first pair of the sunglasses this year and my goodness they are amazing! I've never felt my eyes and head so relaxed in bright sunshine. And all the colors of nature POP!

I was accidentally glutened during Celiac Awareness month, and now I've got a migraine attack to kick off Migraine Awareness month. I don't think my body can handle any more awareness.

There is a guilty frustration when my chronic illness flare isn't bad enough to cause a lot of pain, but it's heavy with fatigue. I'm too tired to do anything, & well enough to want to do many things. Annoyed I can't do anything & feeling guilty for not appreciating the lesser amount of pain.

I am proud to be able to say I made it out to the protest in spite of my #chronicmigraine and #fibromyalgia. We need to keep funding research for the health and well-being of the #chronicillness community.

Anyone have suggestions for a reputable seller of a Rebel Alliance flag?

Last weekend was full of adventure and exploration. I feel so lucky I was well enough to do so much.

This weekend is a strong reminder that I am chronically ill. If one chooses to adventure with chronic illness, remember to plan rest and recuperation.

Any movie suggestions for a brain fog day?

I've spent my weekend exploring the Redwoods. My heart breaks for the future of our National Parks, and the people that have dedicated their lives to these natural treasures.

The frost was beautiful this morning. Stress and anxiety today are contributing to a migraine attack. Walks in the cold help the head pain and ease the anxiety. #chronicillness #migraine #migrainedisease #spoonie #nature #winteristhebest #frost
