I often think of all that I could've done if I didn't get #Fibromyalgia, if I wasn't raped, if I didn't spend years bed-bound...🤔
I'd likely be a doctor.
My family call me 'doctor', because of my health knowledge...😅
I'd be a good doctor...
What future did #ChronicPain steal from you?💜

Just because some fake being sick or lie about assault doesn’t mean the rest of us aren’t telling the truth!
99% of survivors of #Trauma & #warriors of #ChronicIllness ARE honest!
Please! Don’t let liars steal the thunder of truth!
Believe us!
We deserve to be heard!

It's crazy how much you take for granted when you're healthy.❤️‍🩹
Getting a #ChronicIllness as a 16yo, I lost so much without realizing it.
I used to walk from the city to the suburbs for 6 hours straight, enjoying the sunrise...
Now with #Fibromyalgia #ChronicPain, nothing is effortless anymore.💔

Everytime I’m near someone sick, my brain screams: *OMG! SICK!*😱
To outsiders, I look like a hypochondriac.
But I’m not—I’m rational.
With #ChronicPain & other #ChronicIllness
A simple flu can mean unbearable pain, weeks in bed & years of progress ruined!
So, I’m just careful.💜

I'm more into 'radio ga-ga' than '#ladygaga', but I love her for our 3 similarities:

1.She has #fibromyalgia🎗️
2.She's a survivor of sexual assault
3.She's a tiny (5'2") #FibroFairy like me!

Maybe she can help raise #awareness and push #science forward for our #ChronicIllness

Growing up, I often wished for a fairy godmother to guide me through tough times.💫
I never got mine, so I became one!💜
FibroFairy is here to guide, support, listen & help you feel less alone.
Just because I didn’t have one doesn’t mean you can’t.✨
Love, your #FibroFairy

We humans love simplicity:problem→solution.
☝️
But! with #Fibromyalgia #ChronicPain, answers are complex💯❗️
The search for simplicity only leads to frustration.
The truth is—We must work hard because managing a #ChronicIllness is anything but simple.💜

Funny how perception changes—When I was younger, getting my period brought relief.😅
Now, after 2 miscarriages & trying to conceive, it brings #heartbreak.💔
We focus so much on 'how not to get #pregnant' but rarely talk about the pain of trying.🤫
It’s okay to talk about this.💜

Today is #HumanRightsDay.
I believe living without #pain should be a right!
Many of us with #InvisibleDisabilities can’t work, face debt & often don't get any support.😟
But we still have value—we can contribute in other ways!💜
Let’s #Advocate for #Awareness of #ChronicPain!✊

With #Fibromyalgia, my #Sensitive skin gets extra itchy in winter. 🥶
I’ve found that exfoliating—dry brushing or using a scrub after a shower—helps remove dry skin & eases the itch.
Bonus: it’s so satisfying to shed skin like a snake!🐍
Do you exfoliate?💜
#skincare is #SelfCare

As #GriefWeek ends, I reflect on my own #Grief:
Explaining 'what I do' to new people, despite not looking disabled, and defending being 'just' a housewife to judgmental family.💔
But I know my strength, my value & the obstacles I’ve faced and overcome.
That’s worth more than any job!🤗

With #Fibromyalgia #ChronicPain, my mood impacts my pain—
Stress, sadness, & negativity make it worse.💔
That’s why I surround myself with positive people who lift me up, not bring me down...✨
Letting go of toxic relationships is hard, but vital for my #MentalHealth & #pain.
December 9, 2024 at 4:00 PM
I'm not an early bird or a night owl...
With #Fibromyalgia #ChronicPain #ChronicFatigue, I'm a permanently exhausted pigeon!🐦😴
Anyone else feeling this way?😂😅
Let's laugh through the fatigue and keep supporting each other!💜

I’m not a fan of modern pop, but 'Flowers' by Miley Cyrus is different—it’s like a modern 'I Will Survive.'💐

It resonates with my #InvisibleDisability and our community: No one understands your struggles better than you—so no one should love you more than YOU.💜

You’re awesome—love yourself!
December 7, 2024 at 8:00 PM
Even with constant struggles, I strive to find #joy & #Gratitude in each day.✨
Every morning I rise is an act of courage—and so is yours.💜
To all of us with #Fibromyalgia #ChronicPain: You are brave, strong, & worthy.
Never forget that.💪

Recently, #socialmedia platforms changed their algorithms—Showing you what you MIGHT like, not what you follow.🥸
A good workaround is creating LISTS📝for those you follow.👯‍♀️
This way, YOU CONTROL what you see—not the #algorithm!💪

Omg, I made fresh pasta!🍝
It was easier than I thought—and didn’t give me the digestive issues dry pasta does! #IBS
Maybe it’s the finer 00 flour & egg vs. semolina & water in dry pasta that makes the Gluten behave differently!
If you’re sensitive to dry pasta, try fresh egg pasta-It's worth a try!

I’m Rachel, the #FibroFairy. Through abuse, #Disney was my escape—#SnowWhite taught me hope & kindness. She inspired me to study #Animation & walked me down the aisle with her song.
The new live-action feels like a slap—as if being sweet or needing help makes you weak.
I DO have worth. I am STRONG.

People think that because #Fibromyalgia #ChronicPain isn’t a #TerminalIllness, it’s not so bad.😑
We may not die from this, but the pain can make us wish we did.😫
We are #imprisoned in #suffering for life!
Even on good days, we’re never truly who we were...😔
Have #compassion!💜

Fear of failure is natural—it’s your body protecting you.💜
But with #Fibromyalgia #ChronicPain, moving forward means trying new things, even if they might fail.
It’s the only way to learn and grow.🌱
Try. Fail. Learn. Try again.
It’s how I keep going and improving.

Y’all know how much I love my routine!💜
It gives me a sense of control, calm & ease.
It helps me handle surprises.✨
With #Fibromyalgia #ChronicPain, it’s a lifesaver!
It keeps me steady.
I recommend it to all my fellow #FibroFairies—fall in love with your routine!💪

With #ChronicPain we're dealing with #ChronicFatigue every single moment. We never have the strength - yet we always push on!
How AWESOME are WE???? 🤗😍🙌✊🫶

How do you fill my #ChronicPain pain chart?
1 Choose a '0': What is the lowest level of #pain you EVER have?
For me, it's being uncomfortable (3=0)
2 The numbers above that are your baseline (your daily pain)
3 What's your 'flare zone'?
4 Fill the in-between & Done!
