So, I was trying to book a fancy restaurant and nearly committed till I saw they had a dress code which said no sports clothing / trainers.

I have an abdominal hernia which means I have to wear certain types of top for comfort, polo shirts usually. And the oedema in my feet means that two hours in fancy shoes = next day hobbling.

It'd be nice to have fancy food but I guess I'll just give my money to somewhere not so up its own arse.

I have a medical procedure coming up and had to answer a questionnaire. Among other things, I was asked if I have problems with “blenching”. I looked that word up, but can find no definition. There was also no way for me to request feedback, so I’m left wondering if they meant belching, blanching, or something else altogether. Ugh. Also, I was asked if I experience headaches, gut issues, congestion, coughing, etc. The answer is yes. Those are all part of a normal day for me. Oh, the joys of having chronic health issues which match up with COVID symptoms. Just to be sure, I tested myself, and came up negative. #ChronicHealthIssues #ChronicPain #RespiratoryDisease #IBS #Migraine #PostnasalDrip #InvisibleDisabilities #MaskUp #Proofreading

Shout-out to my rheumatologist and all docs who fight tirelessly for their patients who risk losing quality of life to insurance company's arbitrary rules. She fought appeal after appeal and today we won. I am so grateful to her. To all docs out there, thank you for what you do for us. #ChronicHealthIssues #DisabilityMastodon #ChronicDisease #CrohnsAwareness

A dear friend of mine has #chronichealthissues. She has this this small business to try to support herself but it's been difficult. She does the lettering and is a very talented artist. I'm sharing here because I'm sure some of you would appreciate her work. One of the slogans is a bit harsh but, after Colorado… absolutely appropriate. #trans #transphobia #transgender #Vote #abortion #AbortionIsHealthcare #politics

I had dental work under sedation last Thursday. They blew at least two veins trying to get one to work for the meds. This is the one in my hand after 9 days. It's not pretty. My years of illness have not been kind.

Because telling your doctor when pain increases when you have a #chronicillness and #ChronicHealthIssues is just common sense.

I was just about to write about how my back and legs were sore again today, then I realised how often I've said that in the last couple of weeks.

I feel like my pain levels have started creeping up again in the last couple of weeks. I'm putting it down to a combination of psychological stress from literally everything in the world, and having to mobilise to all the doctors appointments. #ChronicHealthIssues #ChronicPain

Feeling a bit scared. Returning to work tomorrow after 4 months off. Not sure if I'm better enough, and worried that I've pissed on my chips with the team. Positive thoughts and hopeful pics please.
