#Fibromyalgia is a terrible thing but please... do not use it to slap me or minimize #TuberousSclerosis. They are NOT on the same level.

I'm kinda tired of my kidneys failing, intractable epilepsy, and so on being minimized by other sick people. It's not a contest but it's also reality driven.

My energy is spent keeping myself from keeling over, not giving you spoons.

Woke up with my neck and #TMJ screaming. Just a slight misalignment in your facial bones, spine, or skull and one week of rain you get one week of a nonstop headache with these kinds of symptoms. We've had almost three. Using a car ride to toss someone in #Cataplexy around like a bag of rocks to trigger it doesn't help.
