So after 25 years (as long as I remember) of intermittent knee pain and 15 years after having been told that everything was alright after a quick radiography, I built up enough courage to talk about it to my amazing GP.
Turns out, I have all clinical symptoms of a Patellofemoral pain syndrome, a simple but well done radiography can confirm the diagnostic. I also learnt that my knees are hypermobile...

If this is confirmed, there's no treatment except building-up some extra muscles with a physiotherapist.

So thanks for my amazing GP and fuck the former doctors that made me scared of talking about it ever again while when it flares up, I can barely climb a flight of stairs or sit down on the floor

What is the best desk chair for back support? I'm chronically ill and in pain all the time, currently my desk chair is not meeting my needs and is making it very hard for me to use my computer, even with pillows and trying my best to position correctly etc. #disabled #chronicallyill #chronicilless #chronicpain #askmasto #askmastodon #gameing #disability

This flare is including muscle spasms and tremors and huge fatigue and pain, and general confusion. I'm not having a good time #chronicilless #LongCovid #permanentlysick #notfun

I got so many things done yesterday, so of course I'm crashed today. Achy and sleepy. Maybe this one won't last too long. I'm resting and sipping my calendula tincture, my sovereign remedy for crashes. #mecfs #chronicilless

I've been masking hardcore in N95s, but I have a cough. I'm desperately hoping this isn't another fucking round of covid.
I'm so scared what will happen to me if I catch another varient of this fucking virus again.

I'm back ​ my health has gone downhill to an extreme among other things.
I came out as non-binary though, my pronouns are now the/them ​ been experiencing transphobia from family to an extreme. Like someone once said: Family don't end with blood
I'm going to try and do camp nano among other things.

Hi, I have a chronic illness which means I can only work part time. I also have some mental health conditions and also currently a long covid lung issue. This made my Twitter community all the more important to me because I am often home alone and there were many others there in similar situations and it was good for company and support. If you are home a lot for similar reasons (or different ones) please say hi! #chronicilless #fibromyalgia #LongCovid #anxiety #ptsd

I asked them what I should do & they told me I could come back tomorrow (today) to do an intake. I inspected her for fleas or any other noticable neglegencies but saw none, thankfully. So I brought her home until I could decide what to do. Her & my own #dog hit it off quickly.

She did great overnight but sadly, I am not in a position to have 2 dogs. In fact, I'm in the process of getting my dog to be trained as a #servicedog because of my #heartdisease & other #chronicilless. (More below)

Happy 420 kids! I’m celebrating because I got a new formula edible and now I’m waking up (slowly) and actually able to DO STUFF!! This is a huge win for me so I’ll celebrate again before I go to bed so I can be productive tomorrow. 🎉🎉🎉 #420 #marijuana #chronicpain #chronicilless #Fibromyagia
