@serenebutterfly The sad part is that there are some people in our society who would think this is a good thing.

@serenebutterfly This sounds sickening.

Why "don't let your illness define you" backfires, what hiding your chronic illness costs, and how to be more open without oversharing. https://t.co/QBKUA4P9s3

You might have seen my latest blog post about the Biojrnl app. The developer emailed me earlier to say that he is offering my readers three months of the Pro version free of charge. I thought it was an incredibly kind offer, so I just wanted to share it with you.

I have just read this fantastic article by @invisiblymeblog. Please read it if you get the chance & share it. None of us choose a life with chronic pain or illness, but there is so much vitriol against us in the media, and thanks to that in society. Brilliant post Caz.

#NewBlogPost Sometimes it's useful to track pain or other symptoms to find out if there's a pattern or trigger. In this post, I have written a review about a new health tracking app — Biojrnl.

Chronic illness can quietly erase who you thought you'd become. Here's why that grief is real, and how to hold it without getting stuck. https://t.co/oobrYH15HU

The small, familiar comforts matter a great deal when you’re in pain. This can be seen as coming home to your own bed, or having a nice hot cup of tea at the end of the day, if that’s your thing." lovely post by @AChVoice https://t.co/kE0NVyqu5y

#NewBlogPost for #PainAwarenessMonth
This post is about what it's really like to live with pain. It's not just about physical pain. There's much more to it.

What's it Like to Live With Pain https://t.co/qhUmkMa5qb via @DespitePainBlog

[Despite Pain @DespitePainBlog]

Because of our pain, we often have to put life on hold. We might need to postpone plans, family visits or even appointments.
We look at our diaries and have to make a choice: cancel or push through.
Both choices have consequences.

P is for PRETEND
There are days when people see us and think we look fine, so they presume we must be fine.
They might even think we're pretending to live with pain.
But the truth is, sometimes we're pretending to be healthy.
