From invisible illness to disability. My journey of chronic pain, diagnoses, misdiagnoses & trying to keep it all together.

What was going through my head when I said yes to being interviewed by Colorado Public Radio about #chronicpain and how I’m feeling about it now. #painandpurpose #hiddendisability #invisibleillness

@cprwarner You are an exceptional interviewer, @cprwarner! Thank you for giving voice to those enduring #chronicpain and for sharing my story.

[Naomi Binkley - Pain & Purpose @GoTeamNaomi]

Thank you to the amazing @cprwarner for the opportunity to share my experience living with #chronicpain. It was a great honor to be a part of the @COPublicRadio series, "On Pain." Take a listen, then share your thoughts. #PainandPurpose

"There's something really lonely about having something in your body-- tearing it apart -- that you can't identify."

Our chronic pain series "On Pain" continues with @GoTeamNaomi, of Golden, who's still searching for relief... and a diagnosis.

"Any struggle or pain that you experience just gets you to the top, and you can't get there without making the climb. A few years later, you won't remember exactly the way the pain felt or how long it took, you'll just remember the view from the top." - Hayley Williams

Or so I keep hearing... but deep down, I know it's true. How is #pain transforming you? Share ⤵! #painandpurpose #chronicpain #invisibleillness #LongCovid

Just a few of my latest appointments - from treatments for #LongCovid to cardiology and neurology - all with the goal of reducing the #chronicpain, #musclespasms and now, offering relief from #postcovid symptoms. Read the #blog at https://t.co/UrSeJcIFIx.

A must-read for anyone with #chronicpain, #PostCovid, challenging medical diagnoses & the people who love them. - Scott Alexandar quoted in #TheDeepPlaces @DouthatNYT #painandpurpose

[Naomi Binkley - Pain & Purpose @GoTeamNaomi]

A video #health update as well as a call for some much-needed advice to help with my #accessibility. If you haven't checked out my #blogpost, In #Pain? Don't Go It Alone - please do! I poured my 💙 into that one. #postcovid #raredisease https://t.co/29AzDYcOKu

How sharing my health struggles impacts my professional life. Watch the #video of my #storytelling experience at the inaugural @denversbdc & @DenChamber Small Business, Big Connections event. #chronicpain #smallbusiness https://t.co/mbtKInmgix.

Spent a few days workin' with a #holtermonitor to see why my ticker is acting up. The results?! An appointment with #cardiology in a couple of weeks. #painandpurpose #keeptrucking

[Naomi Binkley - Pain & Purpose @GoTeamNaomi]

A little soul searching on the placebo effect and the role of my thoughts on my chronic muscle pain and spasms. In my newest blog, is belief the cure for chronic pain? https://t.co/G8xN36Feiw

[Naomi Binkley - Pain & Purpose @GoTeamNaomi]

See how the way I described my symptoms early on may have led to misdiagnoses. What I called tremors differ from these painful #musclespasms & cramping. Read my blog on how this all started: https://t.co/qJs87L2K60 & share with anyone you know who's dealing with #chronicpain.

The sweetness and #sorrow behind surrendering to the #mobilityscooter as my #chronicpain increased and my muscle endurance decreased. #painandpurpose #accessibilityforall #invisibleillness #hiddendisability

It's not always easy seeing the 🌎 through #rosecoloredglasses when you're dealing with #chronicpain... but it sure looks prettier when you do! How do you find #positivity when things feel heavy and bleak? #pink #splashofcolor #painandpurpose #invisibleillness

If you'd have told me 10 years ago that my future #selfie would look like this, I wouldn't have believed it. At least there's still #forwardmotion. #me #invisibleillness #chronicpain #accessibilityforall #LongTermCOVID

Share your best advice and resources for everyone here! For me, being back on the pitcher's mound feels a far-off dream as I remain locked in pain. Check out my new blog with health updates & tools I'm using to help. #ChronicPain #painandpurpose
