I'm Kate. I have #fibromyalgia, #pots, #osteoarthritis, #ibs, #cfs, and #svt. I am humbled by, and grateful for the lessons I learn through, #invisibleillness.

Can’t believe it’s been a decade since I made my first trip to @MayoClinic Arizona.

Truly a pivotal experience in my health journey. And life, in general.

Good morning, friends.

Feeling grateful for a gray, warm, windy new day.

And excited for the impending, significant change of weather.

Good Morning, World.

Evenings like this are powerful reminders of just how care I’ve come in the last two decades since my diagnosis. #fibromyalgia #invisibleillness #osteoarthritis #arthritis #POTS #chronicpain

Here in Florida we’re experiencing a “cold spell” that’ll last mere days. Loved the first day of cooler weather paired with a stiff breeze. But, this second evening has me feeling keenly aware of my #osteoarthritis and #fibromyalgia.

@MarcerDavid I also found that, for the most part, nothing helped the stomach symptoms. Just patience. And time. And plenty of water. And minimal soda. Which I save for medicating migraines (which I can’t strongly medicate due to a heart condition).

@MarcerDavid @NaNoWriMo My biggest fibromyalgia relief came when I was able to get a few other medical conditions managed and mellowed. And, when I committed to consistently exercising and modifying my eating, I found increased energy which continues to help me through difficult days.

Welcome to the weekend, y’all.

[MyLifeWithFibro @MyLifeWithFibro]

Two subjects dear to my heart. Both life-changing. And by no means mutually exclusive.

So grateful for the role the pursuit of fitness has played in my health journey, the many influential folks... https://t.co/QO2xIgoxDe

I just added my upcoming haircut to my health calendar and had to laugh. But, you know what? It totally qualifies. I only get one or two a year. And it’s absolutely an investment in feeling my best.
