#spoonieQAoftheday what's the worst medicine side effect you put up with? #spoonie #chroniclife

[SpoonieQ&A @SpoonieQA]

@jaimilyn87 @SpoonieCult Sounds like you're taking the right steps. I know my anxious feelings get better when I can identify what the underlying cause is.

[SpoonieQ&A @SpoonieQA]

@jaimilyn87 @SpoonieCult I think it's completely normal to have anxiety over packing. Especially since moving is tough physically as well. That adds stress.

[SpoonieQ&A @SpoonieQA]

@SLovesSmiles @caitlinplumley Sometimes I think my pain doesn't get taken seriously bc I don't cry or scream. I'm actually very calm.

[SpoonieQ&A @SpoonieQA]

@SLovesSmiles @caitlinplumley I've been denied pain meds in the hospital. I kept saying I was at 10 pain & nobody believed me until my MRI came back w/ 4 spine fractures.

Steroid mood swings got me like...

[SpoonieQ&A @SpoonieQA]

@SLovesSmiles @caitlinplumley I've wondered how and when patients get flagged as that. I've had my pain taken seriously when I've gone to the ER for it. Maybe I'm lucky?

[SpoonieQ&A @SpoonieQA]

@SLovesSmiles @Cali_dragonfly @SpoonieCult no fibro but spine fractures that can trigger migraines. Dizziness & tremor seem separate.

[SpoonieQ&A @SpoonieQA]

@jaimilyn87 @caitlinplumley I'm always afraid I'll catch something at ER, so it has to be a 9/10 on the pain scale for me to make myself go.

[SpoonieQ&A @SpoonieQA]

@jaimilyn87 @caitlinplumley excellent question! Sorry I'm slow on the RT!

@Endo_Spoonie grocery shopping takes allllll the spoons! I've used pick-up services before. I love that they're catching on!

[SpoonieQ&A @SpoonieQA]

@Cali_dragonfly I get lost easily bc brain fog & driving don't always mix! Lol Navigating takes more concentration & effort than it used to.

[SpoonieQ&A @SpoonieQA]

When you're all caught up on your medication refills so you don't have to go the pharmacy for a while. #SpoonieGifParty

[SpoonieQ&A @SpoonieQA]

@Solo_Spoonie oooh my body temperature keeps me up a lot!

[SpoonieQ&A @SpoonieQA]

@verycrazyruthie standing in place takes allllll the spoons! I don't do lines lol.

[✌️crazyruthie✌️ @verycrazyruthie]

@SpoonieQA it makes my anxiety go through the roof which always aggravates my physical symptoms.

[SpoonieQ&A @SpoonieQA]

@verycrazyruthie I know how that is. I feel like no matter what time I go to sleep, my body insists on being awake at 4am. Why 4am? No clue!

[SpoonieQ&A @SpoonieQA]

@Endo_Spoonie oooh I get leg nerve pain that I think is very similar. I feel for you because ain't no sleep happening with that!
