“Just because I’m smiling or laughing doesn’t mean I’m pain-free. I think that’s one of the hardest things for those w/out #ChronicPain or illness to understand—while symptoms go from manageable to intolerable from one day to the next—it’s always there.” https://t.co/uovVihEURX
@TheAJNR@The_ASSR 10 yrs ago we were looking for the wrong kind of leaks with the wrong kinds of tools. Now we find many leaks we could not find before. But no stopping until we have the right tools for every leak and every case of orthostatic HA. We’re better, but not done. #unknownunknowns
Then there’s me, a leaker, who was told by a palliative care doctor at a major healthcare institution, “Your pain isn’t valid to be treated because it’s not caused by cancer.” Not everyone has access to the care they deserve.

“If you take my #pain medicine away, there’s really nothing I can do except lie in bed and feel terrible. That’s not a life. When you know there’s a treatment that can reduce that pain… that people won’t give it to you—it’s torturous.” https://t.co/z85W1O2Tu9 #opioids#cpp
“I miss feeling productive. I miss feeling spontaneous…I miss not being exhausted constantly. I miss feeling like I had a future… I’m trying hard to find my identity again. I have lost so much…after I worked so hard to become who I was.” https://t.co/UJw0MKQgG0 #chronicillness
