Hey I'm Audrey. I have a date tomorrow so I got a haircut today. It was more of a trim than a full cut, but it was also less than $20 so I'm okay with that. Almost passed out after though, oops! That's what I have puppy for but I left him home #SpoonieChat https://t.co/5pqZHpVNOk

NAPS. I love naps. Also pacing myself. And making sure that if I can't make food, I have enough ready-to-eat food that I can eat to gain back a spoon or two. But quite often, there is no getting back a spoon. The spoons are limited. I can't always pay for extra. #SpoonieChat https://t.co/7icewJFfae

RT @Meryals: @DawnMGibson A6: @DawnMGibson A6: that you can't always just push through it. Sometimes you just have to stay in bed. That just because I'm smiling doesn't mean that I'm not in extreme pain (are we supposed to just mope around all of the time?) The pain doesn't always show, but it's there #spooniechat

#SpoonieChat A5. Again, offered no. However I DO know why I have pain and fatigue. I figured it out for myself. And I know MY health, my contributing factors and my presentation fairly well now. I function remarkably well for my issues BECAUSE I understand why and how to manage

A3. Having fatigue is like: ✅Being a battery on a smartphone at 3% with 4 charge-draining tasks to do ✅ Starting an extra 200m/yards behind in a 1000m/yards race ✅Always cancelling, rarely accommodated ✅Feeling from a planet with different speed defaults. #SpoonieChat https://t.co/an1OOWBasR

It can mean feeling seen, but a lot of the time it feels like being judged especially when it comes to pain. The backlash from drug companies pushing opioids hurt patients&our ability to get our pain managed, especially by doctors who are too scared to prescribe any #SpoonieChat https://t.co/kpwrQWpDhQ

@DawnMGibson A9: I'd love to hear from people in the #spooniechat community who are trying to navigate dating while suffering from a chronic illness! I still haven't quite figured that one out. It's hard to find people who understand and/or aren't scared away. #spooniechat

#SpoonieChat A6 the most important thing I think people should know is two-fold. 1. Those who live with these are scared to tell anyone because of stigma AND the fear of being dismissed and ignored.

Honestly I just feel so tired so much of the time. Not just sleepy, but seriously bone fucking tired. Not to mention my general dizziness & having to take it fairly easy so I dont pass out. #SpoonieChat https://t.co/cVc2TPL5m8

RT @AliWonderHell: #SpoonieChat A4. Chronic pain...is merely my reality. I am fortunate, when my care is optimized I live at a 2-3/10. When not I can be at an 8 unremitting. And I cannot remember a night since my son died that I did not have increased pain in the night.

RT @Aoiferocksitout: A4 18 years, 24/7 chronic pain,add an additional 6 years where it was chronic,but not non-stop.

Some days are better than others & some are worse, but it's pretty much always there. And it makes you tired faster & your brain slower bc all of it takes a toll on you & it just grows over time, making you more tired. You don't reset every morning #SpoonieChat https://t.co/d3isnw67ag

From ya'll yes: pain makes you tired, the end. Well, not always the end but being in pain is exhausting so of course I'm tired. Though recently I was given the other half of my exhaustion equation, that being a diagnosis where fatigue is part of my symptoms #SpoonieChat https://t.co/X8MtOdrBVr
