Unfortunately I don't have the energy to put together some info for the mega this week, hopefully I can pull together something for next week though. As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
"Disability" is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
The chronic pain is paining these past couple weeks. Moving up and down the whole left side of my body, every day it’s a fun guessing game of which area will be killing me when I wake up. Sometimes it switches over to the right side just to keep things interesting. The usual mitigations (heat, self-massage/myofascial release, stretching, NSAIDs) are not mitigating and it’s grinding me down. Idk what triggered it. Could be anything or nothing 🫠 I think it’s the combo of colder temps, financial stress, and the political situation here in the US.
I wish I could exercise more!! I was getting back into a good routine and it was helping my mental health a lot and in some ways seems to help my body feel better but then in other ways makes it worse.
My migraines have been unstoppable for weeks, too, and probably from the same causes. It's bad out here, folks.
me too, but I keep hurting myself 😅 need to find a pilates instructor with EDS
what's your favorite method?
