The thing that people don't realize, unless they're one of us: chronic pain does not really get you out of anything that needs to get done. Not that rest helps anyway. (Not looking for sympathy, just a little glimpse at how some of us navigate the world.)

@farah I really really hate to complain. It's hard not to say anything, though when it gets this relentlessly bad, like 24/7. I'm going to ask to go back on Cymbalta, just to take the edge off. Maybe it will be enough.
How are you doing, my fine friend?
@kimlockhartga Chugging along. My constant tiredness has not resolved. On top of that, my painful cysts are back. Which isn’t that painful but annoying af and limits some of my movements. So hard to do anything comfortably
@farah Does it feel like it's always something? Like you can't seem to catch a break? "Arggghhh," she said, all pirate-like. IDK why, but when I was in college, when things seemed to be slipping out of whack in my life, I would get my best friend to join me in dressing up like a pirate and play-terrorize the halls of our dorm. I'm not even sure if we came up with demands, but we made fake swords, and acted swashbuckly.
This does not help you, but you did somehow spark a rare good playful memory. 😂
