Throwback on Gastroparesis awareness. I'm going to rest are some of my better ones here and there. What is gastroparesis? It's paralysis of the digestive system and the vagus nerve is believed to be largely at fault. Some researchers have speculated IBS leads to gastroparesis and is an early form of the disease, while other doctors refuse to call anything but late stage gastric failure gastroparesis. It's highly debated and severely under-diagnosed. If you want to read about it in depth, you can search it on my site or I'd be happy to PM you a link! #spoonies #chargie #chronicillness #ehlersdanlossyndrome #EDS #MCAS #POTS #fibromyalgia #mecfs #interstitialcystitis #dysautonomia #IBS #Gastroparesis #degenerativediscdisease #complexPTSD #spoonielife #zebrastrong

My shoulders ache so bad. I feel like I'm being ripped apart at the seams by angry toddlers! It's a crappy meme, but it's apropos and the best I could do in light of the circumstances.😝 I had such a good day yesterday and then moved wrong last night (during my therapy 🤦‍♀️) and jammed my neck up again. I bet my right shoulder spent more time out of joint than in, these last 12 hours. So the left one got jealous and started up, too. Soon I was playing a game of dislocating one putting the other back in. It's the first time my left has ever done this. I hope I don't have to add it to the list of chronic assholes who refuse to stay in line. Of course I can't help but be fascinated by all of this, too. On my right, my neck is obviously pulling out my shoulder, which in turns tugs on the elbow until it goes and then the wrist. I have to blast daily to keep these dislocations down to a minimum. It really demonstrates the domino effect of joint dysfunction and how important fascia is to the equation of healing our injuries. Of course I use this reasoning and observation to distract myself from the pain as anything else. It FUCKING HURTS!!! Fuck you bad collagen. Screw you EDS. Up yours MCAS. And while they're going, you can head off, too POTS! I've had it with you all! #spoonies #chargie #chronicillness #ehlersdanlossyndrome #EDS #MCAS #POTS #fibromyalgia #mecfs #interstitialcystitis #dysautonomia #IBS #Gastroparesis #degenerativediscdisease #migraine #spoonielife #zebrastrong

Ever wonder what this Capricious chick does off of IG? Find out about the many places I'm accumulating and sharing resources for spoonies under the Zebra Pit banner when you go to zebrapit.com and read pur latest post, "Resources Galore." From 6 social media outlets to 2 blogs, there's something for everyone. And if you want to check out my new blog, it's listed! I just posted a short story yesterday. While my new blog is centered on my creative work, much of it still focuses on similar themes. You can grab the link the the Zebra Pit in my bio and/or I'd be happy to pm you a link to the new blog; mykiewritesit.wordpress.com.

It's time to do some cat shaming (and then you can shame me about the condition of my coat closet 😂) and talk a little about who really wears the pants in this family. Let me give you a hint, they're made of gray-blue fur! Loki definitely works hard to earn the title of #spoiledbratcat every day. Today's tantrum? Mom forgot to reopen the closet (aka the Cat Cave) door after completing my morning workout. And by fit, I mean FIT. He doesn't just meow in monotone repetition, he goes all out "meow. Meeeeeeew. Meeeeeeeeoooooow. Mrowr? MRROWRR! ROOOOOOOOOWR!" And as he gets wound up, so does the thumping and rolling. Oh, the drama! You would think he's being attacked! He's the most impatient, pushy little bastard on the planet! And of course when I got up in the middle of my head and neck therapy just to open the door, of course he does this! You know that whole "I hope you have a kid just like you" curse everyone's parents are so fond of? Apparently, mine's a cat! 😆😂🤣 At least he keeps life interesting! #cats #catsofinstagram #spoiledcat #likemotherlikeson #furbabies #catboss #russianbluecat #RussianBlue #zebrastrong #spoonies #EDS #MCAS #POTS

So I'm still having a lot of fun with this multiple illness hoe down the universe was kind enough to gift me. I realized my insomnia was probably just as much about my POTS as my pain when I started having some nice dizzy spells, my vision degraded more and my distorted thinking started to play up a bit. I did manage to sleep an almost regular night last night, so I feel like I'm getting it turned around. Still trying everything I can to keep this neck and shoulder in place and get them stronger. I did manage to at least make some breakfast bowls and freeze them and can the broth my husband made for me yesterday afternoon, but of course I'm paying for it. Still gotta eat, though and if I turn to processed foods, it will only make matters that much worse. I always get frustrated when my journey gets sidetracked like this, but all told, I'm still doing quite well because I've managed to maintain a positive outlook and I know, like everything else, this too shall pass. Hugs and kisses all. #spoonies #chargie #chronicillness #ehlersdanlossyndrome #EDS #MCAS #POTS #fibromyalgia #mecfs #interstitialcystitis #dysautonomia #IBS #Gastroparesis #degenerativediscdisease #complexPTSD #spoonielife #zebrastrong
