In this issue: Don’t avoid using assistive devices and mobility aids to help support your balance. Start with one simple task, and let momentum build up from there to drive motivation levels up. Gaslighting is an extremely effective form of emotional abuse that gives the abuser a lot of power over their victim. Things to remember during a pain flare, such as the house does not need cleaning right this moment. The association words is what matters; ‘exercise’ might sound like a chore to one, but rejuvenating to another. Top 21 chronic illness blogs as selected by Pathways Health, including A Chronic Voice! Whilst our bodies get confused with chronic illness, I still believe it’s amazing and tries its best to protect and support us. Drink Pure Wine review, where my usual inflammatory pains were not triggered. When your body is the artist and you are its medium; even poop contains so much knowledge. When you have a friend with MCAS too; hallucinating in the hospital yet still checking in on you.
