In This Issue: The Need for More Accessible Fitness Programmes & More
- One of the biggest problems with exercise and disability is the huge lack of accessible fitness programmes.
- Chronic fatigue is all consuming and affects your cognition function; it is much more complex than just ‘tired’.
- Even if they’d like to be more social, people with chronic illness need to rest a lot because that what their bodies demand.
- Our brain processes the day’s information and moves them to long-term memory storage during REM sleep.
- It doesn’t have to be a huge lifestyle overhaul as that can be miserable! But every little bit of improvement in our wellbeing helps.
- With the death of every language comes the death of a way of thinking and problem solving, which impacts all areas of society, research and more.
- The consequences of living with fibromyalgia is that a full night of sleep won’t do anything, and by that time, chronic pain would taken control of your body.
- Over time, you may come to realise how much your body wants the best for you, instead of being the abusive bitch you thought it was.
- One of the worst things you can do to your self-esteem with chronic illness is to compare yourself to others; we are all on different life paths, with different challenges and at different times in our lives.
- Our healing and health with chronic illness is our own business; we don’t wish for your advice, unless asked for.
“While I do spend a lot of time #resting it is because my #body requires me to do that. It would be amazing to be more #social but it isn’t as easy as getting ready and going somewhere": https://t.co/pn3DKPIp06 @TheFrznMind #friends #ChronicLife

"I’m not saying I’ll be focussing 100% effort into transforming my life into a #healthy 1, cos I find that miserable..But every bit counts towards #healing & my #wellbeing. So eating, moving & sleeping just that wee bit more will be helpful, too. Santé!": https://t.co/D8Nmj8MShG pic.twitter.com/5mHgh37Vms
