Last fall, I was diagnosed with a rare condition called mast cell activation syndrome.
*The heat* I’ll be honest with you, I haven’t been dealing very well with the heat this summer. 🌞 That’s one symptom of fibromyalgia, or central sensitization (both terms refer to how the body can easily be overwhelmed by various stimuli). It’s almost embarrassing, how sensitive I am. I was trying to get away with just one air conditioner for my apartment— you know, as people do. To save 💰. But things are never so simple with central sensitization. Where someone else might just feel like their apartment is too hot, I’ve felt like I’ve been hit with a ton of bricks.
Really liked this quote ✨🙏 One of the things I’m trying to do with my blog: put a story to the science. ✨ #chronicillness #chronicpain #spoonie #fibromyalgia #fibro #centralsensitization #css #invisibleillness #butyoudontlooksick #pain #story #storyteller #creativewriting #physicaltherapy #pt #physio #physiotherapy
