“For me it wasn’t a dramatic single moment. I’ve had quite a few painful conditions for nearly 30 years now. About 20 years in I got another diagnosis to add to my list and it was something really rare (I’m case #14 ever documented I believe) that’s also inoperable… I remember looking at how often I’m bed bound or unable to speak with a migraine and thought back to my endless energetic, athletic, outgoing self and realised that person didn’t exist anymore.”
“It’s more than not being able to do certain things. My brain and the way I think is completely different too. Quite difficult to articulate but yeah, I’m not the same me I was in younger, healthier years.” — AdaptiveRelief
