A5. Yes. I think it's because either I have been disbelieved so much about the intensity & pain level.
Or just that there's nothing a person not in chronic pain would understand. #SpoonieChat
A5. Example. I was shown an x-ray of my hands when they were investigating my rhematoid factor. They asked me what happened to my right ring finger. The bones in the top are completely smashed. #SpoonieChat
A5. They asked me to explain. I told them the truth - this happened in 2006. I don't report pain that isn't worse than the pain in my back or nerve pain in the body. I honestly thought it was a sprain. #SpoonieChat

Damn if coffee doesn’t help me more than hurt. #myspoons
I wonder if getting out of the habit of drinking coffee was a daft choice as a #spoonie with multiple fatigue conditions.
Once my body let me get out of bed today, I figured, let me get coffee while I'm up. And wow.
It didn't fix everything (I’m definitely depressed and need a therapist) but damned if I'm not actually getting things done for the first time in 3 weeks.
