Chronic Illness & Pain Make this Journey Rough

Hello everyone, reading peoples posts is really encouraging bcs I don’t feel so alone. Also, I am stopping beating myself up, I am cutting out that inner dialogue that says I’m lazy, and replacing it with some kindness. I was once an athlete, was extremely healthy, ate well, exercised regularly, and basically took my strength and health for granted. All that positive lifestyle changed after 4 years of toxic black mould exposure and a recent accidental re-exposure. I battle my autoimmune system every day, my liver is not recovering as well as it should, my body hurts, food is something to endure the side effects of, the smalles amounts of exercise take so many days to recover from, I want to go out and be myself again but I just can’t and it gets so discouraging but listening to these stories, I realize that we are warriors. We battle every day, and it’s amazing that we are still trying. One small step at a time as my specialist keeps telling me; the old me is gone but a new and different reality for my life is blossoming. I think it is happening for us all. God bless!
