    Anyone here with chronic pain? I'd love to get a support thread going.

    About me: I have a herniated disc, fibromyalgia, inflammation, GI issues, etc. This all started claiming my body around 27, but the last year has been the absolute hardest. I wasn't even 30 yet and walking with a cane. I have a great doctor now, and we're getting there, but my quality of life still isn't what it should be at 30.

    My goal is different than most on here. I don't care how many pounds I lose per week or if I miss tracking a meal. I just want to feel alive again and capable of moving and doing the things I enjoy.

    We are limited in what we can do, but we CAN do things and that's what I want to think about, because thinking about what I can't do is depressing.

    I would love to meet fellow spoonies or anyone recovering from injury.

    @Danibrss I was diagnosed with autoimmune Psoriatic Arthritis in 2014 and I am now stronger than ever! I take 40mg of Humira every two weeks. The 9 months of Prednisone and Methotrexate gave me Type 2 Diabetes and I take synthroid for Hypothyroidism.

    Feel free to add me warrior!

    Cheers!

    For me it's chronic lower back and leg pain from an auto accident about 2yrs ago. A simple walk around the neighborhood will cause things to light up like a bad lighting storm. Through physical therapy, I've found some exercises I can do that don't aggravate the problem. I'll push the boundaries and try other exercises every now and then to see if I can do more. While it's been slow going, as far as the progress I'd like to see, I feel better by doing what I can vs. just sitting/laying around.
