Chronic pain and illness support

Hey everyone! I’m looking to make some friends and support others with chronic issues. (Or just support in general) I myself have Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia and have finally been getting back to my old self after a year and a half prolonged flare up.
But I’m finally getting back on my feet again and would like to motivate, support and share with others.
We can do this. One day at a time, but we will get there through the good days and bad days!

Please feel free to add me and share a bit about yourself if you’d like!
Cheers!

    Hey all - multiple chronic illnesses (Fibro, spinal disc issues, sciatica, asthma, etc) make it a CHALLENGE to even give a hoot about losing weight when every day is just hard enough to survive.

    BUT I know ultimately the weight is exacerbating many of my issues *sigh* So I am giving it another go. It's nice to talk with people who can relate.
