@erinrackham: For me, at least, my chronic pain came from endometriosis, hypermobility, and autistic allodynia. The only thing that “cured” some of it was eventually a hysterectomy. 🤷🏼♀️ And I don’t think the left-over pain from the hypermobility and allodynia will ever be “cured”. Now I just accommodate my pain and try to stay grounded in my body so I don’t push myself into a flare. ❤️🩹 #applecidervinegar #chronicpain #ocd #endometriosis #ehlersdanlossyndrome #allodynia
When working in a crunchy grocer, I realized it's delusional self control. "if I follow the rules, I'll never be sick/disabled and thus never be discarded." that's the wellness industry's promise

This is interesting to me as someone with ulcerative colitis whose dr said that I probably developed the condition from having eating disorders as a teen. Even tho my dad has UC too

Let's also talk about the blame that's placed on the ill person, and the classism that comes into play. If you don't eat perfect organic vegan whatever or don't use these expensive herbal remedies (1)

I just watched it too, I thought it was well made. I’ve had on/off chronic stuff, also not cancer. There’s such onus to fix ourselves when no one else can, it almost becomes another facet of disease.

the fallacy of individual responsibility underpins our entire medical system, while systemic failing like clean and safe environments are a much bigger factor.

I always felt like I was chasing control. Until I tried The Potato Hack. Now , I eat mostly potatoes and feel better than I ever felt. No more chronic pain. And-I love it.,makes food easy, no decisions and I love what I eat.

Ani: AuDHD Coach 🇦🇺 :
I genuinely don’t know how I didn’t get diagnosed with OCD. I definitely have it and it was missed. Most of my ND profile was missed too and I had to figure it all out myself. Exhausting.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve been ruminating SO hard lately. Would love to hear more on letting go of control while balancing tracking symptoms if you have more thoughts on it 💛

This sounds like us, always trying to figure out how to fix everything. We’re DID with hypermobility, POTS, and fibromyalgia.

I feel like we live in a society where providers can’t handle not having an answer because they “failed” and they need something to bill of course.

AIP has destroyed my relationship with food. 😭 I'm pretty sure it turned into full fledged ARFID and I struggle so hard to eat anything at all.

Totally! I’ve found this as I practice functional medicine - a lot more of my clients have co occurring ocd/ anxiety and it directly impacts the work. Such an important piece of the puzzle!

The social determinants of health and learning about the societal issues that co tribute to our health, took a lot of pressure. I can only control so much, I can not control 100% of my health.
