♥️My two Valentines.♥️
Lately I’ve been very stressed dealing with family stuff. And the truth is I’m not dealing with it well. I have cycles of deep devastation with intense anxiety and a sense of urgency. . For years I’ve practiced deep breathing techniques combined with reading my Bible, but right now my soul aches and my #RA has been very angry. . My right hip hurts so bad it feels broken and I struggle to focus on anything except my pain and the desperation the pain creates. So it’s a viscous cycle. Life stress is making my joints kill to the point where I’m literally desperate and anxious to do anything to lessen the agony. . Does your #RA ever get angry when you’re going through a lot? #empowerwithVectraScore #VectraScore #rheumatoidarthritis #arthritis #chronicpain #chronicillness #chronicmom #invisibleillness #ra #jra #ja #juvenilearthritis #autoimmunedisease #spoonie #gastroparesis
Today is #rheumatoiddisease day and I’m wearing my favorite #VectraScore shirt. Less than 10 years ago, I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing a shirt like this—now I’m proud. People have asked me why I advertise the fact that I have #RheumatoidArthritis. It’s because I’m proud. Proud to bring awareness to a disease most people think only affects the elderly. Proud to be a badass fighting debilitating pain every. single. moment. of my life and proud to have chosen happiness in spite of it. So come up to me! Ask me questions. I’m an open book. 📖🙂 💜 💙 💜 #rheumatoidarthritis #arthritis #chronicpain #chronicillness #chronicmom #invisibleillness #ra #jra #ja #juvenilearthritis #autoimmunedisease #spoonie #gastroparesis

Even though Santi’s grandpa isn’t here with us, it’s awesome having his great-uncle as a stand-in. . The day this was taken I was terribly sick from a horrible flare-up and a stomach flu all in one day. Not only did Santi’s grandmother step-up to help me care for Santi, but his cousin, great-aunt, and great-uncle did too. . This is the support I talk about in my interview with VectraVoice. I feel so incredibly blessed to have such a supportive family filling in the gaps for Santi when I can’t walk, stand, or even breathe without crying because of the pain. My dream of a family was made possible by all the loving friends and family I have supporting me. 💜 💙 💜 #empowerwithVectraScore #VectraScore #rheumatoidarthritis #arthritis #chronicpain #chronicillness #chronicmom #invisibleillness #ra #jra #ja #juvenilearthritis #autoimmunedisease #spoonie #gastroparesis

Thanks for coming!

Thank you for visiting my blog. I am so happy you are here! I created this blog back in 2011 on tumblr because I felt there was a need for someone to talk about how chronic illness affects not just our bodies, but our souls as well. Always remember, this is a safe space for you to vent, scream, and be yourself. :)

<3 Steph

RA is a part of me, but it doesn’t define me
