A great reminder that chronic illness is a journey filled with many ups and downs 🎢 If you’re like me and are using several different treatments at one time, your journey becomes a trial and error process of learning which treatment is actually working and how 📊and in that process, your symptoms get worse, get better, or stay the same and it’s usually never predictable. Just keep riding the 🌊 and be kind to yourself along the way 💛 via: @thechrillness #chronicillness #invisibleillness #wednesdaywisdom

Me and my sweet tooth love #nationalcookieday 🍪 Something I’ve noticed over the many years of having migraines, is that my sugar cravings spike right before and right after a migraine attack 📈 how do you deal with these sugar cravings? Have you noticed a linkage between sugar and your migraines/headaches or other conditions? 🍭 📸: @xp3cto . . . #migraine #sugar #invisibleillnessawareness #chronicillness

🎄December Intentions 🎄 Focusing this month on my spiritual mindset and living intentionally day to day. ❄️”Be more present” stop worrying about where I could be or where I will be tomorrow, and start relishing in or accepting whatever moment I’m in right now. 🙇🏼‍♀️ ❄️”Learn something new every day” whether it’s through a podcast, a book, a friend, at work, etc., I want to keep my mind stimulated and pick up new knowledge wherever I can! 📔 ❄️”Ten minutes of meditation or prayer each day” doing so helps me set the tone for the day & helps me get in the right mindset to take on whatever may come at me that day 🙏🏼 ❄️”Foster a giving heart” because this is the season of giving and I want to remember that even when I think I don’t have a lot, there is always someone out there who has less and could use our help. We only get out of this world as much as we give back to it 💛 . . . What are your #intentions for #december?

Cold weather season is here! ❄️and I’ve got some amazing accessories to wear thanks to my very talented friend, @savvystitchess 💕Honestly, even when it’s not that cold out, I still feel like I’m always colder than everyone else. But now I know that I can blame it on my #ehlersdanlossyndrome & #pots because poor temperature regulation are common symptoms of both. Anyone else have problems keeping warm or notice these symptoms in themselves? • • • Check out my friend’s #etsy shop @savvystitchess for beautifully handmade scarves, hats, headbands and more! 🧣

After an amazing #friendsgiving yesterday, all I want to do is leave work, lay in bed and sleep off all that turkey tryptophan 🦃😴 Having your room set up with all your essentials next to you on your night stand can really help your nighttime routine & can be a lifesaver if you wake up with lots of pain. I keep my books, gratitude journal, Advil, water, calming lavender lotion & essential oils on my nightstand 🛌 • • • What is your nighttime routine? What do you make sure to always have next to your bed?

Round 3️⃣of #aimovig was this week! I’m hoping to see some improvement , but trying to remind myself that if this doesn’t work, there are still other avenues I can go down 🛤 & other treatments I can try 👩🏼‍⚕️ I wanna know: what has your experience with aimovig been like? #migraine #invisibleillness #spoonie
