Darkness Needs Lightness for Balance…<\/h2>\n
All of my recent posts have been extremely \u2018heavy\u2019, so to speak. First, there were the two knee injury series – one on resources for post knee surgery<\/a><\/strong>, and the other on things you can do whilst bed bound<\/a><\/strong>. Then, there was the Antiphospholipid Syndrome A to Z resource<\/a><\/strong>, which included a few other topics such as medications<\/a><\/strong>, women\u2019s health<\/a><\/strong>, the latest APS research<\/a><\/strong> and all the major organs in the body that the autoimmune disease can hit<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
…Or Maybe It Just Needs More Darkness!<\/h2>\nSo I decided to do this post for a bit of fun, and to take a break from the dreariness of it all. A metaphorical digestif, if you will. This post is part of a TikTok trend (I should really get on it some time soon, shouldn\u2019t I?), \u201cTell Me Without Telling Me<\/a>\u201d. I learned about it from a post by Caz over at invisiblyme.com<\/a>, although I can\u2019t seem to find the original post now. Many of us who live with chronic illness endure our days with chronic pain, chronic fatigue, brain fog and other unnameable unpleasantries.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nConclusion to the \u201cTell Me You\u2019re Chronically Ill Without Telling Me You\u2019re Chronically Ill\u201d Meme Series<\/h2>\nCould you relate to any of these memes as a person with chronic illness or disabilities? I\u2019d love to hear which you could relate to the most in the comments below! And if you have a good chronic illness meme of your own, I\u2019d love to hear it too, and perhaps add it to this post (with credits to you, of course)!<\/p>\n
Wishing you a low-pain day, and one filled with laughter \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
