I thought I knew #ChronicPain ( and I don't mean being unable to score some sticky Icky) Then, during a month long attack of #sciatica (not my first) I developed a fucked ankle (not a medical term) - presumably #MS #spasticity in the peroneal muscle (shin/calf - not per_I_neal!). Can't walk (got the stick out again) can't yoga, can't sleep through the night. Can't keep up with chores, work, or play. I never really thought of myself as #disabled until now. And, oh man, the struggle is REAL. I went from fully functional, excited about the start of the #PhD to completely, literally lame. Over, like 4 days. It is, personally, emotionally, TERRIFYING. I'm lucky to have a great clinical team and my GP has been stellar this week. Now on Diazepam and codeine, and finally some relief. Which I find myself needing to leverage to tidy and clean the flat. What a fucking treat.
