A huge thank you to the new and old readers here on Chronic Curve for your kind words, your comments your likes and reblogs, your shares, and your interest. As of today, there are just under 20k of you subscribed to Chronic Curve and it just blows my mind and humbles me each time I see more people reading these posts, learning about these diseases, learning about our lives as chronically ill patients.
What a gift that is. Cannot wait to see what 2013 has in store for us all.
As always, thank you for reading.
Love & spoons,
Emily

To all my MS, Fibro, Lupus, RA, Pancreatitis, and chronic pain friends. Please try your best to have a wonderful Christmas. I know this time of year is exceptionally hard as we are pushing ourselves and trying to appear normal around friends and family. Trying not to show our pain so we won’t make them feel “uncomfortable”. But tonight, I received a huge reality check as to what my body can and cannot do.
My face feels like acid has been poured on it. The muscle in my left arm is protruding and so tight and exceptionally painful. My leg muscles are so tight that walking hurts like heck and when staying still it still hurts like heck. Headache escalating quickly.
Doing my best to not let it steal my holiday spirit. It’s easy to say but hard to ensure that is doesn’t.

For my brain flowers:: National Health Blog Post Month (Melody's Schedule): Why I Write About My Health
I started this blog soon after I was officially diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Before then, I lived almost a year with debilitating symptoms and no idea what I was to do to help myself. I had no insurance (until later), and very little support from friends and family because many thought…

- Me: Prednisone, why are you ruining my life?
- Prednisone: I'd never do that, I'm here to help. Check out your joints!
- Me: Ummmm, they are all red and puffy and stiff, AND they hurt like hell!!!
- Prednisone: I do my job, what are you trying to say? How'd I ruin your life? I want examples!
- Me: Well, I'm a raging bitch, I gained an amount of weight I can't say out loud without crying, but let's just say you can't tell the difference between me and a woman that is in the beginning of her second trimester of pregnancy, I can't stop eating, my blood sugar is all over the damn place, I have acne, my vision is all strange, AND my head hurts!!!
- Prednisone: Wasn't me.
