Warning ⚠️ Long rant, raw emotion: I’m struggling today. This morning I woke up after a rough night, being unable to sleep because of whole body pain. I felt like I had lifted weights, moved furniture, something that would have caused pain to be so bad. But I hadn’t. My legs aches I couldn’t even lay still or straight. I had to prop them on pillows and constantly move to be comfortable. I took an ibuprofen and went back to sleep. I woke up nauseous at 10 am, but had to take my daughter to work, and run necessary errands. It was time to get ready for work at 11am, I took a Zoltan for my nausea but could not bring myself to struggle with the #compression leggings that I wear daily to help support my legs and reduce inflammation and pain. I threw on a pair of tight leggings under my regular jeans and had the strength to look mice hoping to feel better, because, #whenyoulookgoodyoufeelgood I began feeling better as I drove into work. But this evenings emotions crashed. I’ve seen a couple of #lipedema specialist surgeons and received quotes, but this one I received today really hit me. This is something that is crazy expensive because #lipedema is considered #cosmeticsurgery here in the #united states -and being something out of my range for affordability, it hit me, will I have to do this everyday? Wake up in pain everyday for the rest of my life? This is a progressive disease. I’ve done my part in losing over 150lbs hoping to feel better and I just feel worse, more pain from the lipedema fat left on my upper thighs pressing on the nerves. Unable to move quickly or even run. My dream is to run!! But my thoughts and emotions are telling me no hope right now. i know things will get better, but I’m in a rough spot right now. I just want to curl up and sleep and forget about it all. It’s ok to not be ok sometimes. Give yourself time to feel the emotion, address it and move forward somehow.
