As part of my art project A Thousand Faces I painted another invisible Multiple Sclerosis symptom, and it actually was the first symptom of my 2nd flare up; pins and needles.
This is Beatrice, my personification of this abnormal sensation of the skin:
Created to raise awareness and spread knowledge of the chronic and invisible illness Multiple Sclerosis.
Watch the video to learn more about this :)

When I was in middle school, we had a fire drill. I was joking with a friend about how lucky I was that during that period I had a class on the first floor, so I wouldn't have to hobble down the stairs, since my knee was particularly bad that day. My teacher overheard and said to us, "Chronic pain is a real thing and I'm sorry you have to deal with that." Me and my friend both nodded, and continued our conversation. That was the first time I heard the phrase "chronic pain". Before that day, I always thought that I just didn't exercise enough, that the pain I felt was my own fault. I never brought it up to any doctors because I thought it was normal, that everyone had days where they couldn't move their body at all without being in extreme pain. I think those words might stick with me for a long time, that reassurance that I had never known I needed.
Chronic pain is a real thing.

being scheduled for an individual training you get no other notification about only to show up and 6 different members of leadership including the department manager are in the teams call is moderately terrifying, but the flipside is i think being trained as the sole duplicates processor as a temp means i'm pretty much guaranteed the job after 90 days, lol

Hi guys I hate to do this but don't have any other options, I would really appreciate any donations.
This is my service dog, Æris.
I was informed that I had come up on the wait list to receive him with 3 weeks to pick him up (I applied over a year ago and had lost hope I would ever get one). During this time I was barely able to pull together the $ to bring him home (800 out of the 2,500 I have to pay before he is 1yr). Currently I have been suffering an extended flare up due to my health and am unable to work. I am struggling to make rent. I have borrowed $$ to get him the necessities but it is causing me a great deal of stress, which in turn, is making my health worse. Please donate if you can, every cent counts, he will help me immensely and ultimately allow me to have a lot more independence.
My goal is $650, my P** pal is: jadeamxranthine
if you can't donate please reblog.

I will try to reply to things tomorrow.
I was wiped out all last week after work.
Partially because I've got a severe iron deficiency and because I was on a third round of antibiotics fighting off the return of upper respiratory infection (yes I have been on antibiotics pretty much constantly for two months).
I also fell while walking the dog yesterday so have been just using this weekend to do basically nothing except rehearsal.
I'll probably feel better tomorrow though cus I have my chiropractic adjustment.
