This is Invisible Illness.

It looks like this.

Not all disabilities are visible. My health is messy, that doesn’t make me a mess.

A hard pill I had to swallow recently, was accepting that no matter how much I wish and pray away this season, chronic illness doesn’t work that way. It takes the right doctors, the right diagnoses, and the right treatments. This can take countless tests, and in my case, 8 years to curate.

Next comes the fight.

I’ve finally received diagnoses for Lyme Disease and FND and can now start treatment and healing. Some day, I’ll get to wake up and see all of this in my rear view mirror, but I can’t skip the pain to get there. This is a powerful storm and it’s going to take one helluva fight - but this is not my forever.

She is small, but she is strong, and the only way out is through, so game on body, let’s do this thing.

There’s a purpose to the pain, it’s what I keep living for. - broken body
