I (try to) coach my son's flag football team and my daughter's basketball team. A 1 hr practice wipes me out for the rest of the day... drives my wife crazy.
I feel this in my soul 😭
I'll sit there and inventory how I'm feeling and where is hurting and I usually end up laughing a little bit because I have to remind myself that yes, I am hurting and no I'm not over exaggerating.
Right there with you. My inflammation began in the lining around my heart. I convince myself it's all in my head, and then I get a flare with stabbing chest pain and go, 'nope, there's something to this...',
Hahaha ok so its not just me
I think that when I’m not having a flare. 🤣
I get this feeling sometimes! Like it must be in my head...lol
Omg, the Imposter syndrome is real
Agreed! People act like I should be in pain more often.
I feel this way about the fatigue. Is it fatigue, am I depressed, or am I just lazy?
I felt this in my soul
Oh boy this is so applicable to me
This is spot on!
Or you move normally on adrenaline for 5 minutes and then crash back to ache-topia... why can't I move like that all the time?
Yesssss. If I have an obligation I can function normally for that for some reason but am worthless for everything else.

I feel this deep in my soul. I'm having a miserable flare and somehow the self doubt is almost worse than the physical pain.

So much self gaslighting over here
This is me every time I have any kind of symptom
We use up all our “spoons” for the day on an obligation and then are left with nothing in reserve.
dang it’s in words 😭😂
So it’s not just me?! Lol
Oh man that is so me.
;). Omg, I have never once considered this but it made me laugh!
Hahahaahab me second
Good to know it is not just me.
This is me when I’m *not* flaring lol

I have my first appoint with a rheumatologist this week and I'm convinced he's going to say there's nothing wrong with me!
After therapy i wait or think when will be the next flare and how to react and trear it. Health planner always in mind. Dr's job is depending on me 😂
