To you, the soul living with chronic pain, invisible illness, fibromyalgia (and other auto immune disorders), illness of any sort, discomfort of any degree, pain of any severity, and any disability on the ability-spectrum, I’m just like you. I’m disabled and have been living with fibromyalgia for years. It’s a difficult path and it changes the plans we had for ourselves and the lives we wanted to lead. I know how hard the bad days can be, just as I know the joy and freedom of the good days (rare as they may be). I made this journal when I realised the many of the disability/chronic pain journals available were not made by those living the spoonie life. We are a unique bunch and we understand one another. all of these pages began as as the ones I would use for myself. they started as scribbles in a blank journal I had. within a couple of weeks I was able to eliminate certain food groups and certain stressors I never knew were actually bothering me. I realised my pillow wasn’t supporting my neck enough, giving me headaches. ultimately, journaling and tracking what I was doing and how I was feeling lead me to bettering things in a way I never thought possible. I know, this isn’t a cure. for what many of us have there is no cure. but we can make our lives better. we aren’t alone in this struggle. Wishing you nothing but love and strength, Rachael xoxo ———————————————————————- ???? shipping: free shipping for everyone, everywhere! please continue to read the super important information below: ???? how does shipping of the journals work? orders will be fulfilled by the printers and sent directly to you after being printed (printing takes 4-5 days). doing this reduces shipping time significantly as the journal can be printed in your own country and delivered to you as a local, standard parcel. this also helps to greatly reduce the overall cost to print and ship, a saving that I am able to completely pass onto you.

This information can be helpful in managing your pain by avoiding triggers and planning activities around when pain is likely to occur. - tracking progress: Journaling allows you to track your progress over time, which can be helpful in monitoring the effectiveness of your pain management plan. -reflecting on emotions: Chronic pain can be emotionally taxing, and journaling can provide an outlet for expressing and processing those emotions. - communicating with healthcare providers: Keeping a journal of your pain can help you provide your healthcare provider with detailed information about your symptoms, which can be useful in making an accurate diagnosis and developing an effective treatment plan. -self-awareness: Journaling can also provide an opportunity for self-reflection and self-awareness, which can be beneficial for your overall well-being. ————————————————————— ???? purchase with purpose ????????
