Worst crisis
It’s been about a week now that I can barely walk or even move because of severe sacroiliac inflammation, despite being on Amgevita. Honestly, it feels like everything collapsed at the same time.
I’m in the middle of moving, things at work have been going really badly, and after 8 long months of physiotherapy, I had finally started getting back into sports and feeling a bit like myself again… only to end up back at square one. Mentally, it’s exhausting. I feel like every time I start rebuilding my life, something comes along and knocks me down again.
The one thing keeping me going right now is my friends. This whole experience made me realize who truly cares about me. They helped me through the entire move, checked in on me constantly, brought me food, stayed with me when I couldn’t manage on my own… and honestly, I don’t know how I would’ve handled this without them.
For those of you who’ve gone through periods where chronic pain completely took over your life: how did you hold onto hope? How did you stop yourself from feeling defeated when your body keeps betraying you just as things start getting better?
I really hope everyone here is doing okay.
