Thanks Danyel, I've gotten almost too good at hiding it! I'm trying my best to be more open about it, maybe it'll help others with awareness.
One of the hardest things about it is the unpredictablness of it, I can be baseline and then flare for no reason that I figured out. Then sometimes I'll stay flared for days, weeks, months, other times I'm back to baseline the next day.
I think being open can be good. I guess trying to hide it is maybe also a way for you to not want to have this pain, which makes sense, of course, nobody wants any chronic pain. So sharing this struggle that you're having, well, it probably won't be a cure, but it can give more understanding and, as you say, awareness. As I wrote in my last Substack about Luizão, he is very open about his struggle, and it helps him go through it
Thanks Jae! My current reality has the most support I've ever had!! between my wonderful wife, my amazing mentor Carty, the Carty Cartel and the TCM Community, wonderful people like you. I've come a very long way in the last 3 years

This is a big share. I wish this was a reality you had more support in.
