It’s often the last straw that breaks the donkey’s back. We put up with a lot then the smallest incident is the one that tips us over the edge. 🙁 #lupus #lupusawareness #lupustrust #lupuslife #chronicillness #chronicpain

Worst is when my body gets annoyed at an exercise that it was perfectly happy with last week 🙄 #lupus #chronicillness #lupuslife #lupuswarrior

Until I got a chronic illness (well several!) I didn't really understand what it was like. These are just some things that we'd like people to know about it. #chronicpain #invisibleillness #Lupuswarrior #chronicillness #LupusLife #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness #lupusfacts

Our lovely supporter Kelle Bryan will be appearing on Celebrity Catchphrase playing for us. ITV this Saturday 31 August at 7pm. 😊👏 #lupus #lupusawareness #celebritycatchphrase #kellebryan #ITV

I'd be pretty sure there's not one lupus patient that hasn't, at some time, underplayed their pain. It's often so we don't upset loved ones but it could be that we just don't want to talk about it yet again so we try to hide it. #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness #chronicillness

I'm sure a lot of people don't understand that chronic illness affects all aspects of your life. They probably know we're in pain and feel sorry about that but don't know about all the many other things that come along with chronic illness. #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness

100% 😂 #chronicpain #autominnunedisease #invisibleillness #lupusfighter #LupusSucks #chronicillness #LupusLife #lupuswarrior #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness #lupustruth #lupusfacts #exhausted #lowenergy

Also if you live alone you have to find a way to do things as you have no choice. #chronicpain #autominnunedisease #invisibleillness #lupusfighter #LupusSucks #chronicillness #LupusLife #lupuswarrior #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness #lupustruth #lupusfacts

This rarely happens to me, but when it does I appreciate it. 😊 #chronicpain #autominnunedisease #invisibleillness #lupusfighter #LupusSucks #chronicillness #LupusLife #lupuswarrior #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness #lupustruth #lupusfacts

It's a difficult balance between trying to 'get on with life and push through' and not pushing ourselves too far and feeling frustrated at what we can't do. #chronicpain #autominnunedisease #invisibleillness #chronicillness #lupuswarrior #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness

Yeh, that's not happening! 😂 #chronicpain #autominnunedisease #invisibleillness #lupusfighter #LupusSucks #chronicillness #LupusLife #lupuswarrior #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness #lupustruth #lupusfacts

I tried to remember the last time that happened to me and I can't, if I had to guess I'd say 30 plus years ago. 🫤 #chronicpain #invisibleillness #lupusfighter #chronicillness #LupusLife #lupuswarrior #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness #lupustruth #lupusfacts #exhausted

Some days we're allowed to 'do a thing', but then our body will make us rest for the next two days (at least). It always keeps score! 🫤 #chronicpain #autominnunedisease #invisibleillness #chronicillness #LupusLife #lupuswarrior #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness

You would think with all the care we take of our bodies and all the things we do for them we'd all be able to run marathons, but no 🙄 #chronicpain #autominnunedisease #invisibleillness #chronicillness #LupusLife #lupuswarrior #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness #lupustruth

Exactly, some people just don't seem to understand the 'chronic' part of lupus. 🙄 #chronicpain #autominnunedisease #invisibleillness #lupusfighter #LupusSucks #chronicillness #LupusLife #lupuswarrior #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness #lupustruth #lupusfacts

Yay for me, have a happy Friday! 😃 #chronicpain #autominnunedisease #invisibleillness #lupusfighter #LupusSucks #chronicillness #LupusLife #lupuswarrior #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness #lupustruth #lupusfacts #thepotsiepanda

Exactly this! 🫤 #chronicpain #autominnunedisease #invisibleillness #lupusfighter #LupusSucks #chronicillness #LupusLife #lupuswarrior #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness #lupustruth #lupusfacts

As I always say, people are very welcome to message me if they need advice, but you should listen to your own body, we're all different so you should do what's right for you. #lupus #lupusawareness #lupustrust #lupuswarrior #chronicillness #chronicpain #katemitchellauthor
