I am always afraid I will have a more painful flare-up, and I am usually right. Since Atypical Face pain is constant and never goes away. I am worried 😟 that the pain will become unbearable
Fear of pain flare-ups does make things quite difficult to accomplish. As the post above discusses, it is a very real anxiety 😬
On a personal note 📝 I suffer from this fear 😨 almost every day. In the morning 🌄 I am always concerned 😟
For example, today, I had some simple things to do. I needed to clean out Max’s cat box 📦 as well as take out the garbage 🗑 and wash some sheets and blankets. After I had done so, unfortunately 😕 I am now having some severe pain 😢 This is why I was afraid 😨 to do these things.
To be honest, things like eating have become more and more difficult 😕 I am always concerned 😟 that eating anything with cause a flare-up and I am usually correct. This is again worrisome because a lot of my energy seems to be fading.
Right ✅️ now, it is 4 pm Eastern here in Florida, and there are a couple of small things I still need to do, and yes, I am afraid 😨 I have a package 📦 which will arrive today, and I wonder just what will I feel like getting up to open the door? I also need to make some oatmeal for tonight’s possible dinner 🍽 and I worry 😟 about how just standing might make things worse. Oh, and I also need to put the clothes in the dryer. Things have definitely become harder as time has gone on, with yet still no definite diagnosis.
Symptoms can be easily triggered by very small activities. We are most always in a heightened state of fear of what we do.
