A Day in My Life During a Flare | Chronic Illness Without the Sugarcoating

This is what chronic illness really looks like — raw, heavy, and unfiltered. I’ve been off methotrexate for two weeks to help my immune system fight an infection, and now I’m deep in a flare. The pain is intense. The fatigue is crushing. My heart rate is high, my blood pressure’s up, and new rheumatoid arthritis nodules are growing fast. In today’s video, I’m bringing you along with me: → Getting ready from bed → A trip to the pharmacy → Another doctor’s appointment → Pushing through afternoon work meetings This isn’t a productivity vlog. It’s a survival story. I didn’t try to look better than I feel. I didn’t cut out the hard moments. I want you to see the truth — because if you’re in the thick of it too, you deserve to feel seen. 💛 If today is a flare day for you too, I hope this makes you feel a little less alone. Let me know in the comments how your body is doing. We’re in this together. #chronicillness #flare #rheumatoidarthritis #invisibleillness #spoonie #dayinmylife #vlog #methotrexate #fatigue #connectivetissue
