Stuff is weird but's incredible how much freedom I have gained since I started fighting fibro/RSI/whathever.
I still get flare ups, still have some things to undo, so the journey is not over. But I'm super stubborn so I ain't letting this stuff, nor the pain to define me.
Been doing some progress. Instead of thinking how disabling the pain is I started doing stuff I couldn't do before: like reading/playing games/using sketchbooks.
To overcome my fear of pain I began doing these short studies on my handhelds. Now I can use 3DS again!
