Rwading this felt like a hug. I am a chronic pain and fatigue sufferer, too. Sending you lots of healing. The light of your writing sheds a gentle glow on the most tender areas💙
Autoimmune pain is a nightmare. I cringed reading bits of this essay. Have you guys looked up Gabor Matte's video on the connection between women and autoimmune disorders?
I get this totally. What a delightful piece! My comfort go-to novels are the Agatha Christie style mysteries. The kind of non-intellectual, guilty pleasure books that comfort and thrill. I think there must be a connection between owning the guilty pleasure and releasing the pain.
Different versions of volini, relaxyl and moov’s have always been by my bedside since i was in 6th. It always resembled my nani’s bedside! Loved it- apna apna sa laga🤣
I remember reading a version of this before. But it felt smoother this time...like there was more distance between the pain and you - more time with Oils, Journals and Novels! This is a very Raju piece! 🩷💗💗🤗

Yes! He is one of the doctors whose books helped :)

Uff yes! Binu! That is so true... an essay in itself. Perhaps this is how I will heal my current pains and blocks. 💖 By owning my pleasure. Thank you.
Any thing which gives a dopamine hit is a saving grace in times of pain :-)
