An artist dealing with chronic pain
I was diagnosed with MS in 2002 and Fibromyalgia in 2011. Many symptoms are shared by both diseases. Regardless of the name of a condition, you need to learn how to live with it and to stop it from drowning your creativity. This is no easy task. I strive to prevent my condition from having total control of my life and my creativity.
1. Start small

Fibromyalgia
I would like to set up a group for Artists suffering with Fibromyalgia. It is hard to be creative when dealing with pain and exhaustion day in and day out. The worst part of this nasty daily experience is that your mind just keeps on plugging away with ideas for all your creative outlets but the body just can't keep up at the pace you did prior to the onset of this disease.
Are there artists here at Deviant that suffer from MS or FM? I would like to know. I would like to ask them how they deal with this and keep from circling the drain.
Very happy today creating tulips
great day working with Digital Oils creating these beautiful tulips. I have always admired paintings of flowers but never truly ventured there
